Chapter 71 New season budget

With his last game defeating Stoke City and defeating Chelsea, he became the last Premier League team to participate in the European Championship next season. Tony Donn has become a news figure that has attracted much attention from the media. His smug smile appeared in many media outlets, and his words "Tell European guys that your old friends are back" have even become Nottingham Forest fans' favorite quotes to imitate in these days.

But some people are happy, and some are naturally lost.

Just the day after the league ended, Chelsea officially announced that it would remove head coach Scolari from his position.  The statement thanked Scolari for his contribution to the team and affirmed his achievements - in fact, there was nothing to be sure of. In the two seasons led by Scolari, he did not win a championship.    The statement did not point out the reason for Scolari being dismissed. Scolari, who left the club, did not accept an interview with anyone and refused to comment on this.

But everyone knows it. The main reason why Scolari was dismissed from the semi-finals of the Champions League this season and lost his qualification for the Champions League next season is Scolari's dismissal. Although Abramovich is rich, he can buy many players for Chelsea. However, the pressure of being a head coach at Chelsea may be greater than that at Manchester United and Arsenal.

The same person as Scolari is also the former coach of Manchester City Mark Hughes. Hughes must have understood Scolari's mood at this moment very well - he was fired by the unbearable Arab boss of Manchester City after the end of last season. Manchester City, which invested a lot of money, did not achieve a match for it. Participating in the League Cup was their only reward. Mark Hughes said something after being dismissed, which caused a sigh. He said: "I can finally have a good sleep."

As for Hughes' successor Kevin Keegan, he is still suffering from this position. The reason why he is unwilling to resign voluntarily is just to get the club to terminate the contract with him so that he can get a considerable compensation. Now, the position of Manchester City's head coach has become a hot potato.

Compared with this, Chelsea's situation is slightly better. After all, starting with Hodel, after the inheritance of Gulit, Viali and Ranieri, Chelsea has become a strong team in the Premier League, and they are much more attractive to excellent players and excellent coaches.

So Scolari was fired. Chelsea officially announced the successor-

"...We have reached an agreement with Mr. Frank Rijkaard. He is willing to serve as Chelsea head coach. Mr. Abramovich is also looking forward to Mr. Rijkaard bringing pleasant football to Chelsea fans..."

No one who is familiar with Abramovich will be surprised by this candidate. Rijcard, who is currently at home, is indeed the most suitable for Abramovich's request. Think about the artistic football he played in Barcelona. If you want to watch beautiful football, Rijcard is the best candidate at the moment.

Rijkaard quickly responded. He accepted the invitation from the Chelsea club. He regarded it as a brand new challenge.

Previous rumors that Rijkaard would replace Ancelotti as the head coach of AC Milan were self-defeated.

The day after the news was released, Rijkaard appeared in London and officially took office. Some media mentioned this matter when interviewing Don Eun, hoping to hear his views on Chelsea's new head coach.

Don En found it very strange: "Why do you come to ask me about my thoughts about the personnel changes of Chelsea Club? I am not their personnel department manager..."

The reporter smiled and said, "But isn't you the person who caused their personnel changes, Mr. Tang En?"

Don Eun choked when asked. He thought about it carefully and it was really like this. If he had not squeezed Chelsea from fourth place in the league to fifth place in the league, then Scolari might not have been dismissed. After all, this kind of early termination is required. The club has to compensate the dismissed head coach for the termination of the contract, which is also a loss for Chelsea club. If it weren't for the results that really could not be accepted by Abramovich, who would like to fire people and play?

"Okay..." Don sighed, "I admire Rijcalde's achievements in Barcelona. But..." He thought of himself as the former Barcelona coach, who had a little personal grudge, "...you must know these things. So next season's Premier League will have another topic to hype for you. For me, there is no change. My goal is championship and victory. I only care about these two things, and other things... I don't care."

Although he spoke boldly in front of the reporters, this attitude was still considered by the "Tang Enhe" to be "swelling and fat". With the current situation of the Forest team, it is already a very impressive result to be able to ensure that they are in the top four leagues every season. Tang En actually wants to win the championship...

Since we want to make a big stride in the new season, it is definitely not enough to rely on these people now. Nottingham Forest must find players from the transfer market that can enhance the team's strength.

This requires money.

Tang En knew that the team couldn't afford to spend much money now. But he still planned to go to Evan with the help of his expenses, hoping that he could give himself more money...

He thought this kind of thing would be difficult, but he was shocked.

"I decided to put aside the plans for the construction of the new stadium indefinitely before the economic environment improved." In the club president's office, Evan Doggety said to Donn with a smile on his face. "So now I have the money to buy someone for you."

"Allen... know?" Don't his first thought was not happiness, but what Alan Adams would think.

"That's his proposal." Evan smiled. "And our huge new stadium plan also needs to be modified... In short, these things will give him a headache. Tony, you just need to lead the team to achieve results. I read the interview about you. I hope you are not talking about it." He walked up and patted Don Endi's shoulder and said.

"Yes, the champion... I never talk about it. Empty talk can't help me win the championship. What kind of budget do you plan to give me in the new season, Evan?" He asked the most critical question.

"How much do you need. Tony?"

Tang En pondered for a moment.

Every summer, the team is interested in several players in their team. But it is always those people. He will not consider selling the land. For example, George Wood, Gareth Bale and Pepe.

If you want to expand your strength this summer, you can basically not sell the team's pillar players. And Tang En can accept that the players who sell this reality can't actually sell a lot of money. So it is unrealistic to rely on selling the ball to exchange for transfer funds. Now the team's weakest relief is in the front line and midfield. Van Nistruy has returned to the team. He has received a new contract for two years, but his salary is much lower than his previous contract. This is also the price...

His body has recovered well and he can play for the team again in the new season. But no one is sure of his condition.

Nickras Milan and Viktor Moses are still young and still need training. The Forest team will definitely fight on both sides in the new season, and the team implements a rotation system. There is no need to worry about their chances of the game. The only thing they are worried about is whether their abilities can keep up with the needs of the European arena. Now it seems that Milan may not have any big problems, and Moses still needs to be honed.

As a high center forward, Nikic will definitely occupy a place in the Forest team. Although his performance is not eye-catching, it is very practical.

Abanglaho's speed is a new weapon in Don't let him play more diversely.

Needless to say, Eastwood was his best season since his debut. As long as he was not injured, he must be the team's starter, and he and Van Nistrui are also the most experienced players in the Forest team's Champions League front line.

However, such a forward is still not strong enough. A striker who needs to be supplemented with sufficient level.

The midfielder... George Wood and Lennon are trustworthy players, but he is the only one on the right side of Lennon. Last season, the team only focused on the domestic league, so there was no big deal. Now that it is necessary to fight on both sides, one person will definitely not be able to stick to the whole season.

Shahin's performance is not bad. After a season of training and running-in, he has made progress. Being re-sumed into the Turkish national team may be a proof. Thiago Mendes is also a rotation player for the team. John Bostock Donn wants to loan him for a year, and he still needs to train, and Adriano Mok is also the one who wants to be loaned out.

Chris Cohen's performance is a good addition to the midfield lineup. He must also stay, and he will have no shortage of opportunities to play in two-line battles.

Petrov-Donn plans to sell him. On the one hand, the Bulgarians are old, their speed is not as fast as before, and their condition is gradually declining; On the other hand, they are still trying to cash out now - it is said that Hoffenheim, the number one dark horse in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, fell in love with him. Want to let him go to Germany to play his remaining energy. Petrov has also made this idea now. After all, he became famous in the Bundesliga, so it is not unfamiliar to go back now.

In this way, the two sides of the midfield will continue to replenish the players with strength.

There are not so many worries on the back line. Layton Barnes Gareth Bale's performance is very stable. Barnes had fewer chances of playing last season, but with the arrival of the new season, he will only have more or less opportunities.

The right-back Rafinia has grown up completely. He attacked sharply and actively returned to the defense on the wing. He has secured the position of Forest’s number one right-back. Now there are many teams that are interested in him in the outside world. But Tang En will not consider selling.

Zimbonda is an exception. He is thirty-one years old. Since a few years ago, Don En has been thinking about finding a suitable candidate and let him leave. But he is still in the team and has performed very hard. He goes all out when he needs to play on the court, and has no complaints about playing as a substitute. He has made a great contribution to the team being able to finally qualify for the Champions League last season. His defense is much better than Rafina in the right back position. When Don En needs the team to defend, he is more trustworthy than the Brazilian.

Rediscovering the value of this Frenchman - he is not a star player. But he is indeed the kind of "role players" that no team lacks. They have their own roles and responsibilities. They are the foundation of a team. Donn needs such "role players". This summer, the club is negotiating a new contract with his agent for four years. Once signed, it will almost be a lifetime contract: four years later, Zimbonda is over 35 years old and can basically consider retiring directly.

Since the construction plan of the new stadium is shelved, and the activity of going to China to find sponsorship is not successful. Tang En decided to put Sun Jihai in the transfer market, whether it is a Chinese club. Whether it is a British Championship or the English League One club, as long as it can afford to buy it, it will be sold. Although it is impossible to sell at a high price now, it is a big gap from the 4 million pounds he bought, if you wait for another year, Sun Jihai will leave the free transfer and the club will not be able to make a penny.

In terms of central defenders, Pepe is the main force of the land. Unless he is injured, he will definitely start. Kompany and Woodgate will be rotating central defenders in the new season. After all, Woodgate's health is not as strong as Kompany, and minor injuries are slightly frequent. Wesmogan is a good supplement. But Mogan can't count on playing in European games.

Five central defenders are enough, and more will be wasted.

Young left-back Joe Matok worked hard to adapt to his new position in the last season - the centre-back. He will be loaned out for practical training in the new season.

"I think, about 50 million... pounds." Tang En quickly estimated the psychologically. He reported a rough figure.

Evan frowned: "It's not too little, but I'll find a way..." The frowning expression only appeared for a few seconds, and then he smiled again, "Go to have a happy holiday with Shania. Don't think about anything. The money has been implemented, I will notify you, Tony. Where are you planning to play?"

"China.  " Tang En shrugged.   "Go to visit Tang Di's parents, which is also my...parents.   In addition, I have an endorsement commercial contract there, and I want to negotiate."

When Don En mentioned "China", Evan remembered his trip to China in the summer of 2008. At that time, Nottingham Forest had just defended the Champions League and won the double championship of that season.  There was a storm and was proud of it.  Where they went, there was a red storm, and it felt great to watch East Asian fans and companies worship them. Unfortunately, all this is gone now.  Alan Adams ran in China for almost half a year last season. When those companies heard that they wanted to throw money into the new stadium, they all shook their heads and lamented the economic crisis, the current situation was so difficult, and they had no money.  The rich rich men are all state-owned enterprises. Even if someone wants to invest in the real estate market in the UK, they dare not act rashly due to their identity.

Later, some people in the UAE proposed that they could inject capital, but not the stadium project. Instead, they inject capital into the club, which is equivalent to a disguised acquisition. Evan flatly refused - even if he sold Nottingham Forest, it is not now. Now the other party can suppress the price unscrupulously, and only fools can sell it.

Evan Doggetty was stunned for a while and found that Don was still standing in front of him. So she smiled apologetically: "I wish you a good time, Tony. If possible, bring me and Alan and come back some Chinese gifts..."

Tang En nodded: "Then I have to spend some time thinking about what gifts to bring to satisfy you."
