Shania has also taken note of the recent media reports. She's not blind or deaf, and she knows what the fans are doing in the stands and on the sidelines, and to ask her what she thinks, of course, is selfish in the hope that Donn stays with her. But after getting along with her husband for more than ten years, she also knows that it is only her husband who makes the final decision. So she obediently chose to be silent.

At this time, she can only choose to trust her husband.

"In a few days I have to hold a press conference to announce the issue of going and staying." At dinner, Don said suddenly, much to Shania's surprise. You must know that when the media was hyping up a few days ago, Don was silent at home.

She was keenly aware of something.

"It's time to understand all this." Don said.

She was right.

But Shania didn't ask "what was your decision?" She just nodded and didn't say anything.

Don wasn't surprised by Shania's reaction, so he didn't take the initiative to explain what he would say at the press conference.

There is this tacit understanding between the two people.

The issue of Donn's departure obviously affected the team's performance. In the weekend's away fixture, Nottingham Forest came close to losing at home to Fulham. Fortunately, Barot broke through Fulham's goal with a beautiful free-kick in the final moments, making it 1-1 and saving a point for his team. Also because of the draw in this match, they did not continue to rise in the rankings, but remained in seventh place.

It was all thanks to their luck that Forest were able to hold Fulham to a draw. Nottingham Forest are at an all-round disadvantage, both statistically and practically, and if it weren't for the Fulham striker's ability to waste chances, even if Balotelli scored a goal, they would have only failed.

Perhaps the Fulhams weren't expecting Nottingham Forest to be so sluggish, they were a little too excited.

For example, there was once a ball that was almost empty, and it was harder to score than to score, but the Fulham striker fired a powerful volley with excitement, which directly pumped the football into the back stands...... After the game, Donn admitted in an interview that he and his team had "very, very, very good" luck today, which is his exact words, and he used three "very" in a row.

However, he did not criticize the team's performance.

Because he knows that the team's erratic performance has something to do with him. If the crews of a fleet do not know whether their most beloved captain will be able to stay and continue to lead them in their happiness after this adventure, then they will be suspicious and wavering, which will naturally affect their combat effectiveness in battle.

Don thought that by being silent, he could minimize the impact. It turned out that he was wrong. He had to give his crew a decision and let them know what the future really looked like.

A reporter asked: "I heard that you promised at the training ground that you would give an answer to the fans who want you to stay?" ”

Don didn't deny it, but nodded: "Yes." When I get back to Nottingham, I'll make an announcement at a press conference. ”

The reporter didn't expect Donn's answer to be so refreshing, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked again: "Do you mean that when you return to Nottingham, you will announce that you will stay after the end of the season?" ”

Don nodded, and didn't say anything more. But that was enough, and the media were excited about Donn's answer, as for the game...... Who cares?

※※※On the bus back to Nottingham from London, Don spotted Evan. Dogetty was there, and he came to the door.

"David ......," he looked at Assistant Coach Chris Lack, who was sitting with Donn.

Chris Rac is a smart man, and he knows that Evan must have something to say to Donne, and it has something to do with Donn's stay. So he got up and gave up his place to Mr. President, and he made it to the back seat, next to Eastwood.

As Chrislak gave up his seat, Don didn't say a word, just looked up at the two people who were swapping seats.

Waiting for Evan to sit down, he was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Have you already made a decision, Tony?" ”

Don nodded.

"I guess it must not be a good decision for me. Can I persuade you to take it back? ”

Don shook his head, "If you still want my friendship, Evan." Don't do that. ”

Evan. Dogty looked ahead with some disappointment.

Look at Evan. Dogotti was so disappointed, and Don couldn't bear to be so indifferent, so he comforted: "In China, there is a saying: 'If the old does not go, the new does not come'. It's the same for the Forest team and for you. I'm not leaving, how can you have a new surprise? ”

Evan. Dogetty didn't care about the Oriental proverb, he only cared about one thing: "But I can't think of any new surprises that you old fellow can have when you're gone." I've been looking for more than four years, but I haven't found it. ”

Donn smiled, it seemed that it was easy to get Evan to accept that he was gone, as long as he found a suitable heir.

'Of course, I have a very suitable candidate to be the new manager of Nottingham Forest. I'm very, very optimistic about him and he can get Forest back on the road. ”

Evan. Dogotty was frightened by Donn's evaluation, because the unruly Donn rarely used such explicit words to describe a person, so his mind looked for those world-class marshals.

"Is it Jose Mourinho?"

This was the only answer he could come up with, because of the same temperament and surname, this was probably the only one who could make Don look favorable.

Unexpectedly, Tang En shook his head.

"Not really."

He didn't explain to Evan why Mourinho wasn't, he just named his own person.

"It's Don."

The name made Evan stunned for a moment, not surprised, but ...... I didn't think about who this "Tang" was.

Don saw the confusion in his eyes, but it didn't mean it. An assistant coach who left the team eight years ago, it's normal for the club president not to remember. At that time, Evan was in high spirits, and he didn't care about the people and things around him.

"Remember when I first brought him to the club and wanted you to give him a job?" Donn slowly told Evan the story, and he had time anyway, when it took him nearly two hours to get from London to Nottingham. It's boring on the road, and it's fun to tell stories.

Only then did Evan remember: "That Chinese youth? ”

Don nodded: "He started as an ordinary coach of the youth team, and has worked as a youth team director, first team coach, and first team assistant coach. He left the club seven-and-a-half years ago to move to Notts County, who are now mid-table in the Championship. ”

Evan frowned when he heard the name "Nodsshire". When he heard that it was only a mid-table team in the Championship again, his brow became more and more furrowed.

Evan's reaction naturally fell into Done's eyes.

"Tony, this ......"

"Do you think he is not well-known and his resume is not good-looking?"

Evan nodded, that's what he thought. The little-known head coach can't keep the dressing room, and he feels this deeply. How many of the coaches who were recruited before can manage the big-name stars in the locker room? There is almost no one, and the locker room cannot be closed, so there are many factions in the locker room, the team is falling apart, and what combat power is there? A bad resume means that there are no brilliant results, which is not convincing to the public, and there is no way to convince yourself that the team can have a bright future under him. What's more, the lack of brilliant results also means a lack of experience in dealing with big scenes. Nottingham Forest is a Premier League team, the target is Europe, and at that level, can a manager of a mid-table Championship team cope with it?

'Not all managers need to rely on their own fame to manage the dressing room, and it doesn't matter if the resume is not good-looking, because it is better to draw on a blank sheet of paper. That's what Don said. "Before I got my first trophy, I didn't have a good resume as Don."

At the time of this, it is true that Don En's resume when he debuted was really not good-looking. He lost his hopes of promotion to the Premier League in the most crucial of games before being sacked and returned to the youth team. Then when he became Forest's first-team manager again, he only had half a season's first-team coaching experience. But it is such a person who has created the most glorious eleven years in the history of Nottingham Forest Club.

If Evan had swept Donn out of the house because he was not well-known and had a bad resume, I am afraid that Nottingham Forest would never have had that glory.

"And Don has enough strength, all he lacks is a better stage than Nottsshire. Think of the Nottingham derby in January, where his side did well, at least 45 minutes ahead of us. I'm sure if you give him time, he'll paint you a beautiful picture. ”

"A Chinese......" Evan was still a little worried, or he was not willing to be persuaded by Don like this.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Don raised an eyebrow. "Chen Jian is also Chinese, but he is now our main force." In fact, Donn is very similar to saying to Evan:

Lao Tzu is the real Chinese, and Tang is purely British. If you don't believe the Chinese, you just don't believe me? But I've won so many championships...... Of course, it was impossible to say such words, and Tang En only muttered a few words in his heart. Disdain for Evan's superficial views.

Evan then fell silent for a long time, as the car drove quickly and smoothly on the highway, with the players and coaches in the car doing their own things, some listening to music with headphones, others taking a nap with their eyes closed, and others playing with handheld game consoles and cell phones.

Don adjusted the back of the chair slightly and lay back, intending to sleep in the car. Like he said, he's prone to drowsiness right now, and in order to keep his brain clear, he's taking a break when he can.

Evan didn't seem to notice Don and continued to be silent. Don didn't care that the chairman of the club was by his side, and just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When the bus arrived in Nottingham, Donn woke up. I found that there was still Evan sitting next to him. Dogety, and he looked like he was waiting for him to wake up.

"What are you thinking, Evan?" He asked.

Hearing Donne's question, Evan seemed to have just woken up from deep thought, and turned his head to look at Donne: "I'm wondering if the heir you recommended is willing or in your shadow ......"

Don grinned, he hadn't thought about this question either. For Don, his arrangement may be a bit overbearing and unreasonable, because he has always considered things from his own point of view, but he doesn't seem to think about him from Don's point of view - a young coach with no proud resume is suddenly going to be Tony. Don's successor, that kind of pressure is enough to crush many ordinary people with poor psychological quality.

But after being in contact with Tang for so long and having the same ulterior secrets, Tang En firmly believes that Tang is not an ordinary person.

"In the first few years, there may be this kind of effect...... Donn muttered. But it's good to take it slowly. Take your time, Evan. The Forest team still has a long, long way to go......"

Evan sighed, feeling that he was not convinced by the stubborn man next to him.

"Okay, when is the right time for me to go to him?"

"Wait until the end of the season, it's too early for the media to gossip and things can change." Don is glad that Evan has finally decided to accept Don so that his heart is half at ease.

What about the remaining half?

As the bus pulled into Wilford, Evan patted Donn on the shoulder before stepping out of the bus: "When do you think it's better to have a press conference, Tony?" The club can arrange it for you. ”

"Uh......" Donn opened his mouth and looked at Evan. Dogotti got off the back of the car, thinking that he must be very proud because he pulled a goal back...... Thinking of the expectant eyes of the fans and the slogans fluttering in the stands, Don felt that it was much more difficult to deal with the fans than with the boss...... This is also the truth, you have to talk about emotions when dealing with fans......
