The Jamaica Football Federation is facing a massive 20 million dollar bill following the recent developments with General Secretary Dalton Wint and the recent sacking of coach Theodore Tappa’ Whitmore.
Coach Whitmore who was sacked during the Concacaf final round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers has sued the local governing body for football for a reported 10 million dollars for breach of his four year contract which was to end at the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The recent call by the national senior team players for the sacking of General Secretary Dalton Wint is expected to cost the JFF in the region of close to another 10 million dollars.
This as Wint in his demands for resigning is reported to be asking that he be paid all his salary and entitlements from now up to December 2023.
While indicating a willingness to be paid monthly up to December of this year Wint is asking to be paid the rest as a lump sum in January 2023 with his 10 percent salary for 2023, his gratuity for 2023 and all his owed vacation.
He has also been reported to have indicated a willingness to stay on as per his contract for a month or if the Federation thinks ok, for a week.
In the meantime a letter from JFF President Mike Rickettes to Wint outlined that on receipt of his resignation is confirming the commitment of the JFF to compensate him in full as per his employment agreement for the period January 1 2020 to December 31, 2023.
