Let's stop FUFA wrangles
EDITOR — Last week's court case that halted the start of the league confirmed to me that football wrangling did not start with the FUFA president Lawrence Mulindwa and nor will they stop when he leaves.
It is not about the people in FUFA today or tomorrow but a conceptual problem of many Ugandans at large. Ugandans talk too much and do very little.
Pointing fingers and legal battles will never solve problems in Ugandan football since we are just trying to treat symptoms but not, the root causes.
All the wrangling will do is leave FUFA looking dirtier than it is and result in the distancing of so many potentially useful Ugandans because of the kind of picture painted.

FUFA should have talked to Pro-Line
EDITOR — If FUFA had sat down with Mujib Kasule and Nalubaale to iron out issues, last week's case could not have gone to court.
We are way too advanced as a human race not to realise that dialogue is the best medicine. Can one say that FUFA is interested in dialogue?
If so, why are there so few attempts to do this before suits get to court?
