Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Bayer Leverkusen

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Matthieu Epolo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bayer Leverkusen, and both men came out saying it was fine.
