Godfather Of Champions

The team trains on the training ground, led by assistant coach David Chris Lak. Dunn and the club’s chairman Evan Doggety watched the training through the huge French windows in the chairman’s office.

"Tony, is there a problem with the team now?"

Evan's question was purely knowingly. At present, the team lost two consecutive league matches. Dunn took the initiative to come to him. All fools knew there must be a problem. Perhaps it is clear that it is silly to ask, Evan added, "Uh, what is wrong with me."

Dunn looked at the training ground below, hesitated for a while, and nodded: "Well, Evan, you may have to pay again. There is a position that needs to be added. The league played 18 rounds and the team almost lost every game. The ball. Look at the recent games... I must say that Darren Ward has not met my requirements."

"Darren Ward? Are you planning to buy a new goalkeeper when the winter transfer window opens?"

"Yes, I already have a suitable candidate. But we may be facing competition from where we don't know..." In fact, Dunn knows that the rival Forest Team faces is the Manchester United team that made George Wood famous. "So financially I need the full support of the club."

Evan did not answer right away, but bowed his head and thought for a while.

Dunn didn't urge, and stood aside pretending to watch the training. He understands Evan's difficulties.

After all, he spent a bit crazy in the summer. The Premier League is not the same as Serie A and La Liga. A transfer fee of several million pounds for a non-rich club is not a small expenditure. It is like La Liga that spends more than 100 million people in a summer. It is absolutely impossible to appear in a Premier League club.

This summer, because Abramovich’s Chelsea ushered in a champion-level coach Mourinho, the expenses are naturally champion-level. Abramovich has driven the consumption boom in English football, and Premier League clubs have greatly increased their spending on player transfers this summer.

As a rule, Nottingham Forest, as a newly promoted horse, has just passed the economic crisis. It would be nice to have a transfer budget of five or six million pounds in the new season, but Dunn spent 12 million in one breath, basically saving the ball. The team's finances are all drained. He also knows that if he makes economic demands now, Evan's promise will definitely not be as straightforward as Summer.

"I'm very interested in your goals, Tony." The result of the meditation was that Evan still did not nod his head, but asked questions.

Dunn said: "Fulham and the main goalkeeper of the Dutch national team Van der Sar."

Evan recalled it in his mind and seemed to have an impression: "That thin and tall guy? He's good, but I heard that Manchester United is also interesting to him..."

Dunn smiled bitterly: "So we need to prepare more money... The only conditions we can use are to increase the transfer fee and meet the salary needs of the Dutch."

"What is his weekly salary at Fulham?"

"Forty thousand pounds." Dunn stretched out four fingers.

Hearing this number, Evan frowned. If you want the Dutch to come to the country, at least the salary level cannot be lower than this number. This is bound to destroy the existing salary structure of the forest team. At present, the highest salary in the forest team is Viduka, whose weekly salary is only 40,000. George Wood, who has just become famous, has a weekly salary equal to that of the contract he signed last season-2,500 pounds.

"How much transfer fee do you expect, Tony?" Evan asked again.

"I think..." Dunn recalled that Manchester United signed Van der Sar on July 1st next year. How much did it cost? three hundred? five hundred? It seems to be a relatively special number... Come to think of it! "At least more than 2.5 million pounds..."

"Why is it 2.5 million?"

"Uh, if it's lower, Fulham won't agree? It cost them more than five million pounds to bring the Dutchman from Juventus. Van der Sar is almost thirty-four years old. It is impossible to sell higher than before, but not too low. After all, it is not our family interested in Van der Sar."

Listening to Dunn’s explanation, Evan nodded: “You’re right, Tony. But I don’t think there is only one name on your shortlist, right?”

Evan was right, Dunn would definitely not put all his eggs in one basket. "Of course... I have many names, but I am afraid that the most suitable one is Van der Sar. Evan, do you know the French goalkeeper Frey? He is the main goalkeeper of Parma. Although Parma is now in an economic crisis, we If you want to get him, the transfer fee will be higher. Moreover, they also have to face the competition from Manchester United... Their goalkeeper problem this season is as prominent as ours. In order to save money, we can also consider asking Inter Milan to loan Toldo’s Request-but I don’t think it was a wise choice. The status of the old Italian goalkeeper has declined greatly... In addition, I have many young goalkeeper names, but they are too small, they belong to the future and cannot be resolved. Our problem now."

After listening to Dunn's analysis, Evan also had to admit that his proposal was well thought out.

"Okay, Tony. We are talking to the bank about refinancing. I think if it goes well, you should not be short of money in January next year." Evan Daggerty finally nodded.

The stone in Dun En's heart fell to the ground when he heard that he had money. The Forest Team is now in the stage of transformation and change, and money is needed everywhere. Dunn is still a little grateful for Evan to cooperate with him. After all, there are fewer and fewer club presidents now. Perhaps it is because of his identity as an American who doesn’t understand football, Evan can delegate more power to himself, and he only asks about the team. As long as Dunn can give a reasonable reason, he will not have objection.

Although we don't have any Russians with money, Dunn is still very content after thinking about some nastyness between Mourinho and Abramovich in the future.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Evan suddenly added: "Of course, Tony. If you increase your investment, you need to be rewarded. What is our goal this season?"

Dunn understands the meaning of Evan’s question. As the team chairman, Evan Daggerty can’t help but know the team’s goals this season, which was set before the season. He nodded: "Our goal will definitely not be relegation. I think after the end of this season we will appear in the list of teams that can participate in the European competition next season."

Evan laughed out of satisfaction: "I just said, we can cooperate tacitly, Tony!"

Dunn scratched his head and smiled.

The league is still going on, and the Nottingham Forest team has sent someone to contact Fulham. For Dunn, his advantage is that he knows Manchester United's hole cards. Although it has not been a day or two for Ferguson to secretly give away to Van der Sar, it has already been reported in the media. But there are still a lot of candidates for Manchester United to choose, so they have no substantial contact.

Frey who is not happy now in Parma, Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, and even Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas. As a giant, Manchester United has a sense of superiority compared to the Forest team. They must all look at players with weight. Although Van der Sar was once the best goalkeeper in the world, after all, he is now three. At the age of fourteen, if Manchester United spend too much money to buy an old man who will retire after two years of playing, first of all, Manchester United general manager David Gill will not pass that level.

In the end, Manchester United bought Van der Sar after successive attempts to introduce Buffon and Casillas failed, with only 2.5 million pounds. When Van der Sar came to Manchester United, not many people were optimistic about him. After all, he was a 34-year-old veteran. Everyone thought that Ferguson bought Van der Sar as a temporary rescue. Manchester United will not stop moving. The footsteps of looking for good goalkeepers in the market, the fact is true, the rumors between them and Casillas never ceased.

Fulham's current economic situation is not so good. Van der Sar, the 34-year-old man, has to get a salary of 40,000 pounds a week, which makes them a little overwhelmed. Someone asked for the price, and they were naturally happy to reply. Of course, the reserved face should be done.

Faced with the asking price of the Forest team, Fulham initially put on a posture of "Van der Sar is the team's main goalkeeper, although it is not for sale, but it is impossible to buy it cheaply".

Nottingham Forest replied at Dunn's instruction: "We will definitely not spend another five million pounds for a thirty-four year old guy!"

Fulham also knew that the buyer was not a fool. So they carried out Manchester United: "Manchester United is also interesting to Van der Sar now..."

Nottingham Forest asked: "Did they make an offer?"

The answer is definitely "no". There are only three clubs that can still see Van der Sar, one is the rumored Manchester United-pay attention to the "rumored"; the other is the Dutch team Ajax, but Van der Sar, who has lived in England for four years Sa is accustomed to football and life here, and does not intend to return to the Netherlands. After all, what the Premier League says is the top league; the third one is the Nottingham Forest.

Among the three clubs, the only club that made an offer is the Forest.
