Former Guyana Football League (GFL) Vice President Wayne Forde said that the current discourse that has awakened within the football fraternity can only be good for the sport as it was severely lacking during the Colin Klass era.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Forde said:”I want to commend the entire football family for the awakening that has occurred in football. The level of activism we are seeing right now can only be good for the sport.
“Despite we might not agree with all the people, the fact that everyone is now coming forward and voicing their dissatisfaction with the manner in which football is being administered at the national and sub-association level, we must acknowledge that this level of openness and frank dialogue was absent during the Colin Klass era. Everyone that contributed to this open process should be applauded,” said Forde.
Questioned about his thoughts on the tabling of a no-confidence motion against the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Christopher Matthias, Forde said “I think the reasons are less than sufficient for unseating the President.
“Unless there is absolute evidence of financial impropriety on the part of the GFF president, there is no valid reason to abruptly end his presidency. I believe that we should be patient and allow his term to come to an end.
“I am afraid if we go down this road, history will judge us badly.
