He went further that as football fans we need to say the fact if the game of football is to develop in the country. He cited an example over the radio saying the other day I was listenening when somebody was saying that Dr Bangso wants to be president of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) but he cannot manage Old Edwardians football club very well.
Blell said when he heard about that he wanted to react but decided not to do so, because people will say that they are brothers so he wants to defend him.

Blell stated that the most successful period in Old Edwardians football club was when he and Dr Bangura managed the team. He said they were in Old Edwardians for eight years and they qualified the team for international competitions and during that period there were chances for scouts to see the players that is why the continental competitions are very important for clubs Blell emphasised.
