Chapter 214 Goodbye, Ian (Part 2)

He is really busy, and becoming the head coach of the Premier League team is completely different from the head coach of the League One team. So for Ian and McDonald's words, he can only respond with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one thing, Tony. I plan to retire."

Tang En didn't react at first. "Retirement?" Where can the guard retire? But soon he understood and raised his voice and said in surprise: "Retirement!"

"Well, I'm not in good health, the kids are determined not to let me fuck me." Ian; McDonald coughed, "It was originally meant that I asked me to resign from the club in January. But I think about it, I'd better wait until the season ends.

I want to see the team go further. Don’t the players say they retire if they don’t play football? So I will retire once too!” Ian grinned and laughed.

Tang En was speechless. Old Ian was in poor health and he knew that some time ago, because he was hospitalized for a while, the club temporarily transferred a security guard from the youth team to act as a gatekeeper.

During that time, Tang En felt awkward because every day when he came in and out, he stood next to him with a serious and cold expression on his face, rather than the old man who always greeted everyone with a smile.

Considering the old man's health, leaving this position is indeed a good choice, and Tang En has no reason to stop him. This is also the reason why he can't speak.

Seeing that Tang En didn't say anything, Ian said again: "But that's fine, so I can go to the live game. I haven't been to the city stadium to watch the Forest team game for a long time.

Sometimes..." He looked back at the radio placed on the table, "It's uncomfortable to just listen to the radio here, but you can't see the picture."

Tang En's lips squirmed: "You're still a little uncomfortable, right?"

"There will definitely be there. After all, I have been working here for more than ten years." McDonald turned his head and looked like the inside of the training base. "When I just started standing here, it was Clauve's last season with the Forests.

I still remember the day when ‘Big Head’ (the nickname of Clauve) bid farewell to this place very clearly.

He walked out from here alone, holding his dog…” MacDonald pointed to the road in front of the door and waved his hand, “When he passed by me, he said to me: ‘Goodbye, Ian. Good luck.

’ Then I said, ‘Good luck, sir.’ Then he left without looking back. He disappeared.”

“I saw a lot of people walking out of this gate and never come back. Sometimes I would think, ‘It’s so unlucky, when I could get in touch with them at the closest distance, they all left. The Forest team was also relegated.

’Then I saw more people coming in, the Forest team was upgraded, relegated, and relegated again. Relegated again... After seeing us losing to Manchester United 1:8, they came here listlessly to start a new day of training...That period was really hard."

"You know what was thinking in my mind when I first saw you appear here, Tony?"

Tang En shook his head.

"I'm thinking - another unlucky guy! Haha...haha!" Ian; McDonald laughed loudly, laughing happily. They all started to cough.

Tang En laughed with him.

"I have seen many new coaches take office with confidence and finally leave.

I have no hope for you at all. During that time, what I was worried about was whether the Forest team would disappear from here due to bankruptcy. I believe many people were worried about this. No one cared about what the new head coach was..."

"But you proved that you are different. The most special one. Thank you, Tony."

Don was about to say something, but saw MacDonald wave his hand behind him, "Mr. Chairman's car is here, Tony."

While speaking, a series of dark red Audi A6 stopped beside Tang En.

"Good morning, Ian!" Evan; Dogette poked his head out of the driver's seat and waved to Ian; McDonald.

"Good morning. Mr. Chairman." Ian nodded slightly, and then he said to Don, "Goodbye, Tony."

"Goodbye, Ian..."

"Let's go, Tony!" Evan waved to Donn and signaled him to get in the car. "Goodbye, Ian!"

"Goodbye. Mr. Chairman."

Done got into the car. Evan rebooted the car and drove away from the training base gate. He looked back and couldn't see Ian; McDonald, maybe he had returned to the small guard room.

Even if he didn't have training today, he still had to stay there.

"Hey, Evan."

"Um?"

"Ian just told me that when this season is over, he will retire."

Dogette turned his head and looked at Tang En, who pointed to the front: "You are driving."

Evan; Doggetty turned back. "Is it because she is not in good health?"

"Well. His child doesn't support him in continuing to serve as the gatekeeper of the training base."

"Ian; McDonald, he worked here for thirteen years. He was the last witness of that era, right? He had been here for a long time when my father took over this team."

Tang En leaned on the back of the chair and said, "The old man is all exposed."

"Isn't this good? Metabolism normally. Look at what the media say about ours? 'Young Forest Team'! I like this title, young, full of vitality!"

"But... I'm not used to no one saying hello to me every day from now on."

Evan Doggetti was silent for a moment and said, "Of course, the club won't let him leave just like that. I considered giving him a honorary title of "lifelong fan" and keeping him a lifetime seat in the stands.

That number belongs to him and is not sold to the public."

Don Evan didn't say anything. This is something Evan could do as the club chairman. So what about him? He also had to give this old man a farewell gift, right?

But what?
