It is an un-doubtful truth that Liberian football is in ruins. The country's football is indeed at a very low ebb, its dilapidated football program leaves a lot to be desired, the national league is a sham in terms of organization and competitiveness, the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) is incomplete with poor lightening facility and other salient components illusive, the national team has since gone in shambles with Liberia at an embarrassing 160 place according to the latest FIFA rankings. The sub-committees or sub-associations are rarely empowered to affect their programs and to make matter worse, the Liberia Football Association (LFA) is divided into groups with various agendas.

Cognizant of this, stakeholders are anxiously keen to exercise their soccer franchise in a manner that would take the country's football from such a melancholic state as they yearn for the March 20 elections during the 15th ordinary congress of the LFA.
It has being reported that incumbent president Sombo Izetta Wesley, surprisingly known as the "Iron Lady" despite the discouraging state of the country's game faces what could be a weighty task against business big-wig Musa Bility.

With the usual issue of voters being divided as to who they think is the right person for the job, the debate looms as to whether Mr. Bility is fit for the mammoth task of lifting Liberian football from the doldrums to a more respectable and flourishing one. The pessimists argue that Mr. Bility lack the experience and should in fact go through the ranks order than being catapulted from what they tem a "mere club president" to the throne of the highest football seat in the country, the LFA top post.

Whether such is a set rule or just a means of driving away voters from the business man is what many are itching to know. But, it is an open secret that one does not need all of the years or time in the world in terms of going through the ranks before moving to the top seat of a football house which Mr. Bility envisage. On a more intrepid note, Triesman David the head of the English Football Association (the oldest football association in the world, founded 1863) is headed by someone who inarguably did not go through the so called ranks of football. Traditionally, the Football Association boss of England must rise through the ranks of the FA's committee structure with respect to holding the post of a county football association. However, in 2008, a politician from the communist party of Great Britain, a Labor member of the house of Lords, previously minister at Department of innovation, university and skills got at the helm of the FA as the "First Independent Chairman" from outside the football hierarchy.

This to a large extent defeat the argument that one must go through the so-called ranks of football before moving to the helm of football top seat.
Triesman David, a fan of Tottenham Hotspur from all indication has taken the English FA to another level since his ascendancy to the top seat in 2008. Even a less-passionate person of football is aware of the huge success of the English game, and there is no need to reiterate such strides made.

So, the argument that Mr. Bility must have years of experience or move from the Executive Committee level after maybe five years before going to a Vice President (VP) position and then the position of the president is a weak one that must not in any way be given credence.
