Dear Editor,
It is a critical time now in Guyana’s football, two decades have passed and it has been a challenging one for us. On April 12, 2013 we have an opportunity to make a difference, make a statement and make a change for the betterment and survival of football in our country.
It is my humble opinion that the time has come for us to elect qualified, dedicated and football driven personnel to serve the football fraternity and our country. It is time for us to elect a team with a vision, a plan and a team to take Guyana’s football to the next level.
For the past seventeen years (1995-2012), I had the privilege and opportunity to represent my country at the highest level. I have seen the National team grow from strength to strength. However, more can be done given the right structure and personnel. It is crucial that we pay critical attention to our facilities and more importantly, to the development of the game from the youth level.
My main goal and objective is to return to my country in a coaching capacity, to assist in the development of football and make Guyana’s football team a force to reckon with.
Over the past couple of years I have gained a lot of experience and a wealth of knowledge and I am ready and willing to transfer once given the opportunity to serve.
To this end let’s come together and make a difference in Guyana’s football on April 12, 2013. Charles “Lilly” Pollard
