An amended version of a Bermuda Football Association Restructuring Report has been drawn up for approval by the governing body of soccer in the Island.

A sub committee, under the chairmanship of Aldwyn Savery, has recommended several important measures be implemented as a result of the Restructuring Committee's report that was made public this week after being in the hands of the BFA for more than a year.

Savery's committee members have finished their deliberations, having made several adjustments to recommendations contained in the report and have forwarded their "re-worked'' version to the BFA executive committee.

The sub committee has suggested that a retreat be held at which all standing committees with representatives from clubs attend in order to study appropriate sections of the Restructuring Report and develop implementation strategies for a comprehensive six-year plan for soccer.

Among the sections the sub committee worked on improving were those covered under the headings: Organisational Structure, Mission Statement, Vision and Statement and Goals.

The new report calls for BFA Directors to give assistance to clubs as far as preparing proposals for upgrading their facilities -- documented proposals which Government require before considering financial help.

It also indicates the importance of advising clubs on the availability of management courses via available community programmes and the Employers Council.

Savery, who is also the BFA's first vice president, could not be reached for comment yesterday.

And, BFA General Secretary David Sabir, seemingly upset because details of the Restructuring Report were made public this week by The Royal Gazette , was unwilling to comment on the sub-committee's work or anything else pertaining to the report.

"The Restructuring Report is an in-house document, I will have no comment on it,'' said Sabir.

Already some recommendations from the initial report have been put into effect since it was completed more than a year ago, such as the appointment of a Director of Coaching. Former West Ham star Clyde Best took up that post some 10 months ago.

One of Savery's committee's recommendations is to ensure that steps are taken to restructure the junior programme with emphasis placed on development and the re-establishment of the international programme at all levels. Another suggestion is that all coaches in the First Division become qualified with B licences.

The sub committee agreed that the report's recommended changes to the league should be reviewed along with its policies and procedures to help curb unruly behaviour by spectators.

The recommended changes to the league will likely be of huge interest to the clubs and fans since they will mean a significant switch from a format that has been in existence for many years in Bermuda.

It remains to be seen what the response will be to having the First Division reduced to eight teams with just two games being played on Sundays and the other two on Friday and Saturday nights on a regular basis.
