Chapter 387 Volume 3 The Red Forest Goodbye, Ian (Part 2)

It's really busy. Becoming the head coach of a Premier League team is completely different from being the head coach of a League One team. So for Ian Macdonald's words, he could only respond with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something, Tony. I'm going to retire."

Tang En didn't react at first. "Retired?" What kind of military service did the guard retire from? But soon he understood, raised his voice and said in surprise: "Retired!"

"Well, my health is not good, and the children are determined not to let me do it." Ian McDonald coughed, "It was originally said that I would resign from the club in January next year. But I think it's better to wait until the end of the season Right. I want to see the team go further. Don’t the players all say to retire after they stop playing football? So I’ll retire once too!” Ian grinned and laughed.

Tang En was speechless. He knew that old Ian was not in good health. He had been rested for a while because of being hospitalized, and the club temporarily transferred a security guard from the youth team to act as a doorman. During that time, Tang En felt awkward all the time, because when he went in and out every day, there was a security guard in uniform with a serious face and a cold expression standing next to him, not the old man who always greeted everyone with a smile.

Considering the old man's health, leaving this post is indeed a good choice, Tang En has no reason to stop him. That's why he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Tang En didn't speak, Ian said again: "But it's good, so I can go to watch the game live. I haven't been to the City Stadium to watch the Forest team's game for a long time. Sometimes..." He looked back Looking at the radio on the table, "It's uncomfortable to listen to the radio here without seeing the picture."

Tang En's lips twitched a bit: "I still feel a little uncomfortable, right?"

"There will definitely be, after all, I have worked here for more than ten years." McDonald turned his head to look inside the training base, "When I first started standing here, it was Clough's last season with the Forest team." '(Clough's nickname) I still remember the day when I bid farewell to this place. He walked out of here alone, leading his dog..." MacDonald pointed to the road in front of the door and waved his hand, " As he passed me, he said to me: 'Goodbye, Ian. Good luck.' And I said, 'Good luck to you too, sir.' And he just walked away without looking back, disappeared Gone."

"I've seen a lot of people walk out of this gate and never come back. Sometimes I think, 'What luck, when I was able to get in touch with them at the closest distance, they all left. The Forest team also Relegated.' Then I saw more people coming in, Forest was promoted, relegated, relegated, relegated... After seeing us lose 1-8 to Manchester United, they came here to start a new day of training... It was a tough time."

"You know what was going through my head when I first saw you here, Tony?"

Tang En shook his head.

"I'm thinking—another wretch! Haha...haha!" Ian Macdonald laughed, so happily he coughed.

Tang En laughed along with him.

"I have seen a lot of new coaches who took office with great ambitions and finally left. I didn't have the slightest hope for you. At that time, I was worried about whether the Forest team would disappear from here because of bankruptcy. I I believe many people are worried about this. No one cares what the new head coach is..."

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

Just as Tang En was about to say something, he saw Macdonald waving behind him, "Mr. Chairman's car is here, Tony."

While speaking, a series of dark red Audi A6s stopped beside Tang En.

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

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

"Goodbye, Ian..."

"Let's go, Tony!" Evan waved to Tang En, signaling him to get in the car. "Goodbye, Ian!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Chairman."

Tang En got into the car, Evan restarted the car, and drove away from the gate of the training base. He looked back and couldn't see Ian MacDonald, perhaps he had already returned to the small guard room.

Even if there is no training today, he still has to stick to his post there.

"Hello, Evan."

"Um?"

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

Dalgety turned his head to look at Tang En, while Tang En pointed to the front: "You are driving."

Evan Daugherty twisted back. "Is it because of poor health?"

"Well. His children don't support him to continue to be the guard of the training base."

"Ian Macdonald, he's been here for thirteen years. Is he the last witness of that era? He's been here for a long time when my dad took over the team."

Tang En leaned on the back of the chair and said, "The old people are all gone."

"Isn't that nice? Normal metabolism. See what the media says about us? 'Young Forest'! I like the title, young and full of energy!"

"However... in the future, I'm not used to having no one greet me every day."

Evan Dalgety was silent for a while, then said: "Of course, the club will not let him just leave. I think it's time to give him the honorary title of 'Fan for Life' and reserve a lifetime seat for him in the stands." .That number belongs to him and is not for sale.”

Dunn didn't say a word, this is something Evan can do as the chairman of the club. What about him? He also has to give the old man a parting gift, right?

But what?

He didn't think about it.
