Although he refused the Queen's award, this caused an uproar in the country. However, Done has not been affected by this, he still leads the team to play, and the Crimson Stadium is still full for every home game of Forest, and the media in the Nottingham area still sing his praises every week. The handful of voices against the media did not affect him at all.

The British royal family only expressed regret that such a well-known figure as Don refused to be awarded, and did not say anything more. Maybe they think that with the noble status of the royal family and the general knowledge of a common person, it is really a very cheap thing, right?

But there must be people who are unhappy with Donn's open letter because they feel offended. Tang Encai didn't care what their mood was. Let those who hate themselves continue to hate it.

"Nottingham Forest's ranking has risen from 17th to 14th......"

Xia Yang was holding a newspaper and reading the news of international football.

"Do you still question my choice, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian was sitting next to him peeling apples for himself.

"Hey......" Xia Yang had to admit that in terms of trust in Tang En, he was inferior to the kid next to him. Wins in a few games are nothing short of telling the story. And I've heard that Donn will only coach until the end of the season and will be retiring again. What will you do then? You must know that 'once a son of heaven and a courtier', Ah Jian. ”

"Even if I can only stay at Nottingham Forest for half a season, my value will be higher than now, don't you know, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian lifted the peel of the apple, and the skin of one apple was not broken, but was connected into one. "What's more, maybe the new manager likes me too?"

"Think beautifully." Xia Yang gave him a blank look, but he also hoped for it in his mind.

"What did the club say?"

"Nottingham Forest have made a formal offer to them, but they haven't given any reply yet. I think they are planning to wait a little longer, and when the winter transfer window opens, they hope to attract more clubs to pay attention to you......" Xia Yang frowned as soon as he said this. 'I've leaked the news to the media but I don't think they put enough pressure on the club.

"If I can, I hope to join the Forest team as soon as possible, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang glanced at him: "Then only you went to talk to Manzano in person, Ah Jian." The news in the media will only be seen as chasing after the wind, but the wishes of the players themselves will have to be taken into account. ”

Chen Jian put the apple in his mouth and took a bite, "Okay, I'll go find Mr. Head Coach." ”

※※※Chen Jian went to his head coach Manzano for a showdown, while Don was facing his subordinate Thiago. Silva showdown.

"Honestly, Thiago. The club doesn't need you anymore and if you are able to find a new club on your own after the winter transfer window opens, then the club will be very grateful for the contribution you have made to the team over the years. Donn sat in his office chair and looked at the thirty-three-year-old centre-back sitting on the sofa.

The expressions of both of them were a little indifferent, and Don En had long wanted to get rid of the "Yiba" in the locker room. Now the opportunity has finally arrived.

In the last round of the league, Don implemented a rotation system in a dense schedule. Thiago, who hasn't played since he took office. Silva finally started the game, but his performance was not flattering, and at the age of 33, he was clearly unable to withstand the onslaught of the opposing young striker, slow speed, slow turn, and bounce, and his place became a key breakthrough point for opponents. In the end, Donn had to replace Silva at the beginning of the second half and bring on Sako to stabilize the situation.

Although the Forest team only managed to draw one game in the end, it made many people see Silva's embarrassing performance.

"I hope to fulfill my contract with the club and retire from the Forest ......," Silva said with a blank face.

'If you're willing to leave the club in January, the club will compensate you for the rest of the season's salary. In order to get rid of this man, Don spared no expense, and Evan. Dogeti also obeyed Tang En's words, and he didn't feel sorry for him to pay for it.

"I have a year and a half left on my contract with the club."

Thiago. Silva's words are actually a reminder that the club should and should be compensated for a season and a half's salary. Of course, Don and Evan would not agree to such a request, but at least it shows that Silva is not unable to leave, but that he does not have a price that satisfies him.

Don can only secretly curse Evan in his heart now for signing a three-year contract with a 32-year-old central defender, I really don't know what he thinks...... Hearing that Alan did this, he now wonders if Alan had received a kickback from Silva's agent in the first place.

From this point of view, Evan may not have taken Allen on a whim.

What if Silva insists on fulfilling his contract for a year and a half?

Don said, "Then I'll have a showdown with you, Thiago." From today until your contract expires, I will not put you in the starting list again and I will not put you in the squad. In all games, even in the pre-season games, you don't get a second to play. The team doesn't need you now, you can go back to Brazil for a vacation, you can go somewhere else, I don't care if you come to train or not. But for every time you miss a training session, I'll deduct a week's pay. If you are late for training, I will also deduct a week's pay. What do you think of this condition? ”

Thiago. Silva suddenly changed color - this manager is simply ruthless!

Seeing him change color, Don grinned and laughed silently. He is not afraid to provoke a backlash from his players, as the Brazilian is no better in the dressing room than Balotelli, especially since many of the English homegrown players and veteran players are eager to see Silva suffer.

That's all it takes, and it doesn't seem necessary to talk about it any further. Silva is definitely not going to calmly discuss it with Donn here, and Donn is not going to waste his saliva.

Silva left the manager's office with an ugly face, and Done believed that the next person to find him would be his agent, but he was not afraid. Silva is leaving, so it's best if he insists on staying, and he can be confident that the Brazilian knows who really has the final say in Wilford and Nottingham Forest.

However, Don did not wait for Silva's agent, and Silva was not late for training or absent from training, but worked harder in training. Don thought that the other party was testing him to see if the flowers he said were real or bluffing.

Don was not afraid that the other party would not believe it, so in the following week's doubles, Silva really did not even make the squad.

In fact, Silva was not selected for the squad for two consecutive rounds, and it was not news, so basically the media did not pay much attention to it at first. But then there was news in The Sun about the conflict between Silva and Donn.

Donn could think with his knees that this must have been a good thing done by Silva's agent, and wanted to put pressure on himself? What a joke. Are you still afraid of this?

Sure enough, reporters soon came to the door and asked Donn if the conflict with Silva was true.

Don didn't answer the question head-on: "It's just that he wasn't in the squad for two league games, isn't that a normal thing for a centre-back who is almost 34 years old? I wonder what you're surprised about? ”

As Donn's partner, Evan Brown. Doggetti was at the right time to say: "The club would like to thank Silva for his contribution to the club over the course of four seasons. The club also hopes that he can develop better towards the end of his career. ”

This sentence is tantamount to a euphemism for the club's position - us and Tony. Don is standing together.

In this matter Nottingham Forest Club and Tony. Donn was right, they really didn't need to waste their weekly salary for an old man who basically couldn't play regularly. If the outside world criticizes them for being impersonal, they won't care. These days, how many clubs are really humane? Besides, the human touch is naturally for those who are truly loyal, not everyone can enjoy it, otherwise it is not the human touch, Milan was once considered the most human club, but I don't see them stay with everyone, and they will still drive away a large number of people every year. Professional football is such a world, in fact, it is very cruel...... In fact, everyone in the team knew that Donn and Silva had a conflict, but no one came forward to say anything. Even those foreign players who used to revolve around Silva are now like a plague to him, how far away to hide...... Once in the locker room enough to be able to talk to George. Wood's rivalry suddenly became a betrayal, and he no longer had the capital to continue dealing with Donne. After these two rounds, he was convinced that Don was really the one who could say and do it. I was not selected for the squad in the two rounds of the league, but I just warned that if I had the slightest slack in training and was caught by Donne, I believe it would be a punishment.

It seems that my good life here has come to an end.

Donn finally met with Silva's agent, who came to confirm that if it was true that Silva would leave the Forest team this winter, the club would compensate him for the remaining half of the season's salary.

Donn nodded and promised that they could inform the news media of the incident, and if the club didn't deliver on that promise, Silva could use the news media to get justice for himself.

The rest is simple.

Silva wants to return to Brazil to end his career. The club has also generously stated that the team can terminate Silva's contract early and compensate him for the remaining half of the season's salary. Silva is then free to join any club he wants and who want him.

At the same time, transfer negotiations for Chen Jian are also continuing. The Spaniards offered 20 million, and both Evan and Don thought it was a lion's mouth. Even if Chen Jian is the core of the Spaniards, he is not worth the price. So they deliberately cooled down the negotiations, in fact, they were waiting for news from Barcelona.

A few days later, the local media in Barcelona reported that Nottingham Forest was interested in buying Chen Jian, and at the same time, Chen Jian also found Manzano and had a showdown with him, expressing his desire to leave the team.

As a head coach, Manzano certainly doesn't want his inner core to leave. But he was under pressure from both the club and the individual players. Chen Jian was determined to leave, and even did not hesitate to stop training. The club also hopes to sell Chen Jian in exchange for next season's transfer budget.

In the end, after repeated negotiations, the two sides finalized the transfer fee at 9 million pounds. And Chen Jian has become the most valuable player in the history of Chinese professional football. And he has once again attracted the attention of world football. Of course, it wasn't just him who caught the world's attention, but also Nottingham Forest, who bought him.

Many media outlets don't understand why Nottingham Forest would want to buy a Chinese midfielder with similar technical characteristics and style to Wood, and who is no longer young. But this time, no reporter jumped out to mock and ridicule Donn, and in the face of Donn, who was used to slapping people, they all learned to be patient. The media are all waiting, waiting for Chen Jian to make a fool of himself when he comes to the Forest team.

Donn didn't care what the media thought, it was best if they were confused, because then his opponents would be confused as well.

He is pleased that the transfer talks were finally finalised before the winter transfer window opened. In this way, on January 1 next year, the transfer window has just opened, and Chen Jian can be introduced.

In a phone call to Chen, Don told him the good news: "If you can pass the medical examination, then you will be in time for the FA Cup on May 1." ”

Chen Jian didn't understand why this was good news? If being able to play for his new club as soon as possible is good news, it is also good news for his players, what does it have to do with the manager?

'The fixtures are out long ago and Nottingham Forest's opponents in the first game of the FA Cup this season are Notts County. Tang En smiled on the other end of the phone, "I'll tell you the truth, Chen Jian." My successor will be your compatriot and you will have the opportunity to show your quality in front of him in the FA Cup. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jian understood Tang En's intentions.

He knows that neither Don nor Don is the kind of manager who will only be cronyistic, and there is no doubt that Don will become the manager of Nottingham Forest in the future, just because of Donn's recommendation, no one in Nottingham will ever question the words against Donn. If you don't want to be just a passer-by at Nottingham Forest, you'll have to show your quality in front of the next manager. Wouldn't it be better to show it in front of his eyes in advance than to wait for him to show it after he took office?

This is indeed good news.

On Christmas night, Donn and his daughter Theresa hosted a dinner at their home for George. Wood and Miss Vivian. The year that has passed has been a lot of good news for Donne, and although Sophia left her son this year, Don is now happy to see Wood have a new beginning, a new life that is entirely his own......
