KINGSTON, Jamaica – AUSTIN 'Jack' Warner, who on Monday felt compelled to quit as Trinidad and Tobago's minister of national security, following scathing findings of a CONCACAF-authorised probe, seems to be the kind of politician one could either easily admire or strongly dislike.
His name is virtually synonymous with management of regional/international football and there are those who consider him to be an enigma in a riddle.
As a primary architect — with money and hard work – the flamboyant Warner had help to make a reality in May 2010 the People's Partnership Government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. He rapidly emerged as the prime minister's most high-profile and controversial Cabinet minister, even before next month's mid-term period.
