It was reported over the weekend that, while he is just interim head coach, the club are not allowing Freddie to bring in his on coaches meaning the whole thing is falling on just him and Per Mertesacker.

That’s the Per Mertesacker who is supposed to be running the academy at the same time.

Speaking after the match, Freddie revealed exactly what he’s told the board about the situation:
