Although Donn vowed in his column that George Wood would not go anywhere except for Nottinghamsonson, the media did not believe it, and they habitually believed that Downe must have concealed the truth as head coach. The hype about Wood and Real Madrid continues, but Donn has stopped refuting anything. He said it all, it's too unnecessary to get entangled with the media on this kind of thing.

Just a week later, a shocking news came from Madrid, Spain, that made many clubs applaud - Real Madrid President Perez Florentino announced his resignation as president, and his resignation was directly due to the fact that he had not won three consecutive games since losing at home to Barcelona.

Florentino felt that he had to take responsibility for Real Madrid's depravity, so resignation was the only option.

The real estate tycoon stepped down three months earlier than Donn knew, and he knew that he and his team had played a role in Florentino's downfall, and if he hadn't crossed over, if he hadn't been in charge of Nottingham Forest, then things might have gone as planned, and Florentino was overwhelmed and announced his resignation.

Real Madrid seems to be terminally ill with just the head coach and now the chairman has resigned, but if it really comes to this point, maybe being terminally ill is the best way to do it.

If it is not broken, it will not stand......

Florentino's ouster has indirectly helped Forest get rid of the recent week of transfer rumours surrounding Wood.

Because before the tabloids in England insisted that Real Madrid was interested in Wood, the person was the president of their local club. to enhance the persuasiveness and authenticity of their messages.

It's good now. With the most interest in Wood stepping down, Real Madrid's interest in Wood naturally vanished with Florentino's resignation. There are also people who hype about it, but no one watches it, because everyone thinks it's boring.

Nottingham Forest, who have regained their stable environment, will stand out in the upcoming matches.

Home Stadium Real Madrid. It gives the current Forest team a lot of confidence, and they believe that there is no team in the world that can stop them from moving forward, and of course, it also has to be attributed to Donn's "mental tuning".

In the next two rounds of the league. Morale-boosting Nottingham Forest won at home to Liverpool. and an away win over Blackburn Rovers to keep the pressure on Premier League first Chelsea.

Then, on December 8, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Nottingham Forest comfortably defeated Lille at the bottom of the group at home to join Real Madrid in the round of 16, but they were second in the group with fewer goals.

The match was voted a "great victory" by the Nottingham local media after the game, and it was not a strong opponent who won easily. Rather, Nottingham Forest's success in the next round proves that their rise was not a flash in the pan. They have the ability to prove themselves on a wider stage.

Don was no longer interested in such a victory, he was not one of those Nottinghams who had been nostalgic for the glory of the past, such a victory was just a step in the new long march for him, and if he was ecstatic because of this achievement, then he could not expect anything great.

I'm not just here to make people nostalgic for the past, I want to create an era that is on par with the forest dynasty of yesteryear!

The league continues. While it was no longer news that Chelsea were in the lead, but Tony Downe was honestly on the ground that there was no news, there was a thunderstorm from Manchester United, who had just been eliminated in the Champions League group stage, from a club that had not been expected by any one recently.

More than half a month later than Don knew. It must have been because his coming changed something in the world, subtly, significantly, knowingly, and not knowingly......

December 8th. Manchester United officially announced that the captain of the "Red Devils" Roy Keane has terminated his contract with the club and left the club.

This news shocked many people, and the aftermath spread to the entire British Isles, including Scotland, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, and everyone did not expect Keane's farewell to be so sudden. Because on this very morning, he also showed up at Manchester United's Carrington training base with the team. Prior to this, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson claimed that Keane was not far from full recovery, and some local media also reported that the 34-year-old Irishman had signed a contract extension with the club. All indications are that Flare City lone Fa Kean will retire from Manchester United and become a permanent part of Manchester United.

Then, at noon on the same day, Roy Keith and Alex Ferguson returned to the manager's office together, and the two men had a secret conversation behind closed doors, and no one knew what they were talking about, except that afternoon, the news appeared on Manchester United's official website.

When he confirmed the news three times in a row, the first thing he did was dig out the phone number of Keane's agent, Michael Kennedy, and call to talk about bringing in Keane.

He was not willing to pass up the opportunity to get his hands on this world-class midfield for free.

As stated by the team's medical team, Albertini's physical recovery from a thigh muscle strained at the beginning of the season has not been ideal, and his form is not small from before the injury, and he cannot keep up with the team's current multi-front combat intensity. Downe felt the need to add a midfielder during the winter break, and George Wood had to take that into account as his card percentage began to rise steadily this season

Roy Keane, who has just signed a contract with Manchester United, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Mr. Tony Towne. Kennedy was surprised to receive Donn's call, and although Ian expected a team to look for him, he didn't expect it to happen so soon. You're the first, Mr. Donn."

"Ha, the first one, so are there any discounts?" Donn laughed.

Kennedy laughed too: "I'll have to ask Ian about that, Mr. Donn."

The wait was short, and ten minutes later Don received a call from Kennedy, in which Kennedy told Donn that he would meet at a restaurant in Nottingham tomorrow afternoon, and reminded him that it was an "extremely private" meeting.

Don understands what it means, is this the first place offer?

Don was excited for a long time about this, and he felt a sense of accomplishment at the thought that Roy Keane would become his general.

Like Albertini, watching those famous players in world football play under him one after another, it does feel like a real person.
