Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 102: Volume 2 A handshake in the sky of Nottingham (Part 2)

"Sounds really exciting. So... I don't have to worry about someday the club will not be able to pay players, nor do I have to worry about Mr. Chairman saying to me when the transfer market opens,'Tony, I'm so sorry we are so poor now. Sounds, so you can only go to the free transfer market to see if there are any bargains, right?" Dunn said in imitation of old Dogetty's tone.

"Of course...no need." Evan laughed loudly.

"It's great. Keep those eight million and wait for me to use it." Dunn rubbed his hands, excited like a child who got all the gifts for Christmas. Lord has been poor for a year! I watch people eat meat all day, and I can’t even drink soup. Now it’s better!

"Oh, yes, Evan. How long will we sign the contract?" Dunn thought of the most critical question. Collymore has only signed a one-year contract with the club. If he is like this... then almost all of his previous thoughts will not be realized. The head coach is not like a player. This club stays for a year and that club stays for a year. The core of the head coach team, a head coach who wants to succeed must have a team building plan in his heart. He must know how he wants the team to play, who needs to be bought and sold according to tactics, and youth team building , Reserve team performance, weak link reform... etc. These all need time to complete. A caretaker head coach may be able to achieve success in the short term by his own ability, but if the club does not give him a long-term commitment, then don’t I think the team will do well in the future. Dunn's experience in the first half of the year is a living example.

Generally speaking, coaches of England teams are much happier than their counterparts in other countries, because the probability of dismissal of coaches of England teams is the lowest, and there are many who have coached a team for more than ten or twenty years. Merit coach.

Of course, this is also related to the different football cultures in the UK and continental Europe. Most coaches in the UK are also team managers, and they have more power. In continental European football clubs, the head coach is the coach. He does not have much power or authority even if he leads the team in training games. He can even become the scapegoat of the club chairman at any time, or he can be a scapegoat for the power struggle of the top clubs. Players often become the loser who leaves in the contest.

Dunn certainly knows this fine tradition of English football. But Nottingham Forest has changed eight head coaches in the past eight years... This data is also very bad for him.

"How many years do you want to sign? Tony." Evan asked, looking at him with a grin.

"Uh..." Dunn originally wanted to say "The longer the better", but after another thought, who knows what the future will look like? Never talk full without knowing it, leave yourself some leeway. So he rolled his eyes around, and said: "Three years, good to you and me."

Evan nodded.

"By the way, I have one condition." Dunn added. "And this condition must be written into the contract."

"What conditions?"

"Evan, you are the chairman of the club. I am the head coach of the team. You are in charge of running the club, and I am in charge of leading the team to train the game. I will never point fingers at the team’s operating conditions, but you can’t interfere with the team either. I have the final say in buying and selling people. I have the final say in renewing the contract with the player coach and not renewing the contract. You can just give me money. This must be ensured that you, as a club manager, cannot interfere with the team. There is no guarantee, then I won't sign that contract." Dunn categorically cut the railway.

This is a matter of his principle, and he must not compromise. If a head coach can't even control his team, but is just an obedient puppet and a microphone on the rostrum, why should he continue to sit in this position?

Whether he is a football fan or a coach who leads the team, Dunn hates the chairman who is gesticulating about team affairs. This has nothing to do with whether the club chairman is knowledgeable. If Mr. Chairman always likes to show off his knowledge of football, why doesn't he step out of the VIP box and direct the game himself?

Since you have chosen to let me be the head coach of the team, you must trust and respect my job, otherwise you might as well not find me-this is Dunn's idea.

Therefore, Dunn believes that the presidents of many clubs in continental Europe are not good presidents, such as AC Milan’s Berlusconi, Inter Milan’s Moratti, Real Madrid’s current chairman Florentino and his future successor Karl Deron...In comparison, the chairman of most clubs in England meets Dunn's selection criteria as the "best club chairman". Of course, he thinks that the chairman closest to that title is the chairman of the Manchester United club-Edwards.

The Englishman, whose name sounds a little strange, never interfered with Ferguson's behavior, even if he kicked the team captain and number one idol Beckham in the dressing room. This person almost never appears in the public. He has been in charge of Manchester United for more than 20 years. The team has gained countless honors and became the most profitable football club in the world. However, fans generally believe that these have nothing to do with Chairman Edwards, and there are even many. Fans hate this businessman who wants to sell the club anytime.

But Dunn likes it because he doesn't interfere in team affairs. But why Dunn’s evaluation of him is “close to the title of the best club chairman”? Because the businessman chairman is too stingy, if he is more generous, he will be perfect.

Ferguson has said: "Talking to Edwards is usually very pleasant, until you reach out and ask him for money."

Dunn believes that Evan Daugherty promised his father to take over the football club he didn't like. He must have taken Manchester United as a goal and Edwards as a role model. You must know that Edwards has earned money from Manchester United over the years. It's over 100 million pounds.

Dunn hopes that Evan can treat the team like Edwards, and at the same time be more generous than Edwards... I hope this will not be his idiot dream.

Evan considered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I agree."

Hearing Evan say this, Dunn laughed, "Awesome! Did you know, Evan? I actually don’t care if you like football, how you think of the Forest, and don’t care if you want to make money from this club. . As long as you give me enough freedom, I promise to let you get everything you want."

Evan stretched out his hand: "Look, Tony. As I said, we can cooperate very well!"

"You are right, Evan." Dunn grinned and nodded vigorously.

The two shook hands together.

After they talked, Evan Daggerty mysteriously hoped that Dunn would not leak the news in advance. Dunn didn't ask why, he nodded and agreed. Then Evan left in peace.

And Dunn, who returned home after a day of training, the first thing is not to change clothes and go to the bar to find the group of guys to drink and chat, but to sit in front of the computer, open the Google website, and type the keyword "Nottingham Forest", and it started. Search job.

He wants to prove a question that always exists in his heart.

He felt a little weird when he knew that Collymore's contract was only one year. If, as Evan said at the new head coach signing press conference, Collymore is "the hope from outside Nottingham Forest", then why only signed a one-year short-term contract-one year is the world It's really short enough for the team head coach.

At that time, Dunn persuaded himself that "Collymore is a novice, so he only signed for one year, and then decided whether to renew his contract after seeing his coaching results." This reason seems unassailable. But the confidence leaked from today's conversation with Evan reminded him of something else.

Everyone in the UK knows who Collymore is, what his personality is, and what his temper is. Everyone knows that in this age of advanced information, celebrities have little privacy at all. Then why did Evan make such an incomprehensible "management change" move? Although Dunn’s own team failed in the play-offs is also a reasonable excuse, it should never be an inevitable reason. At least many people like Burns know that if Dunn continues to lead him, the team will return to the Super League next season is definitely not a problem.

And now? On the one hand, the team ranks sixth from the bottom, only three points away from the relegation zone. Facing reporters' accusations, Collymore would only respond with silence or rants, and could not come up with any good solutions. On the other hand, he still has the mother of a **** who is casually dressed like a crappy **** molesting young players on the sidelines!

Such an incompetent head coach, the board can actually tolerate him sitting in that position?

These abnormal situations reminded Dunn to move his attention and thinking angle from the stadium to the outside.

Looking at the dense search results, he skipped the web pages about the history of Nottingham Forest and recent achievements. After turning thirteen pages, his eyes stopped on a text message.

"...Due to unsatisfactory results, the shares of Nottingham Forest Club on the London Stock Exchange have fallen all the way, and have fallen to 21 pence per share before the market closed yesterday. According to expert analysis, if the results are still not improved, then even the new appointment Chairman Evan Daugherty looks like a wealthy Yankee, and the stock price that has risen slightly due to his arrival will continue to decline. Although their just released annual report declares that the club has now emerged from the economic crisis and has zero debt, Still cannot prevent this from happening.

"It is worth noting that there is a piece of news for reference: Leeds United Club, which is in a financial crisis, has slipped into the relegation zone due to poor records. Their single share price has now fallen to 2.6p! This is the Leeds United Club. The lowest point since entering the market..."

This is a report briefly describing the performance of various football clubs in the stock market recently, four days ago.

Because of the team's poor performance, not only the Nottingham Forest family but also the poor "White Rose" Leeds United have caused the stock price to fall.

Dunn read the full text of this news several times, and finally stopped at "If the results still cannot be improved, then even if the new chairman Evan Daugherty looks like a rich Yankee, because he The stock price that comes and rises slightly will still continue to decline."

Sure enough!

He leaned against the back of the chair, stared at the computer screen, bit his lip, and fell into thought.
