Bermuda Football Association affiliates are urging the governing body to reconvene the postponed annual general meeting as soon as possible ? with or without an audited financial report.

At the meeting at Police Recreation Club early last month, BFA treasurer Delroy O?Brien showed up without a financial report, for the second year in succession, and affiliates then voted in favour of adjourning the AGM until such a statement could be produced.

BFA president Larry Mussenden later said the meeting would ?resume when a report will be ready which we expect will be in the next six weeks or so?.

But since then affiliates have been left completely in the dark as to any developments concerning the report or a new date for the meeting.

Now, only two days shy of six weeks since the first meeting, some members say they have ?had enough? and have informed the BFA via correspondence that they are prepared to meet with the Government Auditor themselves. They have demanded the AGM be completed by this Thursday ? exactly six weeks after the first meeting was adjourned.

?We have yet to hear anything from the BFA or Mr.Mussenden on this matter,? wrote one executive from Paget Community Football Club in a letter which was sent to the association last week.

?We (affiliates) are prepared to meet with Government Auditors so they can give us a briefing on the BFA?s position, allowing the BFA AGM to continue and be completed on October 28.?

The letter continued: ?We are not prepared to continue to have football run as it is because this casts a dark cloud over the sport we love and have spent many years building into our number one sport.?

Following last month?s meeting, Mussenden placed blame for the lack of a financial report on the association?s computer system which had ?caused the audit process to be delayed?.

Had the AGM gone ahead as originally planned, Mussenden was expected to be challenged for his post by former national coach Mark Trott who has gathered the solid backing of former national coaches, two honorary vice-presidents and a former top BFA executive.

In the lead-up to last month?s meeting, battle lines were clearly drawn when retired BFA executive Robert Calderon said the local game had ?slipped into an abyss? under the current administration while Mussenden went on the counter-attack by labelling the group seeking to oust him from office as ?deserters?.

?They deserted local football at a time when Bermuda football needed them most in an act of betrayal,? he told alluding, in particular, to the two honorary BFA vice-presidents who are among those backing his rival, Trott.

?These honorary vice-presidents have taken action to undermine a sitting president of the BFA,? he added. ?And I am of the view that their behaviour and conduct is unbecoming.?
