Credible reports gathered by this paper have indicated that former Liberian International striker; Musa Shannon will declare his intention to contest the Liberia Football Association (LFA) elections slated for March 20, 2010.

According to the reports, the 11 caps former Liberian International and ex- Portuguese club Moritimo striker will declare his intention to contest the LFA elections as Vice President for Administration of the local football house.

The reports further revealed that Mr. Shannon will support well accomplished business man Musa Bility in an attempt to restore Liberian football that is dying slowly.

It can be recalled in 2009, African football legend George Oppong Manneh Weah said on BBC that it is time for the continent football to be run by former footballers.

The statement from Mr. Weah sparked debate in many quarters as there were contrasting views on said cardinal issue.

But, with the Liberia Football Association (LFA) elections slated for March 20, 2010, it is not yet clear who the FIFA 1995 world footballer of the year will support in the process, but credible reports have indicated that he could throw his support behind fellow ex-international Musa Shannon for the second top local football seat.

Shannon will face a strong opposition from incumbent, Pennoh Bestman and veteran administrator, Mr. Garmondeh Karnga for the LFA second top seat.

Shannon is to make this formal at a schedule news conference later this week

Musa Shannon made his international debut in the Lone Star 1-0 away win against Chad when a certain French man Philippe Redon was at the helm of the technical staffers guiding Kadala Kromah.

 There have always being the argument that those who played football to the highest level should run it, because they know all about the rudiments of the game.
