Let’s hope football progress now that the dust has settled
Dear Editor,
FIFA has come and gone and Guyana’s football is back to normal, at least for the near future. As someone who has followed the sport for decades I would urge all, the older heads, the younger heads and those without heads to use this new found opportunity not to create strife, mud sling nor bicker but rather to create an atmosphere in which football can develop to its full potential. Colin Klass is gone and we should say thank you to him for whatever he has done and even what he has failed to do, even though the latter is far more than the former.
We need also to thank the Georgetown Football Association for standing up to the GFF’s Goliath. For too long the GFF has been running football like a cake shop business and it is now clear that the writing is on the wall for its chosen few.
We must also not forget to extend gratitude to Odinga Lumumba whose tenacity and refusal to bow not only forced Kashif and Shanghai and other promoters of football to increase compensation to players, but also served as a catalyst for FIFA sending a team to clean up the mess created by the GFF.
It is now time for new blood, new vision and new modus operandi. Collective and organized work will yield nationwide benefits. All aboard? Safe sailing!
Yours in sport,
Mark Arthur
