Manchester City CEO, Richard Arnold has come out to urge fans to have patience with new manager, Erik ten Hag. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that success will not be achieved overnight, and even if fans are feeling frustrated and disappointed at the moment, he can only urge them to be patient with the new era.
Richard added that Erik will aim to maximise the potential of existing players while building towards long-term success at the club.
His words, “Suffice to say we are not happy with where we are in terms of performance on the pitch,”
“We understand fans are frustrated and want to see change and improvement and I can assure you that we share that frustration very intensely within the club.”
“We also feel confidence that change is coming because of the action being taken to drive long-term success. The appointment of Erik ten Hag was the most visible example of that action and the most important. Success won’t be achieved overnight but we are determined to get there.”
“Erik will aim to maximise the potential of existing players while building towards long-term success,”
“The squad will be strengthened and renewed this summer and Erik will be a key voice in this process, together with the recruitment department to identify and secure targets.”
“There remains huge potential in the existing squad and strong academy talent coming through.”
“Preseason is such an important part of the squad’s preparations for the season ahead,”
“Our players and coaching staff will be relishing the opportunity to play against such a high calibre opponent in Atletico Madrid, as well as the chance to perform in front of a full stadium of passionate Norwegian fans.”
