Friends or Enemies of Football?

The football family’s hopes were raised and they expected a complete turnaround from the controversy riddled BFA tenures of the past. When they campaigned and eventually took office, the Sebego led Friends of Football clique were saying all the right things and all that they said was good music to our ears. There were a few sceptics but on the whole, there was general approval and a mood of expectancy.
