W Connection are my no doubt the most successful club in Trinidad and Tobago professional football and they've got the silverware to prove it.
However last season the Savonetta Boys only managed one title, in the First Citizens Cup, a title they have won a massive six out of seven tries.

The Stewart Charles Fevrier coached side fell short of the League title by two points with CLICO San Juan Jabloteh taking the honours, second to Neal and Massy Caledonia AIA in the FA Trophy competition and second to Jabloteh in the Lucozade Sport Big Six.

"This year we want to do better," said Fevrier. "We have fallen second in three competitions, winning just one last season and that's not where we want to finish."

"We always have big ambitions as a club. We want to win everything," he continued.

Fevrier has had a few open screening sessions this month but according to the W Connection coach, signings are still far.

"We are not yet ready to sign anyone. We are still looking. Our team is a young one and we will be starting the 2009 season with most of the players from last season."

W Connection will be without the services of veteran Brazilian midfielders Jose Luiz Seabra and Ronaldo Viana on the playing pitch when the season kicks off in April.

Seabra is expected to join the club in a coaching capacity while Viana will only team-up midway through the season. They are both currently in Brazil.

Fellow Brazilians utility player William Da Silva Olivera and goalkeeper Murilo Da Costa will start the season.

Fevrier is anticipating another interesting season adding that no team can be underestimated.

"We have always held respect for all teams," he said. "The little teams are the ones can sometimes deny us the League by taking points from us. We would get wins against the big teams but when the little teams come up against us, it can be different."

Commenting on the interests of Angostura 1976 Phoenix, South End and Marabella Flames all seeking promotion to the Pro League, Fevrier said, "It's good for football in Trinidad and Tobago and the League once they understand and meet the requirements of Pro League. They will have to meet the financial, administrative and developmental requirements. And most importantly adequate playing staff to compete at a professional level."
