Dear Mr. Editor,
Christopher Matthias, Christopher Matthias, Christopher Matthias, you should not pronounce on football matters in Guyana. I refer to the article in one of the daily newspapers dated 12th December 2018 under the caption, “Matthias queries rationale for K & S in Futsal Festival”.
You were impeached by FIFA after serving as the President of GFF for a short while. Your cabinet disintegrated tremendously under your watch. Did you ever ask yourself why? Like an Unorthodox and Ill-advised General in the Army you were booted out dishonorably. This is the first time in living History that FIFA visited these parts (CONCACAF) to rescue a country from its continuous slide to football demolition. Thank you FIFA. In the past FIFA unreservedly came to the rescue of its Member Associations after being hassled by the respective Governments. Countries were banned and threatened with suspension after the Government intervened which is contrary to FIFA’s regulation.
You were a critic of Mr. Klass but Mr. Klass’ status compared to you was way better.
Can you say if during your tenure, had FIFA gave you any cash: If not why? Was it related to your tenure at the Georgetown Football Association?
The Kashif & Shanghai Organisation was unceremoniously removed by you because you felt you had the capacity and capability to organize a football tournament of such magnitude so you can get a chance to get your hands on some of the funds, but God willing nothing of that nature materialized. Your attempts fizzled out and died a natural death; this showed you that you did not have the capacity and wherewithal to be an effective leader and organiser.
The present GFF Executive in an effort to have the football venues filled again to capacity in their wisdom contracted out the running of their first ever International Futsal Tournament to the K & S Organization. Your rant and rave of who owns the tournament is least of the matter and it confirms a petty and callous thought pattern.
Mr. Matthias I urge you to just get on to your proverbial horse and just ride off into the night so you can be exiled in the wilderness and leave football administration to the experts.
Thank you.
Yours in Sports,
Kashif & Shanghai Organization.
