My view was that the president would call a press conference together with his other committee members to show the nation that they are one and the alleged differences are just professional arguments, which are healthy for the growth of the game and the association in general.

However, the reports are coming out as malicious gossip. Week in and week out the public is inundated with news of division if not a semi paralysis state of the executive. For me, it would appear the entire BFA executive including the president is indisciplined. Why I say this is because every little discussion of the executive committee always finds its way to the media including midnight meetings.
