00:00You've had an early taste of the scrutiny that accompanies this role, with the questioning
00:05of the working arrangements that the FA have granted you in the early weeks of your tenure,
00:10the fact that you appear to have missed some Premier League weekends when going back to
00:14Germany. What did you make of that scrutiny, what would you say about it and will it continue?
00:18I think you confused the time a little bit between October and January because I was
00:23many times in Germany and enjoyed my time off because I was not on the job. Since I'm
00:28actually on the job, I am based in London, I spend many, many days regularly in St George's
00:35Park. We watched I think almost 25 matches live to see every player live at least once
00:42in the stadium, so it was a lot of travelling. And yes, you're right, from time to time I
00:47was in Germany to see my children, but the majority of the time I was here in London
00:53so I don't really get the point of the story.
