A Bai Malleh profile that excludes his time with Young Africans FC is
incomplete.
The development work mentioned, firstly his coaching stint at Real De Banjul
albeit winning the championship, has not moved Real FC to new heights.
The other Junior team he developed to international stardom is news to me!
However I know even our best teams (Real, Wallidan or Hawks FC) have not
fared well.
In my opinion, the key test to Bai Malleh's election should be his
COMMITMENT.  After all, if he is the only bold character to challenge the
status quo, perhaps we should gamble and give him a chance.
