BFA election

Don Burgess
By the early part of this evening the BFA affiliates will have voted to stay the course with Larry Mussenden or opt for a different direction with Richard Calderon. It seems like the biggest complaint with Mussenden's tenure as president is that he's 'not a football guy'. Bermuda football has done very well under Larry's hand on the helm - It is getting a home at Gym Field, The sport has received millions of dollars from government to build its programme and a first rate technical director in Derek Broadley. Not bad for 'not a football guy.' Richard has a passion for the sport and has detailed plans in the direction he wants to take the sport. They could very well mean that Bermuda won't enter the World Cup as development becomes the catchword of his term. Who will prevail tonight?

I think it will be a close call! Larry Mussenden has done some good things although there is room for improvement. My concern about Mr. Calderon is that he has not spoken publicly about what he has to offer to the post.We are supposed to presume that he can be good for the job-but on what basis. I do believe though, that the president sjould not be able to serve more than two terms continuously.
