We just must not accept mediocrity - Rwanda president Paul Kagame blasts Arsenal

Rwanda President Paul Kagame has blasted the management of the football side he supports, Arsenal, after they started their English season with a 2-0 away defeat at Brentford.

"We just must NOT excuse or Accept mediocrity," Kagame tweeted last night.

"A team has to be built with purpose to win, win, win. So that when we lose... .it was not to be expected. I am sure we all know on whose shoulders the heaviest burden rests. I hope they know too or even accept it."

He questioned the team's management. "Can't we have a plan that really works? One part to look at is how we deal in the market- players we buy to execute the plan. The touch and go mentality does not bring change."

"Brentford deserved to win and they did. The game itself aside Arsenal and the fans don't deserve to kind of get used to this... .NO ! I say this as one of the big fans of Arsenal. The change has taken to long to come!"

Rwanda are shirt sponsors of the club.

It's been a struggle of about decade(s) -ups&downs-more downs until this point. Can't we have a plan that really works?? One part to look at is how we deal in the market- players we buy to execute the plan. The touch&go mentality does not bring change.
