Chapter 922

In the afternoon press conference, more than 80 media reporters from all over the world poured in, crowding the large press hall of the Crimson Stadium.

Evan Dougherty and Alan Adams attended the press conference.

At the beginning, the reporters were quite reserved, asking some questions about O'Neill's resignation, or caring about who the next head coach of Nottingham Forest would be.But after a few questions, the reporters couldn't hold back any longer, and all raised their hands to stand up and ask questions about Tony Twain.

"May I ask if what Tony Twain said in his open letter is true?"

"Is driving away the meritorious coach just because he can't meet his demands for absolute power in transfers?"

"Does the club admit that not renewing the contract with Tony Twain is the biggest failure?"

"It is said that this morning, at the gate of Wilford, a large group of fans protested. Can we talk about it?"

"Mr. Allen Adams, you said that the club will give fans an explanation for Tony Twain's resignation. Can you reveal a little bit about the explanation?"

……

These stormy questions made the two of them burnt out.Neither of them were clearly the type to deal with reporters, and now they knew how stupid they were to show up for this press conference—they could have just assigned a press officer to come and act as a spokesperson.

Later, they had to resort to a killer move——

"Sorry, the subject of this press conference is an official response to Martin O'Neill's application for resignation. We will not answer any unrelated questions." Allen Adams stood up to Evan as a shield, but how long he could hold back Woolen cloth?

The reporters rolled their eyes and changed their questions one after another:

"May I ask whether Martin O'Neill's resignation is due to the same reason as Tony Twain's resignation?"

"It is said that after the press conference of the Forest team's friendly match with England, O'Neill and Twain had another secret meeting. Is his resignation related to this?"

"There are rumors that the Nottingham Forest dressing room is not united, and Martin O'Neill does not have the trust of all the players. Does this have something to do with Twain's influence?"

"Having lost two head coaches in two months, does the club have any countermeasures?"

……

Anyway, the reporters wanted to force these two people to express their views on Tony Twain.

Allen Adams had to talk about him frequently, and the answer was not right.The reporters were dissatisfied with his coping attitude, and the questions they asked became more and more pointed.

"It is rumored that you received a commission from Inter Milan in Lennon's transfer. Is this true?"

"Nonsense!" Allen finally got angry. "Such rumors slander me, and I reserve the right to sue!" He stood up and waved excitedly.

Evan Dalgety, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him and then winked at the press officer.

The press officer hurriedly stepped forward to "rescue you": "Gentlemen, this is the end of today's press conference..."

Before he finished speaking, Alan and Evan had turned and left.

The reporters were not reconciled, they chased after and asked questions until the two people completely disappeared from sight.

"What a bastard... You don't cooperate at all!" The reporters complained dissatisfied that they didn't get any valuable news.

"Don't worry, didn't Alan say that the club will give the fans a satisfactory answer in four days? Let's wait and see." The older colleague smiled happily. "It's been a great summer. If only every summer was like this..."

When the pictures of this press conference were broadcast on TV, many Forest fans laughed happily when they saw Alan Adams and Evan Dalgety in a state of embarrassment.

At the beginning, everyone may have some doubts. How could the club's top management do such a self-destruction of the Great Wall?
But now, as the media reported more and more reports, and the insider dug deeper and deeper, no one suspected that these two people were the culprits who drove Tony Twain away.

Yes, they used the word "drive away".Although Tang En himself chose not to renew the contract, after knowing the truth of the matter, no one believed that Tang En was responsible.If it didn't seem that the club's senior management was unwilling to delegate power and wanted to check and balance Tang En, how could Tang En not renew his contract?There are 11 years of his hard work here, and there are countless fans who support him. There is really no need for him to leave.

Therefore, there is no doubt that it was the club executives who drove Tang En away.

The same laughter came from the forest bar.

The divided bar is gradually healing, and now everyone is no longer arguing about whether Tony Twain has sorry for them, but they feel that they are quite sorry for Twain.England fans are like this, dare to love and hate.

Only Bill seemed to be still twisting.

He didn't come here very much recently, and even when he came, he drank alone in the corner.He would ignore anyone who went up to talk to him.

That was the case today, when he came and everyone was so busy watching TV laughing at the club president and commercial executives that no one noticed him.He was also so happy, and found a corner to sit down by himself, and then gestured to Burns behind the bar for a drink.

While ordering the waiter to bring him wine, Burns said to John next to him, "He's here again."

John glanced at Bill: "I saw it."

"Aren't you going to say something? You two are good friends."

"He's in a mess right now, so I won't go up to join in the fun. In a few days... In fact, he can't figure out anything by himself. If he can't figure it out, no one else can say anything. He's almost fifty people, Still like a child..." John muttered.

Burns laughed out loud when he heard the last sentence: "In my opinion, all fans are like children. You did a great job taking people to Wilford this morning... Have you ever thought that you would What kind of answer did you get? To be honest, I think it is impossible for the club to publicly admit that it was a mistake for them to let Twain leave, at least not within this period of time..."

John shook his head: "I just want to embarrass them and let them know that no one dares to say no to them in this world. Although that person is the chairman of the club, we fans can give him the middle finger! If we are not satisfied answer, then every home game, we will use our actual actions to express our dissatisfaction with the club. In addition..." He was silent for a while. "...It's an apology to Tony. After all, our people booed him mercilessly at the Crimson Stadium, and the booing must have hurt him. If... I mean, if Tony returns to the Crimson Stadium, I will I want someone to apologize to him."

"I don't think there is much chance." Burns poured cold water on John.

"I think so too..." John took a sip of his wine and said in a muffled voice.

"Damn it! Those damned reporters!" Alan Adams kept using it as a shield at the press conference, but in private, it was Evan Dalgety who got angry.

Allen followed Evan without saying a word.

The two were walking from the parking lot to Evan's mansion, which looked like an old castle manor.

"They want to see us make a fool of ourselves, and they can't let them do so. After the official website publishes a statement about O'Neill's resignation, shut up. Wait a few days..."

When talking about the matter of a few days, Evan stopped.He stood there silent.

Allen is also rather surprised what kind of answer the club will give the fans in a few days so that they will not make trouble.

"What's your answer to them, Evan?" he asked.

Evan seemed to have made a difficult decision. He let out a breath, and then said to Allen next to him, "Don't we just need a head coach when O'Neal is gone?"

Allen nodded, he didn't know what this had to do with his question.

"I decided to go find Tony."

Allen was taken aback.He suddenly understood. "You plan to find Tony to replace O'Neal? Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, Allen. The best thing to do now is to bring Tony back. Only he can run the team. Only he can calm the fans down. I think about it for a day, this is the only solution." .”

The dumbfounded Allen stared at Evan for a while, and then suddenly smiled wryly: "I made a big circle and went back to the starting point."

Evan didn't say a word. He knew it would be embarrassing to do so, but this was the only way to keep Nottingham Forest's future.

"I don't think he will agree. He is a man who will take revenge. We offended him, and he will never come back." Allen felt that this method was absurd.

"I can apologize to him, give him the power and freedom he wants, and give him the highest salary..." If Evan had said this more than two months earlier, then nothing after that would have happened.Unfortunately, not everyone can predict the future.

"What about his contract with the FA?"

"I plan to go to London for some activities and try to let him serve as the head coach of the national team..."

Allen sighed heavily this time and shook his head: "You are so crazy." Then he left Evan alone and walked forward.

In fact, Evan is not sure whether it is appropriate for him to do so.But this is indeed the most perfect way he can think of.As long as Tony can come back to lead the team, all problems will not be called problems. He will lose some face, but in the long run, he will gain more than he lost.

Tang En was very surprised that he could receive calls from Evan Dougherty again.So when he saw the name displayed on the phone screen, he froze for a few seconds before remembering to answer the phone.

"I thought you had deleted my phone number and destroyed all evidence of my existence, Mr. Evan Daugherty." After Dunn picked up the phone, his teeth immediately became sharp. stand up.

The caller over there smiled wryly.He knew he was going to get a "welcome address" like this.

Evan ignored Tang En's sarcasm, and told Tang En his reason for coming.

Tang En's reaction was similar to that of Allen, he asked loudly: "Are you crazy?"

"I know it's crazy to think..."

"There are more than a few? It seems that you have been pushed hard by those reporters." Tang En laughed.

"But I'm here to apologize, Tony..."

"Apologize for what?"

"There may be some misunderstanding between us..."

"No misunderstanding, Mr. Daugherty. There is no misunderstanding at all. My departure just shows that the two of us have different ideas about football and Nottingham Forest. If this is the case, there is no need to stay there. Of course, you are impossible. left, so only I left. That's how it is, what apology you have?"

Hearing what Tang En said, Evan began to feel that his method would not work.

"I still hope you can consider the possibility of returning to Nottingham Forest..."

"Don't reconsider, Mr. Daugherty. I have a two-year contract with the FA. During this period, I will not go anywhere. I will not return to Nottingham Forest to coach." Tang En said firmly, he seemed to really not want to Back to Nottingham Forest.

"Your players need you, Tony..."

Tang En laughed, and even laughed aloud: "You are the king of this team, aren't you? At first you acted willfully and thought that you could control everything. Now when you find that you can't stop it, you want to find Shall I go back and wipe your ass? I'm so sorry, Mr Daugherty. I'm tired of this. Good luck to you, good luck to your Nottingham Forest."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Evan to say anything else.

After hanging up the phone, he felt a fire burning in his chest, and wanted to find an exit to rush out.So he threw the mobile phone in his hand, and the mobile phone was thrown on the wall, breaking into countless pieces.

It took him two glasses of water to regain his composure.

When the spring breeze was proud, he decided to abandon me, but when he was devastated, he still had the nerve to ask me for support.Evan, Evan, is your brain full of shit?If I agree to your request, what will I become?Can you use whatever you throw away at will?A bitch who can sleep with you for a fee?
I'm sorry, for me, there are many things that can be priced with money, but dignity is not.

You pull your own shit, lick it yourself!

Evan was roughly hung up by Tang En, and when he called again, he found that he couldn't get through at all.

He sat on a chair, pinched his mobile phone in his hand, and looked out of the window at the Wilford training ground.

Ten years ago, the three of them together in an Indian restaurant painting the grand blueprint of Nottingham Forest have become yellowed old photos.

G14, which used to be the goal of three people, was also disbanded in a deal with UEFA six years ago.

The blueprint they had longed for had long since been shattered.In this case, why do you still have to stay together?Then you go your way, I go my way.

I apologized to you, but you refused to accept it, and I also offered to you, but you refused.From now on, we owe nothing to anyone. I don't care what happens to you, and it doesn't matter to you what happens to Nottingham Forest.

You are England manager and I am chairman of Nottingham Forest.The two of us have had nothing to do with each other ever since.
