After a night of apprehension and longing for Shania, the next morning Don finally received his first good news in all these days.

Des. Walker called him and said he had agreed to join England's coaching staff as an assistant coach.

Don was so excited that he even clenched his fists on the other side of the phone.

The assistant contest is done, and the rest is easy. The English FA recommended for him, there are excellent physical coaches, ordinary coaches who are familiar with English players, and now he goes to find a goalkeeper coach, and the coaching team is built. England's goalkeeper coach Donn doesn't trust it, England haven't produced a good goalkeeper for many years, and this obviously has something to do with their lack of good goalkeeper coaches.

Goalkeeper coach Donn has locked on two countries, Germany and Italy. Perhaps he could go to the former goalkeeper coach of the England national team, the Italian who followed Capello and then followed Capello Tankneri.

However, this kind of thing is obviously not as urgent as finding an assistant coach.

While Donn is worrying about his coaching team, Nottingham Forest is also undergoing a sea change.

Martin. O'Neill wants to keep Nottingham Forest's treble winning squad as much as possible, then sell the irrelevant players and add some better people to bring in, and the team will still aim to compete for the title.

Evan has already told him that the money to buy the player is not a problem. Today, Nottingham Forest does not have the debts of that stadium and still has plenty of money at their disposal.

O'Neill's treatment is Tony. Don never enjoyed it.

He thought about it for a few days and finally gave the list to Evan. Dogety. Evan, who was holding the list, was shaking his head at his buddy Allen: "Martin thought he could completely control this team. I really don't know if he's overestimating himself or underestimating Tony. ”

"How?"

"The people who sell are all substitutes or veterans of the team. Basically, the main structure of the team has not moved. Evan gave the list to Alan.

Alan looked at it and laughed: "He's just thinking about it from a coach's point of view. For a team to have results, of course, try to use players who have proven their quality. ”

"If the locker room is messed up, the championship team won't work." Evan snorted.

After Donn left the Forest team, although he did not bombard the club in the media, Evan was relieved. But the players obviously don't believe that Don left the team because he had too little money, and there are many descendants of Don in the team, and their agents are moving around. Evan knew what it meant, the backbone was gone, and it was strange to be able to keep those people. Otherwise, why would he ask O'Neill to draw up this list? Rather than having your agent contact the team and then let me know, I should be proactive so that the loss can be minimized.

"Thiago?" Allen saw the name on the list, then looked up at the ceiling, trying to match the name with the faces on the team. "The Portuguese? Even if he doesn't change coaches, he should leave, right? He's too old. ”

"That's why I said O'Neal still wants to continue to use the team that Tony left behind."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

Allen looked down at the list again, and compared to a player like Thiago, he cared about only one person the most. That person can't be sold anyway, and he and Don have a common language in this regard.

"George's side...... What's the situation? ”

There was only one George at Nottingham Forest, and Evan knew who Alan was asking.

"I don't know." He shook his head. "Mr. Woods hasn't contacted me."

There was a sudden silence in the office. They all knew what status Wooks was, and Don could fight against Woolks because he had a lack of strings in his head. The two of them didn't want to offend this old man who had great energy in the British upper class, although his surname was not normal, but this was not a scandal among the British upper class gentlemen.

"He's not short of money." Alan muttered to himself, as if explaining the matter, and as if comforting himself.

"He's not short of money, but George needs it."

"I don't think George's loyalty ...... should be doubted"

"Here's the problem, Alan." Evan got up from his chair, walked over to his desk and sat down. "Is George loyal to the club, or is it ...... Tony. Dawn? ”

Alan looked up and looked at his old friend with his mouth open. After being stunned for a while, he said: "He went to the England team, it doesn't affect anything...... At least we don't have to worry about him running to Manchester United and then coming back and digging into the corner. ”

Evan didn't know if his fears were right, and he didn't say anything.

"I think it's better to give George a new contract and raise his weekly salary just now. Although he has three years left on his contract, we are trying to keep him retired from the Forest. ”

Evan looked at Allen, who said this. 'We only signed him a new contract last season...... And he's now nearly the highest paid person on the team. "When it comes to spending money, Alan is sensitive.

"Then give him the highest weekly contract in the Premier League!" Evan decided.

Alan opened his mouth and said nothing.

Wood looked at the old man sitting in front of him, his inconspicuous agent Billy. Mr. Witches.

"What are you thinking about, George?"

Wood shook his head, "I'm not going." ”

"They promise you the highest annual salary, the best bonus."

"I have enough money."

"It's a big club that's many times better than Nottingham Forest, and compared to them, Forest is a country team." Woods said with a smile, not taking Wood's cold attitude to heart in the slightest.

"Do they have more European champions than us?" Wood asked.

The question made the smile on Wooks' face disappear for a few seconds, and by the time it came back to Wooks' face, it had turned into a laugh: "Haha! George, that's a good question! If you ask in front of Laporta, you can make that Catalan half angry...... Haha, I didn't expect you to learn to sarcastic too. ”

Wood didn't react to Woods' laughter, and he continued to say with a cold face: "I'm not going anywhere but Nottingham Forest." ”

"Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan, Manchester United, Arsenal...... You don't think about the call-ups of those teams? ”

Wood nodded: "I have three years left on my contract with the team, and I won't be going anywhere until then. ”

Wooks smiled: "You'll be thirty-one years old in three years, and it's hard to go anywhere you want." ”

"That's better, I'll retire from the Forest team."

"Hey, George. Tony's guy isn't here anymore, you don't have to keep this club. Do you know? It won't be long before all of you who have won the Champions Cup together will be going their separate ways. Your familiar coach is gone, and your familiar teammates are gone. Why should this team stay? ”

Wood was silent for a moment, as if digesting Woods' words. Then he said: "Professional players always have to come and go, I can't decide this. They have their reasons and powers, but I don't want to leave here. ”

Woods leaned back on the couch and stared at the stubborn player instead. "I wonder why you're doing this. Your mother? ”

"It has nothing to do with my mom, it's my own decision."

"Why?"

Wood was silent for longer this time. Wools didn't rush, he put some sugar in the coffee in front of him, and stirred it gently with a small spoon.

Just as he was concentrating on the coffee, Wood's voice rang out, "I don't want to be like that." ”

Woolks stopped what he was doing and squinted at the coffee cup as if there was something in it.

His mind was only out for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he pulled out his phone and began dialing the number.

"Hi Santi. I have a couple of absolute inside information here, are you interested? Okay, okay......" Wooks nodded, "I'll pass it on to you." But not now...... I? I'm having coffee with George, this coffee isn't good, I'll never come back again...... Okay, okay, you're busy. Good bye. ”

Wool put away the phone and looked at Wood, who was looking at him inquiringly.

"Call a friend from the media and tell him there are a lot of clubs interested in you. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Juventus...... There is also England's traditional semi-final, as long as it is a team with a little prestige in European football, it is all listed all over again. ”

Wood was in a hurry, and he leaned forward, as if to settle accounts with Woods: "Didn't you say to respect my will?" ”

"Calm down, baby." Wooks gestured for his ass to fall back onto the couch. "When have I not respected your will, my dear? But since you don't let me take the transfer fee, take the signing fee. I'm going to have to find a way to take some of your paycheck. He placed the gold-rimmed glasses on the table in the box, which was a signal that he was ready to go.

'Don't do anything, if the media interviews you in the next few days, don't say anything but reaffirm your loyalty to the Forest team. If they ask you can't tell me, let those flies come to me. He reached out and patted Wood lightly on the cheek, "Then you wait for a high-paying contract." ”

"I only signed ...... last year"

"They are willing to send money, how can there be a reason to refuse? To celebrate your soon-to-be-become the highest-paid player in England, you've got this cup of coffee. Next time we want to talk about something, let's go to your house, your mother's black tea is delicious. Wools slipped the case into his pocket and stood up. Goodbye George, and I hope you won't regret your decision today. ”

The dashing old man walked away from Wood, pushed open the coffee-colored glass door and walked out of the café.

Wood continued to sit in his place, turning his head to see Woods in the gray Bentley parked on the side of the road and disappearing into the traffic.

While Wood was still drinking coffee with Woods, Alan had flown to Portugal to negotiate Thiago with Benfica. Mendes' transfer contract. Thiago will return to Benfica from Nottingham Forest for £6 million and, barring any surprises, he will play there until he retires.

In another ironic and unexpected piece of news, Real Madrid has taken a fancy to Brazilian Pepe, the core of Nottingham Forest's centre-back. Just over a month ago, he gave a hard lesson to the Real Madrid players in the Champions League final, which caused angry condemnation in the Spanish media. If he did go to Madrid, it was hard to imagine how the media would have turned their minds around and sang his praises.

Last season, he scored 11 direct free-kicks in all competitions, and Gareth, a powerful left wing-back. Bale has also been lured by big teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Manchester United have even offered Bale £20 million for Nottingham Forest to release him.

Known as England's centre-forward for the next decade, Aaron. Mitchel has also been rumored to be involved with a number of clubs. The most well-known team inside is AC Milan.

Nuri. Shaheen looks set to leave Forest for Bayern Munich. Of course, Atletico Madrid are also pursuing the Turkish national team's main midfielder.

When Donn was there, Wes, who had been the team's third captain. Mogan is also confirmed to be leaving, and his new team is promoted Malize United.

Bentley is being seduced by Manchester City.

There are also rumours that Fernandez is disappointed with the club and wants to return to Spain to play.

Gago could go to Inter Milan or Juventus.

Jose Mourinho has been unhappy with Manchester United's goalkeeper since he took over and is urging the board to agree to add Russian international Akinfeev to buy Nottingham Forest.

When the summer transfer window in European football officially opened on July 1, countless transfer rumours about Nottingham Forest players appeared in various media outlets. They come in like a tidal wave, dazzling the eyes of those who look at them, so that people can't distinguish between the real and the false.

There was panic in the hearts of every Forest fan who was worried about Toney. After Donn, the strongman coach, was gone, his team was divided among the other powers. When they got together to chat at the bar, some blamed it on the club's incompetence and inability to retain the decorated coach. But more fans believe that the blame lies with Tony. Don comes to the minus.

Although Don brought countless joys to these people when he was there, his sudden withdrawal from the happiest time is still considered an unforgivable betrayal by the majority of fans. Don has not explained why, and the fans' misunderstanding of him has become deeper and deeper.

The man who was once known as the "King of Nottingham Forest" seems to be facing a "betrayal" – the club directors don't miss him, the players he has brought together are about to be divided among the powers, and his supporters are now suspicious and disgusted with him. Is there anything worse in the world than this?

While Donn was still looking for a coach for the team, the FA informed him that he had to lead the team to a game.

"But I haven't decided on all the coaches yet." Done was unhappy with the FA's decision. "Not to mention the players."

"Don't worry, Mr. Don. It's just a friendly match, and players can use the same team from the World Cup. Winning or losing this game will not affect our evaluation of you. "The FA officials are official.

"There are no such surprise attacks in the contract." Don was still a little upset.

"Actually, Mr. Donne...... The game is set before you take over as head coach. The official said.

What else could Don say? Who made him the slowest man to assemble a coaching staff in England's history?

"Well, tell me about the opponent. Where do we play? Wembley or going abroad? Don pulled a sticky note, intending to write it down, lest he forget about it because of too much mess lately.

"No need to go abroad, Mr. Donn. Right in Nottingham, on the Crimson Court, the opponent is Nottingham Forest. The officer tried to make his voice sound normal and not hold back a laugh. But he failed.

"Huh?" Donn's hand stopped, he didn't care about the official's playful laughter, just looked at the sticky notes that wrote "Nottingham Forest, Crimson Stadium" in a daze.
