Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 15 The situation of the Forest team

    Wood didn't talk about his plans to retire in front of the temporary manager Greenwood and Club Chairman Evan Doughty. In the face of numerous journalists' questions on this issue, he kept silent, as if nothing had happened.

    This made Evan breathe a sigh of relief.

    In any case, the current crisis is over.  But Evan Doughty didn't feel relaxed.  The continuation of failure, coaching change, Wood’s rumors of retirement, these things are so rampant that the Arab consortium suddenly changed its mind.  They did not say that they would completely terminate the negotiation of the acquisition of Nottingham Forest FC Club, but they obviously slowed down the pace of the acquisition, and they were exporting, hoping to acquire Club at a lower price.

    This is obviously what Evan Doughty doesn't want to see. During this time, Allen Adams is not skeptical by the club president who is getting worse and worse.  Although they had a friendship of co-founding before, but decades have passed, that friendship has long faded, not to mention that such a big event, as the most trusted person around Evan can't do well, Evan, can he not be angry? ?

    Since Toni Twain has left, the only person Evan Doughty can rely on in the Club is Allen Adamsler.  But now Allen's performance has caused Evan to be suspicious – maybe this person can't rely on it.

    Toni Twain didn't return to Los Angeles because Wood was honestly going back to training and competition because things were far from being resolved.  And Wood went to work, and he should have stayed to take care of Sophia, and he should do this in love.  Even though there is Vivian Miss, people who can talk to Sophia are afraid that there is only Twain.

    So Twain called Shania and told her that she might not be able to come back during this time, if she was not busy after her work.  Can come to Nottingham.  Shania heard that Sophia's condition was very bad. She also made a special call to greet Sophia. As for Twain's request, it was natural to promise, no words.

    Originally Twain was a person who sneaked back and did not know the media.  However, it has been a long time here, and the ubiquitous media people are smelling his nose and smelling him.  So within a few days, Twain’s photos of the hospital appeared in the sports version of several newspapers.

    Just after Twain’s return to China, I saw the day after the report.  He ushered in a special guest in Sophia's ward.

    Nominally, Evan Doughty is on behalf of Club to visit Sophia at a time, hoping that she will recover soon, but in fact he is looking for Twain.

    "When did you come back? Don't you tell me back? ”In the outside reception room, Evan Doughty was very familiar with Twain.

    Twain smiled a little: "The first two days, too busy, I didn't care."  Are you not coming to the door yourself? ”

    The two men met face to face after four years, and the embarrassment of the year seemed to be cloudless.  At the very least, from the surface, outsiders can never see that they used to be enemies.

    Then two people pulled east and west.  Just don't talk about football, don't talk about the dilemma that Club is facing recently.  Later, when there was nothing to talk about, Evan Doughty left.

    Twain sent him to the door of the ward and did not continue to send it.  Wait for Evan to go.  He went back to the ward and meditated on the sofa.

    According to his understanding of Evan Doughty, no matter where this person goes, always bring Allen Adams.  But this time.  He was alone to come to the hospital to "see" Sophia.  Although Evan said that Allen didn't come because he was only responsible for negotiating with the Arabs, now even the tabloids know that the Arab consortium has temporarily suspended the negotiation plan and returned to the UAE, saying they have to reconsider the Nottingham. The bid for the Forest FC Club.  Obviously in their minds, such a bad Club, not worthy of Evan Doughty's offer.  Even if its past glory is useless, the business people will always care about the present and the future. In the past, they did not care.  If you can't bring them benefits now.  Then you have no value in their minds. If your future appreciation is small, the position in their minds will fall further.

    Now everyone knows that the acquisition of Nottingham Forest FC is deadlocked, but the fans of the Forest team don't know what they should be.  They are now bored with the club's chairman who has brought countless honors to them.  But they also don't want to hand over their Club to a group of Arab bearded hands who don't understand football and don't understand England football.  Take a look at Manchester City FC, a mercenary that relies on money, but it's just the toys of the Arabs.

    As one of the oldest clubs in the world.  How can you fall to that point?

    If Nottingham Forest FC is a team like Noz County.  Fans can launch a fundraiser and buy Club themselves.  However, Nottingham Forest FC has a long history.  The record is brilliant, but it can't be successfully acquired by the donations of fans.  Toni Twain has a lot of income every year. Even so, his total savings are not enough to buy Club. Unless he can find a more powerful consortium to invest, he has never had any contact with the brokerage industry. He is not interested in this.  Evan Doughty gave the Club a price of 1.2 billion pounds. The media has ridiculed Evan. This is the opening of the lion. The Nottingham Forest FC Club has a debt of 400 million. To cut this part, the club has a market value of 500 million pounds, which means 900 million pounds. It is a reasonable price for the acquisition.  However, the Arabs are also embarrassed, directly pushing the price to 600 million pounds, 400 million to repay debt, and the remaining 200 million is the actual value of Nottingham Forest FC Club in the eyes of the Middle East.

    It's no wonder that many of the Nottingham Forest FC fans have a good impression of the Arab consortium. For a team that has won five European Champion Cups, the actual value of 200 million is simply an insult.  Therefore, the fans of the Forest team are tired of Evan Doughty's "sale farce" for each season, and on the other hand, they do not want the Arabs to really enter the Club.

    Twain's thinking continues.

    Originally, Allen Adams was Evan Doughty's most trusted left-handed man, and he was given full authority to negotiate with the Arab consortium.  In the Nottingham Forest FC Club, which has long been a listed company, it can be said that in addition to Evan Doughty.  The most powerful person is Allen Adams.  But now Allen didn't follow Evan, and Twain was very concerned about it.

    Does this illustrate Evan's attitude?

    Thinking of Evan Doughty is actually a person who has a great desire for power, Twain thinks that this time he is only coming in, not exactly what he said, Allen is "business-ridden."

    It seems that the interior of the Nottingham Forest FC Club must be brewing something…

    But what does that have to do with me?

    Twain shook his head and stood up. He decided to go out and walk, since his identity had already been exposed.  It doesn't matter anymore.  Just take a look at the old friends in Pub Forest.

    If Wood has seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then he must know the story of "being in the heart of Cao Ying in Han".  Because his current situation is a typical "in the heart of Cao Ying in Han."  Although she returned to the team and put in training, her mother’s condition did not improve and her body was still weak.  This week even lived in a sterile ward, which is a symbol of increased disease.

    Under such circumstances, how can he stabilize his state and concentrate on training and competition? Wood is also a person with blood, flesh and emotion.  Not a piece of wood, or a robot killer from the future world.  Although he promised his mother to return to the team, his emotions could not be controlled by his mother. He wanted to miss his mother.  Sophia can't say that he won't miss him.

    Greenwood is also at a loss, he is not a master of psychological adjustment, and Wood does not listen to him.  The manager of the world that can make Wood bow down is probably only one person, but that person is retired.

    The teammates also have nothing to do with this.  No one can ask Wood to put his mind on football at this time.  Play Captain's surface rate because they don't have the position to do so.  As the only relative of Wood, his mother is lying in the aseptic ward of the hospital at this moment, and may be in danger at any time. What they should do is to persuade Wood to temporarily put down the football and take care of his mother instead of asking him. Lead by example on the training ground and the Stadium, regardless of family.  For these professional players.  Football is a job, and no job can be bigger than your family.

    It’s just that once Wood made the decision, there was basically no room for others to intervene.  Therefore, even Wood's best friend "Little Monkey" Bale, there is no way to persuade him to go back to take care of his mother.

    The subsequent UEFA Europa League competition was the first game after George Wood returned to the team. As a result, he did not perform well in the game and he was still active.  But it is a bit like a headless fly.  Run around, let alone organize offense and defense.  Nottingham Forest FC's Tactics is centered on George Wood.  Wood's performance is not good, the team is like a loose sand, no way to organize.

    Eventually at his home, Nottingham Forest FC lost to Sporting CP Lisbon at 0:2.

    In the main venue league the next two days, Nottingham Forest FC played against Fulham FC.  George Wood's performance is still not improving, but Greenwood changed Tactics and did not continue to make Wood the core, but let Balotelli become the core of the game, the attack around him.  The team defeated Fulham FC 2:1 at home with Balotelli's outstanding performance, and finally stopped the downward trend.

    But the good times are not long. In the next week's league, Nottingham Forest FC lost to Newcastle.  This time, Balotelli didn't work as a core, because freezing a Striker is much easier than freezing a midfielder…

    Nottingham Forest FC's ranking stopped temporarily in the last round of the league and continued again after losing to Newcastle.  1:3 lost to Blackburn Rovers FC, 0:1 lost to Tottenham Hotspur FC…By the end of October, the Forest team's ranking had dropped from the original tenth to the fourteenth.  Throughout the month of October, they defeated Fulham FC 2:1 and never won a game. They didn't even have a draw. They played a total of five games in October, but they only got three points.

    Even more so, Evan Doughty was still behind, only playing four games, but Greenwood, who lost three games, felt that he was not suitable for coaching First Team, so after losing to Tottenham Hotspur FC Proactively resigning to Evan Doughty, I hope that the chairman of the Club can agree to his resignation as a member of First Team Manager and continue to go back to the request of the Youth Youth Team.

    How could Evan Doughty agree, knowing that he can't find a suitable Manager.  However, his retention was not overwhelmed by Greenwood's strong will, and he eventually had to agree to Greenwood's resignation as First Team Agent Manager.

    Next, Evan Doughty had to appoint Freddy Eastwood as the temporary manager to manage the team. On the other hand, he stepped up to find the right Manager.

    In fact, if Eastwood can choose, he certainly does not want to take over the hot potato.  On the one hand, because he feels that his level has not reached the point where he can do Manager, the other is naturally because the current Nottingham Forest FC is simply a coach black hole.  The well-known Manager with the ability to come can only be famous, and it is defeated.

    Eventually Eastwood frowned.  At the press conference, he did not show the joy of being promoted to the Manager. Although it was interesting to be able to coach the former teammate, he did not have such a joke.  In the face of the journalists' questions about the team's performance and prospects, he just expressed his hope that his performance will live up to the trust of fans and Clubs. In addition, he did not say anything extra, and the atmosphere at the press conference was a bit cold.

    After the press conference, many media have expressed that the prospects of Nottingham Forest FC are still not optimistic.  This time they did not deliberately pair with Nottingham Forest FC, deliberately black Nottingham Forest FC.  They are all telling the truth, even if they are replaced by the most hard-working fans of Nottingham Forest FC, I am afraid I can only make a similar decision.

    “It seems that Evan Doughty should revise their goal for the season – not to enter the Europe Champion Cup finals, but to qualify for the English Premier League league…”
