While the British media were sharpening their knives over the fan turmoil and the war of words between the two clubs, Donn was in an Indian restaurant with Evan Brown. Dogetty, Allen. Adams ate unpalatable Indian food together, using a fork and spoon to draw a blueprint for their future.

In fact, after seeing Alan with my own eyes. Before Adams, Donne's only impression of this man was that it was a beautiful stock purchase plan that kept everyone in the dark, himself and Evan's father. So before the two met, he had always thought that Alan should be a fat man with a big belly, a red face, and a sly glint in his eyes, or a Jew or something.

When they met, he found out that the other party actually had a baby face! Her curly blonde hair stuck to her head, and her eyes were covered with freckles. It looked like he was only in his twenties, but Evan introduced him to him. Adams is forty-five years old!

It's incredible...... You can imagine what a forty-five-year-old doll looks like, and you can understand Donn's shock. Fortunately, Alan is used to being looked at like this when he meets people for the first time, so he doesn't care about Donn's faux pas, he is very friendly and takes the initiative to shake Tony's hand: "Tony. Hello, Mr. Donn. Just call me Alan. ”

"Ah, hello. Alan, you can call me Tony, too. Don quickly came back to his senses and stretched out his hand.

Evan was pleased with the first meeting between the two, and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk. "It's an authentic Indian restaurant, what do you want?"

He was answered by two loud sneezes - Don turned his head and hit two in quick succession, so that he drew the attention of the other customers in the restaurant. "Ah...... I hate curry. I'm allergic to this stuff, why do you like Indian food? Don rubbed his nose and said a little embarrassed.

Evan was sitting across from him and looked at Don with a smile, and Alan handed over a tissue.

"Thank you Alan. Next time I'll invite you to Chinese food, it's much better than that! China has a food culture of thousands of years, and it is by no means like an Indian ...... Well, that weird curry is comparable to ......" He was going to say "looks like poop," but soon remembered that it was in a classy-looking restaurant, not the university cafeteria where he could joke with his peers.

"Alright, Tony, I know what you're trying to say...... We all know that you are obsessed with Chinese culture. Evan interrupted Donn with a wave of his hand, and then rubbed his chin half-jokingly. But if you're really going to have a treat, I'll have to consider calling more people......"

"As long as you don't call the whole team......" Donn scratched his head.

"Oh! That's a great idea! Evan turned his head to look at Alan next to him, and the two laughed.

"Spare me, the Chinese food here is too expensive......" Don raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"But seriously, Tony. If you can get the team back to the top this season, I'll personally pay for the whole team to have a lunch. What do you think? Evan said with a smile as he looked at Don.

"From the bottom four of the league to the super ...... in half a season It's a challenge. Donn frowned.

"If I hadn't challenged my last name, I wouldn't have looked for you, Tony." Evan said that Don felt comfortable, yes, he liked the feeling of being trusted.

Then his frown furrowed again, "You're right, Evan. I love a challenge. And...... My plans don't stop there. He gave his free right hand and gave it a thumb out, and then he started to wrench his fingers, "Premier League qualification, UEFA Cup qualification next season, League Cup winner or FA Cup runners-up...... I'm going to take it all. ”

Looking at Donne's three fingers stretched out, and looking at his confident expression, Evan and Alan were stunned, they looked at each other, and then Evan shook his head at Done: "Tony, you're even crazier than I thought." ”

Don liked the expressions on their faces, and he laughed. This in turn attracted disgruntled glances from the guests around him.

Seeing Donne's smug smile, Alan also nodded and said, "Indeed, it's crazier than our plan." ”

Hearing Alan say this, Don stopped laughing, and then asked him, "Speaking of which, what exactly is your plan?" ”

Evan looked at Alan, who coughed and then revealed the mystery to Donne, "Tony, you should know about G14, right?" ”

With a "dang bang", the spoon in Donn's hand slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. This successfully attracted the third "attention ceremony" from the surrounding guests, as well as the "special attention" of the waiters in the restaurant. A dark-skinned Indian man dressed in a red waiter's suit walked up, intending to warn the guest not to disturb the other guests' meals.

But before he could open his mouth, Don leaned over and picked up the spoon from the ground, and shoved it into his hand: "Great, I was about to call you." Can you get me another one? This one fell to the ground. Thank you! ”

The young waiter went back with the spoon very depressed, and Evan and Alan on the other side tried their best to suppress the laughter, they pursed their mouths tightly, their faces were red, and the laughter of "ho ho" seemed to come out of the depths of their throats.

Don knew he had been tricked by these two men together. "I think your plan is called 'crazy.'"

Alan shook the spoon gently, "No, no, Tony. When the G14 was first formed, that organization seemed difficult to get into, but now it's different. The club applying for membership only needs to meet the following three conditions: it must have a long and glorious history, a strong economic foundation and a relatively high status in the current league in the host country. Then if the popularity is better, there will be no problem. We are one of the five oldest football clubs in the world, and we have won two European Champions Cups, a result that Chelsea can't match. ”

Don nodded in agreement. Don't look at Chelsea being rich right now, but why do most people still call them "nouveau riche"? Because compared to their current wealth, their historical achievements are really poor and pitiful. Until now, there are only a few teams in Europe that can defend the European Champions League - Real Madrid (real_madrid), Benfica (Benfica), Inter Milan (f.c._internazionale_milano), Ajax (Ajax), Bayern Munich (fc_bayern_munchen), Liverpool (Liverpool) and Nottingham Forest.

"I didn't expect that, Alan, you know so much about football." While Donn agrees with Allen, he is also surprised that he can talk eloquently on the topic of football.

Alan shook his head: "Tony, you know...... Although I am American, now that I am working for Nottingham Forest, it is natural to learn more about the environment in which I work. It's my own profession. Evan wouldn't hire a fool who didn't know anything about football to work for him, would he? In that case, Evan himself would be a fool. ”

Donn could hear Allen's displeasure in this, so he apologized: "I'm so sorry, I'm just a little ...... Uh, a little surprised. "It just so happened that the waiter brought him a new spoon and helped him out.

Allen shrugged: "It's okay, as an American, you're always asked questions like this in this country: 'God! Do Yankees know football too? I'm used to it. Let's move on, where did we just go? ”

"G14, a glorious and long history." Evan prompted from the side, and then he called the waiter while Alan explained the plan to Donn, and ordered a few random Indian dishes with a very representative surname.

"Yes, Forest have a glorious history and we definitely qualify for that." Alan continued, "And the strong economic base now seems to be as far away as we are from here to New Delhi, but that's what I do. ”

Don nodded and interjected, "You're in charge of making money." ”

"And PR, good popularity requires good PR work. And this kind of PR is not only for the big names in European football, our PR is all-encompassing, but it is very difficult to explain specifically. In short, it's in my scope of work, and it's up to me to do it. As for you, Tony. Alan looked at Don and said, "You're the key to this plan." Strong financial strength, good club finances, and worldwide prestige, with the qualifications of the big guys...... All of this needs to be done first with a condition - a foundation based on excellent team results. You're right, Tony. A team that doesn't play in the top flight of England is unlikely to be favoured by top sponsors or gain a larger market share. A team that can't get honors can't have the opportunity to talk to those giants on an equal footing, want to enter the G14, and want to make more money...... There are no doors. Alan dropped the spoon, shrugged and leaned back in his chair as he finished speaking.

There was a brief silence between the three of them.

Don was fascinated by this great plan. Isn't that what he's always dreamed of? A broader stage, a higher honor, one continuous victory after another, cheers! Bigger cheers! Trophy! More trophies! Bring the Forest back to the top of the world!

He choked on his Adam's apple, his mouth dry from the stimulation of such a fascinating future.

"This ...... Is...... Crazy to ...... No more crazy plans......" he said intermittently.
