Godfather Of Champions

Wood no longer talked about his plans to retire in front of interim head coach Greenwood and club president Evan Daugherty. Faced with questions from many reporters on this issue, he also kept silent, as if nothing happened. The same.

This made Evan let out a sigh of relief.

In any case, the current crisis is over. But Evan Daugherty did not feel relieved. Successive failures, coaching changes, and rumors that Wood is about to retire, these things are raging, and the Arab consortium suddenly changes its mind. They did not express that they would completely terminate the negotiation activities for the acquisition of the Nottingham Forest Club, but they have obviously slowed down the pace of acquisition, and they are venturing out, hoping to buy the club at a lower price.

This is obviously something that Evan Daggerty did not want to see. During this time, Alan Adams was often scolded by the club chairman who was getting worse and worse. Although they had previously had a co-founding friendship, but decades have passed, that friendship has long since faded, not to mention that such a major event cannot be handled as the most trusted person around Evan. Are you angry?

Since Tony Dunn left, the only person Evan Daggerty can rely on in the club is Alan Adamsler. But now Allen's performance has made Evan suspicious-maybe he can't rely on this person anymore.

Tony Dunn did not return to Los Angeles just because Wood honestly went back to training and competition, because the matter was far from resolved. And when Wood went to work, he should stay and take care of Sophia, as he should do it in reason. Although there is Miss Vivienne, the only person who can talk to Sophia is Dunn.

So Dunn called Shania and told her that she might not be able to come back during this period. If she is not too busy after her work, she can come to Nottingham. Shania heard that Sophia was in a very bad condition, and made a special call to greet Sophia. As for Dunn's request, she naturally agreed without any second words.

Originally, Dunn sneaked back by himself, and no media knew about it. But after staying here for a long time, the ubiquitous media can smell him even with his nose. So within a few days, photos of Dunn entering and leaving the hospital appeared on the sports pages of several newspapers.

Just one day after the news of Dunn's return to China appeared in the papers, he welcomed a special guest in Sophia's ward.

Nominally, Evan Daggerty came to visit Sophia on behalf of the club, hoping that she would recover soon, but in fact he came to Dunn.

"When did you come back? Don't let me know when you come back?" In the reception room outside, Evan Daggerty looked familiar with Dunn.

Tang En smiled slightly: "Two days ago, I was too busy to take care of it. Didn't you come here by yourself?"

Two people face each other for the first time after four years, and the sordidness of the year seems to have faded away. At the very least, on the surface, outsiders can never see that they have been enemies for each other.

Then the two people talked about it, not talking about football, not talking about the dilemma the club has faced recently. Later, when there was nothing to talk about, Evan Daggerty left.

Dunn sent him to the door of the ward, but did not continue to send him. As soon as Evan left, he returned to the ward and sat on the sofa in thought.

According to his understanding of Evan Daugherty, no matter where he goes, he will always take Alan Adams with him. But this time, he came to the hospital to "visit" Sophia alone. Although Evan said that the reason Allen did not come was only that he was in charge of negotiating with the Arabs, but now even the tabloids know that the Arab consortium has temporarily stopped the negotiation plan and returned to the UAE, saying that they have to reconsider. Bid to Nottingham Forest Club. Obviously in their minds, such a bad club is not worthy of Evan Daggerty's offer. No matter how brilliant its past is, it is useless. Merchants always care about the present and the future. They don't care about the past. If you cannot bring them benefits now, then you have no value in their minds. If your future appreciation space is narrow, your position in their minds will further decline.

Everyone now knows that the acquisition of Nottingham Forest has reached a deadlock, but the fans of the Forest team do not know what they should be feeling. They are tired of the club chairman who once brought them countless honours now incarnate as a jumping clown. But they also don't want to give their club to a group of Arab bearded people who don't understand football at all and don't understand English football. Look at Manchester City. A mercenary piled up on money is nothing but a toy for those Arabs.

As one of the oldest clubs in the world, how can it be reduced to that point?

If Nottingham Forest is a team like Notts County, fans can initiate fundraising and buy the club themselves. However, Nottingham Forest has a long history and a brilliant record. It cannot be successfully acquired only by donations from fans. Tony Dunn earns a lot of income every year. Even so, all his savings are not enough to buy the club, unless he can find a more powerful consortium to invest, but he has not had much contact with the brokerage industry, and he is not interested in this aspect. Evan Daugherty offered the club a price of £1.2 billion. The media ridiculed Evan as the Lion’s opening. Nottingham Forest Club has 400 million debts. If this part is removed, the club’s market value is at most £500 million. It is said that 900 million pounds is a reasonable price for the acquisition. However, the Arabs were ruthless enough, directly pushing the price to 600 million pounds, 400 million used to repay the debt, and the remaining 200 million was the actual value of the Nottingham Forest Club in the eyes of those Middle Easterners.

With such an offer, it’s no wonder that many Nottingham Forest fans have no good feelings about the Arab consortium—for a team that has won the European Champions Cup five times, the actual value of 200 million is an insult. Therefore, the fans of the Forest team are tired of Evan Daggerty's "sell farce" every season, and on the other hand, they don't want the Arabs to be in the club.

Dunn's thinking continued.

Originally, Alan Adams was Evan Daugherty's most trusted left-hand man, and he was also given full authority to negotiate with the Arab consortium. In the Nottingham Forest Club, which is not a listed company for a long time, it can be said that besides Evan Daggerty, the most powerful person is Alan Adams. But now Alan did not come with Evan, Dunn was very concerned about this matter.

Does this explain a certain attitude of Evan?

Thinking that Evan Daugherty is actually a person with a desire for power, Dunn felt that this time he came here alone is definitely not what he said, Allen is "ridden with business."

It seems that there must be something brewing inside the Nottingham Forest Club...

But what does that have to do with me?

Dunn shook his head and stood up. He decided to go for a walk. Since his identity has been exposed, it doesn't matter. I just went to see those old friends in the forest bar.

If Wood had seen "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he must have known the allusion of "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han". Because his current situation is a typical "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han". Although she returned to the team and devoted herself to training, her mother's condition did not get better and she was still very weak. This week I was even admitted to a sterile ward, which is a sign of worsening illness.

Under such circumstances, how can he stabilize and devote himself to training and competition? After all, Wood is also a person of flesh and blood and emotion, not a real piece of wood or a robot killer from the future world. Although he promised his mother to return to the team, his emotions could not be controlled by the mother. He wanted to miss his mother. Sophia couldn't say not to let him miss.

Greenwood was also at a loss. He was not a master of psychological adjustment, and Wood would not listen to him. There may be only one head coach in this world who can make Wood bow his head, but that person has retired.

The teammates are also helpless. No one can ask Wood to put his mind on football at this time and set an example for the captain, because they don't have the position to do that. As Wood’s only family member, his mother is lying in a sterile ward of the hospital at this moment, and may face life danger at any time. What they should do is to persuade Wood to temporarily put down football and take care of his mother instead of asking him. Set an example on the training ground and on the court, playing football regardless of family affection. For these professional players, football is a job, no job can be bigger than their family.

But once Wood makes a decision, there is basically no room for others to interrupt. Therefore, even Wood's best friend "Little Monkey" Bell, could not persuade him to go back and take care of his mother.

The subsequent UEFA Cup game was the first game after George Wood returned to the team. As a result, he did not perform well in the game. He was still active in running, but it was a bit like a headless fly, running around, let alone organizing offense. And defensively. Nottingham Forest's tactics are centered on George Wood. Wood's performance is not good. The team is like a mess and there is no way to organize.

In the end, Nottingham Forest lost to Sporting Lisbon 0-2 at his home court.

In the next two days later in the home league, Nottingham Forest played against Fulham. George Wood's performance still hasn't improved, but Greenwood changed his tactics and did not continue to make Wood the core, but instead made Balotelli the core of the court, and the offense revolved around him. With Balotelli's outstanding performance at home, the team defeated Fulham 2:1, and finally stopped the downward trend.

But the good times didn't last long. Nottingham Forest lost to Newcastle again in the league next week. This time Balotelli is no longer useful as a core, because freezing a forward is much easier than freezing a midfielder...

Nottingham Forest's ranking temporarily stopped in the last round of the league and continued after losing to Newcastle. Lost 1:3 to Blackburn, 0:1 to Tottenham Hotspur...By the end of October, the Forest team's ranking had dropped from the original tenth to the fourteenth. Throughout October, apart from defeating Fulham 2-1, they never won a game or even a draw. They played five games in October, but they only scored three points.

What caused Evan Daggerty to be more scorched is still to come. He only led the team to play four games, but Greenwood, who lost three games, felt that he was not suitable for coaching the first team, so he lost to Tottenner. Mhotspur later took the initiative to resign to Evan Daggerty, hoping that the club president can agree to his resignation as the head coach of the first team and continue to return to coach the youth team.

How could Evan Daugherty agree, knowing that he can no longer find a suitable head coach. But his ability to retain the enemy was not the strong will of Greenwood, and eventually he had to agree to Greenwood's resignation as the acting head coach of the first team.

Next, Evan Daggerty had to appoint Freddie Eastwood as the interim head coach to manage the team. On the other hand, he stepped up his search for a suitable head coach.

But in fact, if Eastwood had a choice, he definitely didn't want to take over the hot potato. On the one hand, he feels that he has not reached the level of being a head coach. On the other hand, it is naturally because the current Nottingham Forest is simply a coaching black hole. No matter how famous and capable head coach comes, he can only lose his reputation and fail.

Finally, Eastwood frowned and took office. At the press conference, he did not show the joy of being promoted to the head coach at all. Although the fact of being able to coach his former teammates is interesting in itself, he did not have the mood to make such a joke. Faced with reporters' questions about the team's performance and prospects, he only expressed his hope that his performance would live up to the trust of the fans and the club. Apart from that, he didn't say a word, and the atmosphere at the press conference was somewhat cold.

After the press conference, many media said that the prospect of Nottingham Forest is still not optimistic. This time they did not deliberately oppose Nottingham Forest, deliberately black Nottingham Forest. They are telling the truth, even if they are replaced by the most hard-core Nottingham Forest fans, they may only be able to make similar decisions.

"It seems that Evan Daggerty should revise their goal this season-not to reach the UEFA Champions League finals, but to retain their qualifications to participate in the Premier League..."
