The afternoon press conference was crowded with more than 80 journalists from all over the world, filling the large press room of the Crimson Court.

Evan. Dogetty and Alan. Adams attended the press conference.

At first, reporters were quite reserved, asking questions about O'Neal's resignation, or who would be the next manager of Nottingham Forest. But after a few questions, the reporters couldn't hold back any longer, and they all raised their hands to stand up and ask about Tony. Donn's question.

"Excuse me Tony. Is Donn's open letter true? ”

"Is it just because he can't meet his demands for absolute power in transfers?"

"Whether the club admits without the same Tony. Is Donne's contract extension the biggest failure? ”

'It was said that there was a large crowd of fans protesting at Wilford gates this morning, can you talk about it?'

"Alan. Mr. Adams, you said the club would give the fans an explanation about Tony. Don resigned. Can you reveal a little bit about what kind of explanation it is? ”

……

These stormy questions caused the two of them to be anxious. None of them were the kind of people who were good at dealing with reporters, and now they knew how stupid they were to attend this press conference — they could have assigned, casually, press officers to be spokespersons.

Later, they had to make a killing move-

"I'm sorry, but the topic of this press conference is to Martin. An official response to O'Neill's resignation application, we don't answer any questions that aren't relevant to that. "Alan. Adams stood up and gave Evan a shield, but how long could he do it?

The reporters rolled their eyes and changed their questions:

"Excuse me Martin. O'Neill's resignation is not the same as Tony. What was Donn's departure for the same reason? ”

'O'Neill and Donn are said to have had another secret talk after Forest's friendly with England after their press conference, is his resignation related to that?'

"There are rumours that the dressing room at Nottingham Forest is not united. O'Neill didn't have the trust of all the players. Does this still have something to do with Donn's influence? ”

"We lost two managers in two months. Does the club have any countermeasures? ”

……

Anyway, the reporters were going to force these two to speak out to Tony. Donn's view.

Allan. Adams had to look at him from side to side, and replied that the donkey's lips were not on the horse's mouth. The reporters were not satisfied with his coping attitude, and the questions asked became more and more acute.

"Are the rumours that you received commission from Inter Milan in Lennon's transfer deal?"

"Nonsense!" Alan finally got angry. "Such rumors are slanderous against me, and I reserve the right to sue!" He stood up and waved excitedly.

Evan sitting next to him. Dogetty glanced at him and glanced at the press officer.

The press officer hurriedly stood up to "save the driver": "Gentlemen, this is the end of today's press conference......

He wasn't done yet. Alan and Evan had already turned and walked away.

The reporters were not reconciled, and they chased after them to ask questions, until the two men completely disappeared from view.

"What a bastard...... Not at all cooperative! "I didn't get any valuable news, and the reporters complained about it.

"Don't worry, didn't Allen say that the club would give the fans a satisfactory answer in four days? We'll see. The older colleague was smiling happily. "It's been a great summer. It would be nice to be like this every summer......"

When the press conference was broadcast on TV, many Forest fans saw Allen. Adams and Evan. Dogeti and the two looked embarrassed, and they both laughed happily.

At the beginning, everyone may have been a little skeptical, how could the club's top management do such a self-destructive thing?

But now with more and more media reports, the inside story is digging deeper and deeper. No one doubts that these two men are driving Tony away. Donn's culprit is over.

Yes, they used the word "to drive away". Although Tang En himself chose not to renew the contract, after knowing the truth of the matter, no one still thinks that Tang En is responsible. If it weren't for the fact that the club's top brass were unwilling to let go of power and wanted to check and balance Donne. How could Donn not renew his contract? With his eleven years of hard work and countless fans who support him, there is really no need for him to leave.

So, it was the club's hierarchy who drove Don away. There is no doubt about that.

Laughter like that could be heard from the forest bar.

The split bar is gradually healing and now everyone is no longer arguing about Tony. Whether Don En is sorry for them or not, they feel that they are quite sorry for Don En. England fans are like that, dare to love and hate.

Only Bill seemed to be still twisting.

He hasn't been here much lately, and even when he does, he's drinking alone in the corner. If anyone goes up and talks to him, he will ignore him.

That's it today, after he came, everyone was busy watching TV and laughing at the president and commercial director of the club. No one noticed him. He was so happy that he sat down in a corner, and then gestured to Burns behind the bar.

Burns, while instructing his fellow to bring him a drink, said to John next to him, "Here he is again." ”

John glanced at Bill, "I see it." ”

"You're not going to say something? You two are good friends. ”

"He's in turmoil right now, so I'm not going up to join in the fun. In a few days...... In fact, he didn't figure out anything by himself, he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't say anything from others. They're almost fifty, and they're still like children......" John muttered.

Burns laughed out loud when he heard the last sentence: "It seems to me. All the fans. All like children. You did a pretty good job with someone to Wilford in the morning...... Have you ever wondered what kind of response you'll get? To be honest, I don't think the club can possibly publicly admit that it was a mistake for them to let Don go. At least not for this time......"

John shook his head: "I just want to embarrass them and let them know that there is no one in this world who dares to say no to them." Even though that person is the president of the club, we fans can give him the middle finger too! If you don't give us a satisfactory answer. Then every home game, we will use our own practical actions to express our dissatisfaction with the club. In addition......" He was silent for a moment. “…… I guess I apologize to Tony. After all, our people used to boo him mercilessly on the Crimson Stadium, and that boo must have hurt him. If...... I mean, if Tony ever comes back to Crimson, I want to bring someone to apologize to him. ”

"I don't think there's much of a chance. Burns poured cold water on John.

"I think so too......" John said with a sip of wine.

"Those damn journalists!" At the press conference Allen. Adams has always been a shield, but in private, it was Evan who was angry. Dogety.

Alan followed Evan without saying a word.

The two men were walking from the parking lot to Evan's mansion. It looks like a castle estate.

"They want to see us make a fool of ourselves, and they can't let them do it. After a statement on the official website about O'Neill's resignation, he shut up. Wait a few days......"

Speaking of the matter a few days later, Evan stopped. He stood there and was silent.

Allen also wondered what kind of reply the club would have to give to the fans in a few days so that they would not make trouble.

"How are you going to reply to them, Evan?" He asked.

Evan seemed to have made a difficult decision to make, he let out a breath, and then said to Allen next to him: "Aren't we just missing a head coach when O'Neill is gone?" ”

Alan nodded. He didn't know what it had to do with his problem.

"I decided to go to Tony. ”

Alan was taken aback. He suddenly understood. "You're going to find Tony to replace O'Neal? You are crazy? ”

"I'm not crazy, Alan. The best thing to do now is to bring Tony back, only he can manage that team, only he can calm the emotions of the fans. I thought about it for a day, and this was the only solution. ”

Dumbfounded, Alan stared at Evan for a long moment. Only then did he suddenly smile bitterly: "I went around in a big circle, and I went back to the starting point." ”

Evan was silent, he knew it would be humiliating, but he wanted to save Nottingham Forest's future. That's the only way to do it.

"I don't think he will agree, he is a man who will be avenged, we have offended him, he will never come back. Alan thought it was ridiculous.

"I can apologize to him, I can give him the power and freedom he wants, give him the highest salary......" If Evan had said this more than two months earlier, nothing would have happened after that. Unfortunately, not everyone can predict the future.

"What about his contract with the English FA?"

"I'm going to go to London for some activities. Fight for him to be the head coach of the national team ......"

Alan sighed heavily this time and shook his head: "You're really crazy. Then he left Evan alone and walked forward.

Evan wasn't sure if it was the right thing for him to do. But the most perfect thing he could think of was this. As long as Tony can come back and lead the team, all problems will not be called problems, and he will lose some face, but in the long run, he will gain more than he loses.

Don said he could pick up Evan again. Dogety's call, very surprised. So when he saw the name displayed on the screen of his phone. I was stunned for a few seconds before I remembered to answer the phone.

"I thought you had deleted my phone number. And destroy all evidence of my existence, Evan. Mr. Dogetty. Don picked up the phone. They immediately became sharp and sharp.

The caller on the other side smiled wryly. He knew he would get such a "welcome speech".

Ignoring Donn's sarcasm, Evan told Donn what he was trying to do.

Donn's reaction was similar to Alan's, and he asked loudly, "Are you crazy?" ”

"I know it's a bit crazy......"

"More than some? It looks like you're being pushed hard by those journalists. Don scoffed.

"But I'm here to apologize to you, Tony......"

"What apologies?"

"There may be some misunderstanding between us......"

"That's right, Mr. Dogetty. There was no misunderstanding at all. My departure just shows that there is a disagreement between the two of us about football and about Nottingham Woodland, so there is no need to force it to stay there, of course you can't leave the place, so it's just me leaving. That's the way it is, what do you have to apologize for? ”

Hearing Donn say this, Evan began to feel that his method was not working.

"I'd still like you to consider the possibility of returning to Nottingham Woodlands......"

"No need to reconsider, Mr. Dogetty. I have a two-year contract with the FA and I won't be going anywhere in between. He will not return to Nottingham Forest to coach. Donn was absolutely adamant, he really didn't seem to want to go back to Nottingham Forest.

"Your players need you, Tony......"

Don laughed, and even laughed out loud: "You're the king of this team, aren't you?" You start out headstrongly, thinking you have everything in control. Now when you find that you can't take it, you want to find me to go back and wipe your ass? I'm sorry, Mr. Dogetty. I'm tired of this. Good luck and good luck to your Nottingham Forest. ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Evan to say anything more, and hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, he felt a fire burning in his chest, and wanted to find an exit and rush out. So he threw the phone in his hand, and it was thrown against the wall, cracking into countless pieces.

It took him two glasses of water to calm himself down.

When the spring breeze was proud, he decided to abandon me, but when he was anxious, he was embarrassed to ask me for support. Evan, Evan, is your head full of poop? If I agree to your request, what will become of me? Can you just throw away the tools you want? Is it a bitch who can sleep with you just for pay?

I'm sorry, but for me, there are a lot of things that I can get for money, but dignity cannot.

You can lick and wipe the yourself!

Evan was rudely hung up by Donn, and when he called again, he found that he couldn't get through at all.

He sat in his chair, his phone in his hand, and looked out the window at the Wilford training ground.

Ten years ago, the scene of the three of them working together in an Indian restaurant to paint a grand blueprint for Nottingham Forest has been turned into a yellowed old photograph.

The G14s, which were once the target of three men, were disbanded in a deal with UEFA six years ago.

The blueprint they had envisioned had long since been shattered. In that case, why do we have to stay together? Then you go your way, and I'll go mine.

I apologized to you, but you didn't accept it, and I also made a gesture of favor to you, but you refused. From now on, none of us owe anyone, I don't care what happens to you, and it doesn't matter what happens to Nottingham Forest.

You're England manager and I'm the club president of Nottingham Forest. The two of us never had anything to do with each other again.
