Chapter 6 Go? Stay? (below)
Gavin is dead, Michael is gone, and what about himself...... Hanging in the balance. Where did he end up? He looked up and looked around, and then he looked at the blue sky. Having been here for half a year, he could not admit in his heart that he was British, even though his body and instinct had accepted this fact.
Donn saw Gavin's tombstone inscribed with an epitaph: "some'are'dead' and'some'are' living".
He knelt down on one knee and pulled the bouquet of flowers, and found that it was a line of small black letters, which would have been ignored as a pattern under the tombstone if he hadn't paid attention. It reads:
Buried here is Michael. Bernard and Fiona. Bernard's beloved son, Nottingham Forest's most loyal fan, George Brown. Wood's eternal supporter - Gavin. Bernard.
Don was struck by this sentence and held the tombstone with his hand to keep himself from falling. He stared at the small lines, the smooth and bright marble tombstones, as if reflecting a father and son walking out of the stadium, with the red scarves of the Forest team around their necks, the father singing loudly to cheer for the team, and then they clapped their hands together and shouted: "The forest!" Forest! The rough male voice and the immature child's voice were mixed together, and they gradually drifted away...... ※※※ Evan. Dogetty is in his office with new head coach Stan. Collymore was talking about his plans for the new season when he received a call from Donn.
"Tony, I'm glad you called me." He didn't mean to shy away from Collymore.
"Evan, I've decided to stay with the team. But I'm not going to give that Collymore assistant coach. Don's voice came from his phone, vaguely unclear. Evan looked at Collymore, who was sitting across from him, and he didn't seem to hear anything.
"I'll go back to the youth team, but I want you to promise me two conditions: one, my youth team has nothing to do with Collymore's first team, and he has no right to interfere with any of my work. Second, if one day you want to change the manager, please remember to call me first. When you think about accepting, please reply to me again......"
"Wait...... There's nothing wrong with that, Tony! I'll be able to say yes now. As if afraid that Don would change his mind, Evan said hurriedly.
"Thank you, then I'm hanging. Goodbye, Evan. ”
"Goodbye, Tony."
Don put his phone in his pocket, then took out the pieces of paper with the phone number and the name of the club written on it, tilted his head to look at it, and threw it all into a trash can on the side of the road.
Ian. Bowyer has left the club to become head coach of Herford. But what he said Tang Enke remembers clearly:
"Only you can lead the Forest, Tony."
That's right, this team is a team where only I can lead them to victory. Collymore was just a passerby in the forest.
Stan. Collymore, I'm just watching it in the youth team and see how long you can play.
※※※ The trouble about the accusations that Don may face has also been eliminated. The Sanya family did not appoint a lawyer to warn Donn, and he did not receive any court summonses. The media later confirmed that what the fat aunt said to Don was just a momentary anger. Jack. Randy's lawyer advised Don to sue the media who contributed to the incident, spread rumors, and exaggerated the rumors, but Don seriously considered it for a long time and decided not to prosecute for the time being. Having undergone a big change in his life, he now desperately needs to prove himself again at work and get everything back on track.
However, those tabloids made a very strong impression on Donn during this incident, and he will remember their names and then ...... in the future Find trouble with them one by one. You know, Don is a very grudgeful person.
Don, who had determined his own direction, threw all his enthusiasm into his work. For him, it's basically like he's back to square one. After getting to know the first team of Forest, he returned to the youth team and now he has to get to know the youth team from the ground up. Fortunately, Krislak will help him integrate into the team as soon as possible, and Donn doesn't have to worry too much about that.
Instead, he had to be clear about his goals in the youth team - what kind of results he wanted to do and prove it to Evan. Dogotti thinks he's the best manager for Forest, not anyone else.
The first team have resumed training and most of the players were a bit of a surprise when they faced their new manager. They probably don't understand why Tony performed so well in the second half of last season. Don will be replaced by the new chairman for the inexperienced Stan. Collymore.
But this is football, who can tell the story behind it?
Evan succeeded his old man, Nigel. Although he is the chairman of Dogetty's club shares, he does not have absolute power in the club, and many matters in the club need to be decided by the board of directors. This is Evan and his financial advisor, Alan. What Adams hated was that they wanted to transform Nottingham Forest into a modern business, like the Edwards family's Manchester United, but the board was wary of the two Yankees and always got in the way.
Evan has invested half a million pounds into the club to pay off his debts to the bank. After the official start of summer training, he announced that the transfer budget for the season is around £3 million.
After hearing the news, Donn could only sigh that the nymphomaniac's luck was better than his own, if he had given him so much money half a year ago, he could guarantee that the Forest team was now preparing for the Premier League, and he himself would not have been dismissed for not leading the team to promotion.
That's a real deal!
The Forest's youth players assembled two days later than the first team, and Donn was relieved that when he showed up next to the youth team's training ground, he was beaten by David. When Chris Rak was introduced as the new youth team director, the lads were delighted and no one had any objections to that. Don knows his performances in the first team have laid a solid foundation for him now and in the future. He's shown what he's capable of, and now he doesn't need to do anything in the youth team, the lads are going to obey him, he just needs to think about how to lead the team to a good result.
Don didn't really know how he was supposed to coach the youth team, so he was going to move over to the first team - just get good results, and the others were David. Chrislak looked over, believing that nothing was wrong. Originally, the youth team was supposed to develop players and send reserve players to the first team. But Donn didn't want to give Collymore his life, he wished that nymphomaniac had been out of class sooner because of his poor record...... Want to get someone from him? No way!
Wes. After playing a few games for Forest's first team late last season, Mogan returned to the youth team to continue as his captain. With him here with Don, I'm sure everything will go well.
As for George. Wood, Don agreed to stay, partly because he didn't want to see this kid's career die, he knew very well that no one but himself could control that kid now, and if he left, then Wood's fate would be even more difficult to say. He was a firm believer in George. Wood's talent and the attitude he saw with his own eyes on football meant that with a good coach, England would have to be one of the biggest names in a few years – a defensive midfield grinder.
Donn freed Wood from solo training and allowed him to work with the team. He believed that with himself on the sidelines, that kid would also know how to converge. In addition to individual skills, the most important thing in playing a back is teamwork and outstanding awareness, which need to be accumulated by training and playing with the team.
When Donn was back on the youth team, Collymore wasn't idle. He was constantly attending press conferences and this reception and dinner, and it was a wonderful feeling for him to live under the flashing lights again.
He threw a lot of things to Des for the team. Walker came to deal with it, and on the first day of training for the first team, he honestly spent the day on the sidelines. The next day, he was nowhere to be seen, and according to him, he was looking for players to come to Nottingham to bolster his squad for his goal of reaching the top this season.
Maybe......
