Chapter 15 The situation of the forest team

Wood no longer talked about his plan to retire in front of interim head coach Greenwood and club chairman Evan Doggety. Faced with the questioning of many reporters 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 has passed. But Evan Dogette did not feel relaxed because of this. The continuous failures, the rumors of coach change, and Wood's retirement were rampant, which made the Arab consortium suddenly change its mind. They did not express their intention to completely terminate the negotiations for the acquisition of Nottingham Forest Club, but they significantly slowed down the pace of the acquisition and expose themselves to acquire the club at a lower price.

This is obviously something Evan Doggettti doesn't want to see. During this period, Alan Adams has been scolded by the club chairman with a worse and worse temper. Although they had previously had a friendship to start a business together, decades have passed and the friendship has long faded. What's more, such a big thing, as the person Evan trusts the most, can Evan not be angry?

Since Tony Donne left, Evan Doggety's only person in the club can rely on is Alan Adamsler. But now Alan's performance has made Evan doubt - maybe he can't even rely on this person.

Tony Donne did not return to Los Angeles just because Wood went back to participate in training and competitions because things were far from being resolved. And Wood went to work, and he should stay and take care of Sophia, and he should do this in terms of reason. Although Miss Vivian is here, the only one who can talk to Sophia is afraid that it is the only one who can talk to Sophia.

So Tang En called Shanniya and told her that she might not be able to come back during this period, and if she was not too busy after her work, she could come to Nottingham. Shanniya heard that Sophia was in a bad condition, so she called to greet Sophia. As for Tang En's request, she naturally agreed without saying a word.

Originally, Tang En sneaked back alone, but no media knew about it. However, after staying here for a long time, the ubiquitous media could smell his scent even with their noses. So a few days later, photos of Tang En entering and leaving the hospital appeared on the sports pages of several newspapers.

Just one day after the news of Tang En's return was reported. He welcomed a special guest in Sophia's ward.

In name, Evan Doggety came to visit Sophia on behalf of the club, hoping that she would recover soon, but in fact he came to look for Don Eun.

"When did you come back? You won't inform me if you come back?" In the reception room outside, Evan Doggety looked very familiar with Donne.

Tang En smiled slightly: "I was too busy two days ago and didn't care about it. Didn't you come to the door yourself?"

The two of them met face to face after four years, and the filthiness of the past seemed to be calm. At least from the surface, outsiders absolutely cannot see that they had once been enemies of each other.

The two of them then talked about it. They just didn't talk about football or the dilemma faced by the club recently. Later, when there was no more talk, Evan Doggetty said goodbye.

Tang En took him to the door of the ward, but did not continue to take him. After Evan left, he returned to the ward and sat on the sofa to ponder.

According to his understanding of Evan Doggetti, no matter where this person goes, he will always bring Alan Adams with him. But this time, he came to the hospital alone to "visit" Sophia. Although Evan said that the reason why Alan did not come was only to be responsible for negotiating with the Arabs, even the tabloids now know that the Arab consortium has temporarily stopped the negotiation plan and returned to the UAE, saying that they want to reconsider the Nottingham Forest Club

The bid of the club. Obviously, in their minds, such a bad club is not worthy of Evan Doggety's offer. Even if its past is brilliant, it is useless. The businessmen always care about the present and the future. They don't care about the past. If you cannot bring them benefits now, then you have no value in their minds. If your future appreciation space is small, your position in their minds will further decline.

Now everyone knows that Nottingham Forest’s acquisition has reached a deadlock, but Forest fans don’t know what they should be in. They are tired of the club’s chairman who once brought them countless honors to become a jumping clown. But they don’t want to hand over their club to a group of Arab beards who don’t know football at all and don’t understand English football. Look at Manchester City, a mercenary piled up with money is just toys for those Arabs.

As one of the oldest clubs in the world, how can you fall to that level?

If Nottingham Forest is a team like Nordsshire, fans can initiate fundraising and acquire the club by themselves. However, Nottingham Forest has a long history. The record is brilliant, and it cannot be successfully acquired by fans alone. Tony Donn earns a lot every year, and even so, his entire savings are not enough to acquire the club, unless he can find a more powerful consortium to invest, but he has never had much contact with the brokerage industry, so he is not very touched in this regard.

Interest. Evan Doggetti priced the club 1.2 billion pounds. Some media outside laughed at Evan for saying this. Nottingham Forest Club has 400 million debts. Excluding this part, the club's market value is at most 500 million pounds, which means that 900 million pounds is the reasonable price for the acquisition. However, the Arabs are also cruel enough to directly press the price to 600 million pounds, and 400 million is used to repay the debt. The remaining 200 million is the actual value of Nottingham Forest Club in the eyes of those Middle Easterners.

With such a offer, it is no wonder that many Nottingham Forest fans have no favoritism for the Arab consortium at all. For a team that has won five European Champions Leagues, the actual value of 200 million is an insult. So the Forest fans are tired of Evan Dogette's "selling farce" every season, and on the other hand, they do not want the Arabs to really join the club.

Tang En's thinking continues.

Originally, Alan Adams was Evan Doggety's most trusted left and right arm, and he also left the negotiations with the Arab consortium to fully manage.   In the Nottingham Forest Club, which has long been listed, it can be said that besides Evan Doggety.   The most powerful person is Alan Adams. But now Alan has not followed Evan, and Donne cares about this matter very much.

Does this mean some attitude of Evan?

Thinking that Evan Doggetti was actually a person who had a strong desire for power, Don En felt that this time he came alone was definitely not like he said, and Allen was "involved in business".

It seems that something must be brewing inside Nottingham Forest Club...

But what does that have to do with me?

Tang En shook his head and stood up. He decided to go out for a walk. Since his identity has been exposed, it doesn't matter. He happened to go see the old friends in the Forest Bar.

If Wood had read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he must have known the allusion of "being in Cao's camp and heart in Han". Because his current situation is typical of "being in Cao's camp and heart in Han". Although he returned to the team and started training, his mother's condition did not improve and her body was still very weak. He even was admitted to the sterile ward this week, which was a symbol of the intensification of the condition.

Under such circumstances, how can he be able to be stable and devote himself to training and competitions? After all, Wood is also a person with flesh and blood. Instead of 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 as a mother, and he wanted to miss his mother. Sophia cannot say that she would not let him miss her.

Greenwood was also at a loss about this. He was not a master of psychological adjustment, and Wood didn't listen to him. There may be only one head coach in this world who can make Wood bow down, but that person has retired.

The teammates were helpless about this. No one could ask Wood to put all his thoughts on football at this time. He played the role of the captain as the leader because they did not have that position. As Wood's only relative, his mother was lying in the sterile ward of the hospital and could face life danger at any time. What they should do was to persuade Wood to temporarily put down football and take care of his mother, rather than asking him to set an example on the training ground and on the court and play football regardless of family affection. For these professional players, football is a job, and no job can be better than his family.

However, once Wood makes a decision, others basically have no room for interruption. So, even Wood's best friend "Little Monkey" Bell couldn't persuade him to go back and take care of his mother.

The subsequent League Cup match was the first game after George Wood returned to the team. As a result, he performed poorly in the game, but he was still active in the running. But he was a bit like a headless fly. Running around, let alone organizing offense and defense. Nottingham Forest's tactics are based on George Wood. Wood's performance is not good, and the team is like a mess of sand and cannot be organized.

In the end, Nottingham Forest lost 0:2 to Sporting Lisbon at his home court.

The next two days later, Nottingham Forest faced Fulham in the home league. George Wood's performance still did not improve, but Greenwood changed his tactics and did not continue to let Wood be the core, but instead let Balotelli become the core on the court, and the offense revolved around him. The team defeated Fulham 2:1 at home with Balotelli's outstanding performance, and finally stopped the trend of continued decline.

But the good times didn't last long. In the next week's league, Nottingham Forest lost to Newcastle. This time, Balotelli was no longer useful as the core, because it was much easier to freeze a forward than to freeze a midfielder...

Nottingham Forest's ranking temporarily stopped falling in the last round of the league, and continued again after losing to Newcastle.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 �

Even more, Evan Doggetti was still worried. He only led the team to play four games, but Greenwood, who lost three games, felt that he was not suitable to coach the first team. So after losing to Tottenham Hotspur, he took the initiative to resign from Evan Doggetti, hoping that the club chairman could agree to his resignation as the first team head coach and continue to coach the youth team.

How could Evan Doggetty agree? You have to know that he can no longer find a suitable head coach. But his resolution could not defeat Greenwood's strong desire, and in the end he had to agree to Greenwood's resignation as acting head coach in the first team.

Next, Evan Doggettty had to appoint Freddy Eastwood as interim head coach to manage the team, and on the other hand, he stepped up his actions to find a suitable head coach.

But in fact, if Eastwood had a choice, he would definitely not want to take over the hot potato. On the one hand, he felt that his level was not at the level of being a head coach at all, and on the other hand, it was naturally because the Nottingham Forest is simply a coaching black hole. No matter how famous and capable the head coach comes, he can only lose his reputation and lose all his life.

In the end, Eastwood frowned and took office. He did not show the joy of being promoted to head coach at the press conference. Although it was interesting to be able to coach his former teammates, he did not have the mood to joke. Faced with reporters' questions about the team's performance and prospects, he just expressed his hope that his performance would live up to the trust of the fans and the club. In addition, he did not say a word of extra words, and the atmosphere at the press conference was also a bit cold.

After the press conference, many media said that the prospects of Nottingham Forest are still not optimistic. This time they did not deliberately oppose Nottingham Forest, but deliberately blacked Nottingham Forest. What they said is the truth. Even if a fan of Nottingham Forest comes out, they may have to make a similar decision.
