Chapter 17: The Crisis of Two Consecutive Equals (Part II)
Donn, who thoroughly regarded himself as a head coach in his heart, originally wanted to make a name for himself in the transfer market. When he first played the football manager game, he was most looking forward to the two transfer periods before and during each season, where he could chase the players he was interested in, pretend to make a speech that interested him, and then watch the other party "flattered" and "upset", making the opposing coach "thunderous", which is really a different kind of enjoyment. In the end, he brought the players under his tent and made them follow his own arrangement, and said that he was most looking forward to playing under Donne...... However, Chairman Dogetty cruelly extinguished Donn's dream. He told his manager that the club had just recovered from the financial crisis and that it was impossible to give him extra money to invest in the transfer market. So even though it's the winter transfer period, he can only watch other people's homes be lively like the New Year.
Fortunately...... Paul; The lineup that Hart left him is not too bad, except for a little problem with a few lineups, and minor repairs can also be used. Donn sighed, and in the end he was just a tinkerer, like Ranieri. Ranieri was sacked by Abramovic after losing the Champions League in a very stupid way, then he went to Valencia without any results, and then I heard that he went to Serie A to coach Parma, and it seems that he managed to avoid relegation. And after that...... After that, Donn crossed over, not knowing where Ranieri would stand next.
Speaking of Ranieri, Don pondered the time he was in. He found that his memories of world football during this time period were so far away, as if a long, long time had passed, and in fact it was only four years since 2007.
Donn began to collect news from newspapers, magazines, and radio and television, making sure that his time was as close as he remembered. Bowyer's brawl with his teammates in the game was much less affected by his "Forced Door" incident, but it still reminded Don that he was worried that the future would become completely different from his impression, and his crossing would be meaningless.
History – even though it's only been four years, and Donn calls it "history" for the sake of distinction – at a time when Roman Abramovich's ruble army had yet to fully invade English football, you won't see a lot of stories in the newspapers about 'who Abou is', 'how much money Abou has' and 'who Chelsea's next target is'. Leeds United's young guards, who took European football by storm last season, are not yet bankrupt or relegated, and although they have sold a few people, there is still a desire to believe that this team that has blown a wave of youth in English football will perform well this season and beyond. Manchester's darling David; Beckham has not yet left Madrid, Spain, at this time, but the conflict between him and Ferguson has become deeper and deeper, and the war between the spice girls Victoria and Lord Ferguson for Beckham has entered the white heat. This is also a thing that Tang En is very concerned about, and it is estimated that there will be a good show of "kicking the shoes in anger when rushing to the crown, and the master and apprentice will not regret the breakup" in the end. He'll have to see if Beckham will actually go to Real Madrid when summer comes...... In addition, should I write anonymous letters to some newspapers that are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, pretending to be an insider to reveal to them the "facts" that Beckham is going to Real Madrid? He found another job to earn a living, and if he was really fired by the chairman because of his poor performance, he could still make a living by selling gossip to those tabloids and big newspapers, although he could only sell it for four and a half years......
His "Tough Goal" and Bowyer's on-court brawl were minor incidents, not enough to affect the course of the river of time. One or two more things like this happening are nothing. If Donn had turned on the television and newspaper radio six months later and had heard the news that Abou had bought Tottenham Hotspur, he would have seriously considered whether the things in his head that had been around for four years were still useful. Although the Russian was indeed very, very close to Tottenham at one point, close to the point of making an offer from the Tottenham owner, it was a pity that Tottenham owner Daniel; Levy miscalculated the situation, asking too high, with 22.9 per cent of the club's shares at £150 million, compared to his own estimate of £50 million. In the end, the Russians opted for Chelsea, which was cheaper and more well-distributed. The rest of the story is known to everyone on Earth......
As Don gradually recovers from the shock of the time travel, he finds that there is a lot of interesting things about this period. He looked at it with the mentality of a person who had come before, playfully, just as he looked forward to the next season of "Prison Break". It feels really good.
※※※
Six days after the 18th, on the 25th of January, Nottingham Forest welcomed Preston 'North'end, 18th in the league, at their home stadium. Preston also have a game in hand, with just 31 points on their table. This is a 28-round make-up match.
Speaking of Preston, Don is very unfamiliar, but when it comes to another person, Donn is very familiar. That man is the former Preston manager, David, who resigned in March last season to coach Goodison Park; David Moyes, who spent five years at Preston North End as a player, brought the team to League One as head coach after retiring from Preston North End in the 1999-2000 season. Later, he went to Everton, and was a complete success, he became a famous young coach in English football, and there were even rumors that he was going to take over Ferguson's squad to dominate Manchester United, and later the England national team was selected after the World Cup in Germany, and his name was also on the list of candidates.
This man was not the one who discovered and nurtured Rooney, but he was the one who made Rooney known to all of England. He contributed a treasure to England.
After his departure, Preston also fell back into the doldrums, and now the annual goal is to avoid relegation in League One.
Don has a sigh of "the world is so small". Everything you can meet and be familiar with in the lower leagues, the last opponent gave him a glimpse of what Liverpool's five-time champions are like now, and this game gave him the first stop for David Moyes in the dugout. In the UK, where he was not familiar with his life, it felt great to hear these familiar names, and it also brought him a lot closer to this strange country.
Preston North End are not a strong team by any means, they are weak and they are still away. Before the game, the Nottingham Evening Post predicted that the Forest would easily win the game without a manager on the sidelines, and the fans were also full of anticipation for the victory, as was Donn, who sat in the VIP box and watched the game with the two disciplinary committees, and he was looking forward to his first victory after arriving here.
What is the result?
Sixteen minutes into the opening period, David; Johansen took the lead for Forest. The city stadium was filled with jubilation. But just fourteen minutes later, Preston North End defensive midfielder Lee; Lee 'Cartwright equalised from a corner. It was his first goal of the season.
The singing at the City Stadium was cut short by his goal and then resounded before the Forest players raced forward to the ons of the fans and blasted for the Preston North End goal. The poor away manager changed three defensive players in a row and vowed to get a point away from home. Seventy minutes later, he got his wish.
Forest dominated the game, with 64 per cent possession, 14 shots on goal, seven corners and nine attacking free-kicks, which is not a statistic of "offensive football", and only one goal was scored. Preston Instead, they had a woeful four-footed shot and 36 per cent possession, and the only thing they beat the Forest was the number of fouls - 29. No matter how badly they were booed by the Forest fans on the pitch, and no matter how much the fans humiliated them as "turtles who didn't dare to show their heads", they finally became victors and left Nottingham with a smile on the way to relegation.
The result was a huge disappointment for many fans, as was Donn, except that he didn't swear in the box, and his attention was already drawn to something else.
After the game, he heard another sporadic boo from the stands, which was a warning. If the results are not improved, he will lose the hearts of the head coach. Looking at the fans who left the stadium, he frowned, and didn't even shake hands with his "partner" who accompanied him for two games, but Dogetty came out to help them who stood stupidly with their hands outstretched.
At the end of the replays, Forest had 40 points from all 29 league games, level on points with 13th-placed Millwall, and 12th on goal difference. Halfway through the season, such results did not satisfy Donn, who wants to leave something to prove himself in his first season, and there is nothing more suitable for a manager than wins and results.
He decided to give Walker what was on his mind, so he asked Walker to go to Burns' Forest Bar for a drink on the night of the game.
Walker agreed.
