Letter to the Sports Editor…A few questions for the GFF President

Jan 19, 2014 Sports

Dear Editor,
Please allow me the opportunity to ask the president of the G.F.F a few questions.
Firstly I must commend the president for affording the football fraternity some level of insight into the selection process of (a) Technical director, (b) Head Coach and (c) players for preparation for national duty.
In two separate releases, references were made to the technical committee of the G.F.F and in the most recent names were mentioned to wit; Ivan Persaud (Chairman), Wayne Dover, Lyndon France, Denzil Thompson, Brian Joseph and Sampson Gilbert.
My first question is why Mr. Collie Hercules, vice President of G.F.F and Mr. Joseph Wilson are not a part of this body. By any criteria, rational of course, both Mr. Hercules and Mr. Wilson should be included. They are by far the two most knowledgeable and experienced coaches locally.
Mr. Hercules is an approved FA ‘B’ license coach, so is Mr. Wilson. Collie Hercules has played at the highest level both internationally and pro-league football in Colombia, Barbados and T&T, where he was also a player/coach and subsequently head coach.
Mr. Wilson is one of the two individuals qualified as a coaching instructor by FIFA. Their knowledge and expertise can only benefit Guyana’s football.
Secondly, of the five (5) named members of this elite panel, three have been officially nominated for the vacant head coach position, selected by this said committee and according to the “ghetto –internet” Mr Persaud is interested in both the Technical Director and Head coaching positions.
Are we heading in the right direction, or are more self-serving interests being displayed?
Bilaal Eusi Nantambu
