With a win over Stoke City in their final game, they beat Chelsea to become the last Premier League side to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season. Tony*#8226; Don has become a news figure who has attracted much media attention. His smug smile has appeared in many media outlets, and his phrase "tell the European guys that your old friends are back" has even become the favorite imitation quote of Nottingham Forest fans in recent days.

But some people rejoice, and naturally some people are lost.

Just the day after the end of the league season, Chelsea officially announced the dismissal of head coach Scolari. The statement thanked Scolari for his contribution to the team and affirmed his achievements - in fact, there is nothing to be sure of, Scolari has not won a title in two seasons under the team. However, the kind words on the surface still have to be said. The statement did not specify the reason for Scolari's dismissal, and Scolari, who left the club, also did not give an interview to anyone, refusing to comment on it.

But everyone knows it. Finishing in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season and missing out on qualification for next season's Champions League was the main reason for Scolari's dismissal. Don't look at Abramovich who has the money to buy a lot of players for Chelsea. But the pressure to be a manager at Chelsea is probably even greater than at Manchester United or Arsenal.

Like Scolari, there are former Manchester City boss Mark #8226; Hughes. Hughes must be well aware of Scolari's mood at this moment – he was sacked by the frustrated Arabian owners of Manchester City at the end of last season, and City have invested a lot of money but have not achieved the results to match it. Playing in the League Cup is their only reward. Mark #8226; Hughes said something after his dismissal, causing a sigh. "I can finally get a good night's sleep," he said. ”

As for Hughes's successor, Kevin ※ #8226; Keegan is still suffering from this position. The reason why he was reluctant to resign voluntarily was just to get the club to terminate his contract so that he could get a lot of compensation. Now, the Manchester City manager's position has become a hot potato.

Chelsea are in a slightly better position in comparison. After all, starting from Hodel, it has been passed down through Gullit, Vialli, and Ranieri. With Jose Mourinho, Chelsea are already a Premier League powerhouse. They are much more attractive to good players and good coaches.

So just fired Scolari. Chelsea have officially announced a replacement -

“…… We've been with Frank ※ #8226; Mr. Rijkaard agreed. He would love to take on the role of Chelsea manager. Mr Abramovich is also looking forward to Mr Rijkaard's delightful football ...... for Chelsea fans."

No one familiar with Abramovich will be surprised by the candidate. Rijkaard, who is currently at home, is indeed the most suitable place for Abramovich's requirements. Think about the art of football he played at Barcelona, and if you want to see beautiful football, then Rijkaard is the best candidate at the moment.

Rijkaard was quick to respond. He accepted the Chelsea Football Club's offer and saw it as a new challenge.

Rumours that Rijkaard will succeed Carlo Ancelotti as AC Milan manager have also been debunked.

The day after the news was announced, Rijkaard appeared in London and officially took office. Some media mentioned this incident in an interview with Don. Hopefully hear what he thinks about Chelsea's new head coach.

Donn wondered: "Why do you want to ask me how I feel about the changes in Chelsea FC? I'm not the head of their HR department......"

The reporter laughed, "But weren't you the one who caused their personnel changes, Mr. Donn?" ”

Donn choked on the question. When he thought about it, it was really like this. If he hadn't squeezed Chelsea from fourth to fifth, Scolari might not have been sacked. After all, this kind of early termination, the club is to compensate the dismissed head coach for the termination of the contract, which is also a loss for Chelsea Club. If it weren't for the fact that the results really couldn't be accepted by Abramovich, who would have nothing to do with firing people?

"Okay......" Donn sighed. I admire what Rijkaard has done in Barcelona. However...... "he thought that he had a personal vendetta against the former Barcelona manager," ...... You must know these things, so next season's Premier League is another topic for you to hype. For me, nothing has changed. My goal is to win and win, and I only care about these two things and the rest...... I don't care. ”

※※※

Although he made bold remarks in front of reporters, this gesture was still regarded by the "Tang Enhei" as "slapping a swollen face and becoming fat". With the current situation of the Forest team. To be able to guarantee a top four finish in the league every season is a great result. Don is a guy who wants to win the championship......

If you want to make a big difference in the new season, it's definitely not enough to rely on these people now. Nottingham Forest will have to look for players from the transfer market who can strengthen their squad.

It takes money.

Donn knows the team doesn't have a lot of money to spend on him right now. But he still plans to bite the bullet and go to Evan, hoping that he can give him more money......

He thought it would be difficult, but it came out as a surprise.

"I decided to put plans for a new stadium on hold indefinitely until the economic situation improves." In the office of the club president, Evan ※ #8226; Dogetty smiled and said to Don with a surprised face. "So now there's money to buy you people."

"Allen...... You know? "Don's first thought was not joy, but Alan*#8226; What would Adams think.

"That's what he proposed." Evan laughed, "And our plans for a huge new stadium need to be revised...... In a word. These things give him a headache. Tony. You just need to lead the team to achieve results. I've watched the interview about you, and I hope you're not talking about it. He stepped forward and patted Donn on the shoulder.

"Yes. Champion...... I never talk about it, and it won't help me win a championship. How much budget are you going to give me for the new season, Evan? He asked the most crucial question.

"How much do you need. Tony? ”

Donn pondered for a moment.

Every summer the team is interested in a few of the players in their squad, but it's always just those guys. He wouldn't consider selling. For example, George ※#8226; Wood, Gareth ※#8226; Bell and Pepe.

If you want to expand your strength this summer. Then basically, you can't sell the team's pillar players. And Don can accept in his heart that those players who sell this reality can't actually sell for a few dollars, so it is unrealistic to expect to sell the ball in exchange for transfer funds. Now the team's weakest relief is in the forward line and in the midfield. Ruud van Nistelrooy has returned to the team and he has been offered a new two-year contract, but the salary is much lower than his previous contract, which is the price......

He's recovering well and can play again for the team. But no one knows what the state is.

Niklas※#8226; Milan and Victor ※ #8226; Moses was still young and still needed exercise. In the new season, the Forest team will play on two fronts. The team has a rotation system. They don't have to worry about their chances. The only concern is whether their ability to keep up with the demands of the European arena. Now it seems that Milan may not have much of a problem, and Moses still needs to be honed.

As a high-school striker, Zhikic will certainly occupy a place in the Forest team, and although his performance is not eye-catching, it is very practical.

Abonlaho's speed is Donn's new weapon, and his presence can make the team's style of play more varied.

Needless to say, Eastwood, last season was his best season since his debut. As long as you don't get hurt. He must be the team's starting goalscorer, and he and Ruud van Nistelrooy are also the most experienced players in Forest's front line to play the Champions League so far.

However, such a forward strength is still not enough, and a forward of sufficient level needs to be supplemented.

What about the midfielder...... George ※#8226; Wood and Lennon are trustworthy players, but Lennon is the only one on the right flank, and last season the team only had to focus on the domestic league, so naturally there was no big problem. Now you need to fight on two fronts, and after that, you can't hold on to the whole season.

Shaheen is doing well. After a season of training and grinding, he has improved. Being re-called to the Turkish national team may be proof of this. Thiago ※ #8226; Mendes is also a rotation player for the team. John※#8226; Bostok Donn wants to loan him out for a year, he still needs to hone his skills, and Adriano *#8226 will also be loaned out; Mock.

Chris※#8226; Cohen's performance was decent and a good addition to the midfield line-up. He will definitely stay too, and he will not have a shortage of opportunities to play on both fronts.

Petrov Donn was going to sell him. On the one hand, the Bulgarians are old, not as fast as before, and their form is gradually declining; On the other hand, it is still necessary to hurry up and show up - it is said that Hoffenheim, the number one dark horse in the Bundesliga in the first two seasons, has taken a fancy to him and wants him to go to Germany to play his spare heat. Petrov is now thinking about it, after all, he made a name for himself in the Bundesliga. It's not strange to go back now.

That's it. The two wings of the midfield continue to be supplemented with quality players.

There aren't as many worries at the back. Leighton ※#8226; Barnsgareth※#8226; Balte has been consistent and Barnes had a few appearances last season. But with the new season just around the corner, his chances are only going to be greater.

Raphinha has developed at right-back, and his sharp attacking and aggressive back-to-back play on the flanks has cemented him as Forest's number one right-back. There are many teams interested in him now, but Don will not consider selling.

Zim Bonda is a special case. He was thirty-one years old, and from a few years ago Don wanted to find the right person and let him go. But until now he has stayed in the team and has done his duty. When he needs to play, he will give it his all, and he will not complain about playing on the bench. He was instrumental in qualifying for the Champions League last season. At right-back, he defends much better than Raphinha. When Donn needed the team defensively, he was more trustworthy than the Brazilian. Donn has also rediscovered the Frenchman's worth – he's not a star player, but he's the kind of "role player" that no team can't need. They have their own roles and their own responsibilities. They are the foundation of a team. Donn needs such "role players". This summer. The club are in talks with his local agent for a new four-year contract. Once signed. It's almost a lifetime contract: four years later, Zimbonda is over 35 years old and can almost immediately consider retiring.

Plans to build a new stadium were put on hold, and a trip to China to find sponsorship was unsuccessful. Tang En decided to put Sun Jihai on the transfer market, whether it is a Chinese club, or a Championship or League One club, as long as he can afford it, he will sell it. Although it is no longer possible to sell for a high price now. There is also a big gap from the four million pounds that bought him at the beginning, but if you wait another year and Sun Jihai is free to transfer away, the club will not get a penny.

In terms of central defenders, Pepe is the main force that cannot be beaten. Unless he's injured, he must start. Vincent Kompany and Woodgate will be rotational centre-backs for the new season. After all, Woodgate's body is not as strong as Kompany's, and minor injuries and illnesses are slightly frequent. Weiss ※ #8226; Mogan is a great addition. But playing in Europe, Mogan couldn't count on it.

Five centre-backs are enough. More is wasted.

Young left-back Joe #8226; Mattok struggled to settle into his new position last season as a centre-back. He will be put on loan for the next season.

"About fifty million, I think...... Pound it. Don made a quick mental estimate and gave an approximate figure.

Evan frowned, "It's not small, but I'll figure it out......" The frowning expression only appeared for a few seconds, and he smiled again, "Let's go have a happy holiday with Shania." Don't think about anything. I'll let you know when the money is settled, Tony. Where are you going? ”

"China." Don shrugged. "It's also my ...... to visit Don's parents Parents. Also, I have a commercial contract for endorsement there that I want to negotiate. ”

Hearing Donn mention "China," Evan was reminded of his trip to China in the summer of 2008. At that time, Nottingham Forest had just defended the Champions Cup and won the double that season. Everywhere they went, a red storm was set off. It's a great feeling to watch fans and businesses in East Asia bow their respects. It's a pity that it's all gone now. Allen ※ #8226; Adams ran in China for almost half a year last season. When the companies heard that they were going to throw money into the new stadium, they all shook their heads. Lamenting the economic crisis, how difficult the current affairs are, and there is no money in hand. The rich and wealthy are all state-owned enterprises, and even if someone wants to invest in the British real estate market, they dare not act rashly because of their status.

Later, some people in the UAE proposed that they could inject capital, but not into the stadium project, but into the club, which was equivalent to a disguised acquisition. Evan flatly refuses – even if he sells Nottingham Forest, it's not now. Now the other party can unscrupulously lower the price, and the fool will sell it.

Evan ※ #8226; Dogetty was stunned for a moment, and found that Don was still standing in front of him. So he smiled apologetically, "Have fun, Tony." If possible, bring me and Alan some Chinese gifts......"

Don nodded: "Then I have to put some thought into what gifts to bring in order to satisfy you." ”

"Haha, don't bother! Anything goes. We're not kids waiting to rummage through our socks at Christmas. ”。.。
