Medeama Chief Executive James Essilfie has warned fans of the club to be measured in their expectations for the club this season.

The Mauve and Yellows began the new Ghana Premier League on a sorry note as they suffered their second-worst defeat since the club made its Premier League bow after losing 4-0 at Bechem United.

Sunday’s premier league opener was Coach Ignatius Osei Fosu first competitive game in charge of the Mauves & Yellows for the 2021/22 season since joining from Techiman Eleven Wonders.

The defeat came as a surprise to patrons and followers of the club but Club Chairman James Essilfie has told the club’s supporters to lower their expectations for the upcoming season as the new technical team will need time to find their feet.

“It’s important for our fans to measure their weight of expectation on the team this season,” – Mr. Essilfie told the club’s website.

“We have a new coach and he will need time to get everything right. We don’t want to pressure on him and the players.

“This is a very demanding club but it’s important to be realistic in the scheme of things. We have a good squad capable of competing but we need time for them to jell.” – Mr. Essilfie concluded.

Medeama will next take on Bibiani Gold Stars at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday.
