The Nods players must have been disappointed as they still haven't won the derby. But Donn's post-match words might have made them feel better.

In his post-game press conference, Done praised Notts County head coach Don, saying he had caused himself a lot of trouble, and he himself hadn't been in trouble for a long time...... This rating is quite high. In fact, Donn is doing this on purpose, and he wants to get the Forest supporters to get familiar with and accept the new manager of the future from now on. Does someone think that Don's ability is insufficient and his fame is not great? It's not a problem, he's looking for his successor, and it's not a beauty pageant. Don's ability is completely fine, you must know that Tang En was "taught" by Tang - the first time I started was to read the notes left by Tang at home. Fame? When he first took over the Forest team, he was also unknown. Anyway, Evan has now given up his unrealistic "dream of being a wealthy family", so why do he have to hire a world-class coach to be his successor? And world-class coaches are still unwilling to live in the shadow of Donn, who are always compared with Donne, how many arrogant and famous coaches can stand it?

And Don himself is also a coach from Nottingham Forest, he is familiar with the Forest team, he has feelings for the Forest team.

All things considered, Don is the most suitable successor and someone the Forest team can rely on for decades to come.

Like Moyes, he is not very famous, but he has been at Everton until now, and has become a name in the history of the Everton team that cannot be forgotten. In fact, Donn's time at the Forest team is really not long, he has only worked for 12 years in total, and for the managers of England, this time is not even estimated to be in the top 20.

If Don hadn't been able to win so many titles, with his 12 years in charge, he would hardly have left anything in world football.

Managers in England coach teams and have different plans depending on how long they have been in charge. Short-term plan, medium-term plan, long-term plan. At best, Donn can be in the medium-term plan, while the Forest need a long-term plan. In any case, Nottingham Forest's current foundation is still shallow, and this foundation does not mean that winning five European Champions Cups is solid, that is useless no matter how many titles are won. It takes time to accumulate foundations, and if you can ensure that you can continue to compete for the championship for 20 years every season, even if you have a little foundation, it is estimated that after a hundred years, it will become a force to be reckoned with in world football, which can be compared with those giant clubs.

Done, on the other hand, didn't have time to lay the foundation for the Forest team, and it was just right that this kind of thing was left to the young and healthy Don to do. All he did was create a glorious history for the Forest Team, which will become a spiritual force that inspires every Forester in the years to come. It can be said that Don creates spiritual wealth, while Don focuses on the material level, and the spirit and the material complement each other in order to make the Forest team gradually stronger. Instead of a brief period of glory like in the Clough era, as Clough grew old, it was like a meteor on the horizon, crossing the sky and disappearing.

Donn would never want to grow old and see the Forest slip into the abyss in the lower leagues.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. The quality of fighting the country and guarding the country is different, Tang En thinks that he is not a talent who guards the country, but he can fight the country with his momentum, it is better to guard the country or need a steady and calm person to do it, which Tang is much more suitable than himself.

That's why he went to Don.

This derby has allowed many people who originally lacked an intuitive understanding of Don to see with their own eyes what Don is capable of, and a team like Notts County can regain its glory under his hands. Wouldn't it be a big deal to switch to a higher-level Nottingham Forest?

Don hadn't told Evan his mind yet, because he knew that Evan was now full of thoughts about how to persuade him to stay for a few more years. At this time, even if he told him about the successor, he wouldn't take it seriously. Don is not worried that his recommendation will not be agreed to in the future, he knows that his influence at the club has been even higher because of this temporary firefight, and he has always had a great reputation among Forest fans. So as long as he nods, then no one will not agree.

As for saying that Tang's surname is not as domineering as himself? Don't be kidding, if everyone in the world is carved out of the same mold as Donne, then the end of the world will come...... It is with such "selfishness" that Don almost never mentions his victory at the press conference, and has been praising Tang in addition to praising the team's performance. This made those Chinese media overjoyed, and they can once again brag to the domestic audience and fans, this time they will definitely not be scolded as a "headline party", because Tang's original words are more fleshy than their headlines!

Tang Du was about to say that Tang En was embarrassed, so he tried his best to be humble, and as a result, such modesty became another reason to praise him in the eyes of those who cared about it.

In this way, this derby, which only comes once in 14 years, ended in a harmonious atmosphere of "hello, hello, everyone".

※※※After the derby, Don didn't contact Don, everyone is an adult and knows what to do. Don continues to coach in his Notts county, but he has already begun to develop a successor. Don, on the other hand, is like a nobody, no longer thinking about the matter of the successor.

January is the winter transfer window, and it's when the major teams have to make up for it. It can be used to make up for the shortcomings of summer transfers, or to completely correct the mistakes of summer transfers. But Nottingham Forest doesn't mean much. Don knows that he will only stay at this club for another half season, and from next season Don will take over in full swing, and from the perspective of long-term thinking and the good of the team, it is best not to buy anyone in the winter transfer period and leave it as it is.

Otherwise, the players that Don likes may not be suitable for Tang's tactical system, and forcibly buying them not only delays the players, but also does not benefit the team's rebuilding work.

There is only one Chen Jian, who Tang En thought would not interfere with Tang's tactical system.

Just because you don't buy people doesn't mean you won't sell them.

As soon as Chen Jian arrived, there were at least four people in the middle of the midfield. The team also doesn't have a multi-line mission, so it's useless to have so many people in the same position. Gago is getting old, and while Done is happy to be back, the Nottingham derby has made it clear to him that his role in this team is getting smaller and smaller. If the boss really doesn't continue to work next season, it's useless to stay for him, and the new head coach will not entrust him with heavy responsibilities, in this case, it is better to go back to Argentina to find a team to retire.

So Gago talked to Donn alone, hoping to clarify whether the boss really only did this half season.

Donn told him that he was really only working for half a season, and that he would leave the team at the end of the season. And he didn't try to persuade Gago to stay, knowing that Gago's departure would be a good thing for the team, as Don would have one less trouble when it came to cleaning up the roster.

Although it is a bit unforgiving to say this, it is necessary to analyze the problem from a rational point of view.

Gago's thought of this issue as well, so he didn't express his displeasure. Instead, he offered to move away from the Forest team at the end of the season.

Another familiar person is about to leave the field of view, but Don is not as reluctant as before. Perhaps after getting used to seeing too many points and combinations, he really looked down on it. Or is it because Gargo hasn't been with him for long?

Gago's leaving, Donn't stay. The other person's situation is that the person is leaving, but Don wants to stay.

Jack. Livermore was originally competing with Gago for the central midfield spot, but most of the time he couldn't compete with the experienced Gago. But he still has thoughts, that is, Gago, after all, is old, and he can slowly become the main force. Unexpectedly, on January 1, Don En actually bought another Chinese to play the same position as him, and was able to get a chance to play in the Nottingham derby and performed well.

This suddenly made him realize that his status in the team was lower than before.

Livermore is a smart guy and he knows the reason he is downgraded is that Donn doesn't like him, otherwise he wouldn't have hoarded four men in the central midfield position. A wise man doesn't hit a stone with an egg, to Livermore he is an egg, and Don is a stone.

The approach of smart people is to leave by themselves, so that everyone can look good and have a good reputation.

So Livermore also had a one-on-one conversation with Donn, and he wanted to make sure that his place in Done's mind was the bottom of the five central midfielders.

Of course, Don won't say directly, "Yes, you have the least status in my mind." "Unless you're a fool or deliberately trying to make the other person angry.

In Donne's plan, Livermore is not useless, at least he is a good substitute.

It's just ...... "I can't accept a substitution, chief." "Livermore is very direct and very straightforward. Don likes this kind of conversation, everyone doesn't play with their hearts, there is one to say one, there is two to say, how good.

"I still hope you'll think about it, Jack. We need enough bench depth. So Don didn't prevaricate him with lies, and told him directly that his position for him was a substitute.

"I'm sorry, sir. When Fernando and George were there, I was their replacement, and now that Fernando is old, he has a Chinese...... I'm twenty-nine, boss, and I don't want to be on the bench until the end of my career. ”

Livermore looked at Don very seriously.

is also pursuing his own interests, and if he says it so frankly, Don will not feel disgusted. Because that's not a bad thing in itself.

Done's consideration for wanting Livermore to be a substitute is simple. In his plan, Wood and Chen Jian will be the main players in the second half of the season, and maybe next season. But with Gago gone, there are only three central midfielders in the team, which is very unsafe. Although I don't know what kind of tactics Don will arrange, it is absolutely impossible to have no substitute in this position.

Livermore is what Donn thinks is the best substitute. His strength is the main force, slightly lacking, and he can't keep up with the requirements. But it's a pity to let it go in vain. So it's best to be able to be a substitute with peace of mind.

It's a pity that the players are not cold data NPCs in the game, they have their own minds, and no one wants to be a substitute. Everyone wants to be an assistant and a hero. However, in a football match, one side can only start eleven, and someone must be a substitute. Such players are role players, they don't have the same star as star players, but they are perhaps the most indispensable type of player on the team.

But Livermore is clearly not such a person.

He simply refused Donn's offer.

In the face of such Livermore, Don was powerless. However, it is easy to find substitutes, and it is really impossible to draw them from the youth team. It wasn't him Don who needed to think about it, it was Don. Thankfully, Donn sold his favor to Livermore and readily agreed to his transfer request, but he hoped that Livermore would not leave in the winter transfer period and finish the season. In return for Donn's readily agreeing to leave, Livermore agreed to his request.

In this way, Don finally left a relatively complete team for the team, and in the second half of the season, on the premise of giving up the FA Cup to specialize in the league, he basically did not have to worry about the large-scale injuries and national team transfer and other factors affecting the complete surname of the squad.

Under such conditions, Don will lead the team to a successful relegation. But deep down, he has a bigger goal – to get the right to compete in Europe.

Donn suddenly thought of his first season at the helm of Forest, which was technically half a season. It took over after the New Year, and the team's results were not good, just like today. It's just that at that time, the team's finances were on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't get a penny transfer fee, so he could only dig into the potential internally and make the best use of the existing resources. In the end, his team fell short before they could reach the finish of the Super League.

It was from that time that he had an unforgettable pain for failure, and he hated failure from the bottom of his heart. That is, from that time on, he could do whatever it took to win.

The situation is similar to back then, except that the reason why he has made little moves in the transfer market is not because he has no money, but because he doesn't want to spend money.

As a result, the similar desire to win has never changed. Don admits that his temper is better now than before, but his competitive heart has never grown old. If anyone thinks that he has transformed into "Mr. Yes...... Don really wished someone thought so, so that he could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...... But does anyone really think so?
