Chapter 82: Volume 2: Nottingham's Sky, New Coach (Part 2)
Evan Dalgety squinted his eyes and looked at the sun-drenched stadium, then turned to Tang En: "Tony, I watched those two play-off games. Do you know why I didn't choose you?" He didn't continue. Go on, but wait for Tang En to say that if Tang En is a smart person, he should know the reason.
"Because I failed?" Dunn looked at Evan and asked back.
Evan smiled and didn't answer.
"Very good. Because I failed, you chose a rookie. What if he fails at the end of the season? Will you come up with someone else? Evan, do you really understand this sport?!" Tang Engao asked voice.
Facing Tang En's anger, Evan was not angry. He looked up at the blue sky, and at the training field in the distance. The sun shone on the green turf and reflected a little golden light, which was the condensation of water droplets after the sprinkler sprinkled water.
"Tony, you can also be Collymore's assistant coach. I believe you will cooperate very well..." Evan said slowly, looking into the distance.
Looking at Evan Dalgety, who has become the chairman of the club, Dunn shook his head in disappointment: "Evan, I hope you know: I, Dunn, will never be anyone's assistant, and no one is worthy of me Be his assistant. I'm glad you consider me a friend, goodbye."
After speaking, he put on his sunglasses, turned and left without hesitation.
He didn't know if he had a chance to come back here, yes, he planned to leave Nottingham. When he didn't have much ties to him emotionally, he could turn around and leave at any time.
The news that he was dismissed by the new chairman spread faster than "Ms. Di" (a famous British pigeon), and now he has three pieces of paper with the phone numbers of other clubs in his pocket. Call him Without exception, everyone said to him: "We are overwhelmed by your coaching achievements and personal style in the second half of last season. The door of this club is always open for you, Mr. Tony Twain."
This made Dunn feel a little better in his depressed mood, because he knew that his dedication and hard work for half a season were not meaningless, and there were still people who recognized him. Although there are no super teams here, there are two teams from the same league and one second-tier team.
Tang En went out from the gate, bid farewell to Ian Macdonald, and slowly walked home along this quiet tree-lined road. Looking at the looming training ground behind the dense forest, he knew——it was time to make a decision. Should I stay here and continue to be the coach of the youth team, or go to other teams as the head coach?
Dunn had already left long ago, but Evan Dougherty was still standing by the side of the training field, as if he was very interested in the work of the turf maintenance workers. In fact, his eyes just swept across the training field, staying on the distant sky without focus.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then they stopped behind him.
"He's gone, Evan?" a sharp voice asked.
Evan nodded: "Let's go."
"Will he leave?"
"I don't know . . . I think maybe."
"What a pity," said the voice. "If only he had been more patient..."
"Actually, I understand him very well, Allen. Anyone in his position would leave without hesitation. It would be a miracle if he could stay." Evan Dalgety sighed.
"I know...it looks like we're going to have to look for a new head coach."
Evan turned around and looked at the blond man standing behind him: "Alan, we will succeed, right?"
Alan Adams, Evan Dougherty's financial advisor, a classmate at Harvard University, his most trusted assistant and friend nodded: "Relax, my plan is perfect. This club's financial situation is better than we expected It's worse, but I see a lot of potential in it. To make this club yours, you have to do it."
Evan nodded, indicating that he knew. "However..." He looked in the direction of the door and shrugged. "I really like Tony. It would be too unfortunate if he became our enemy in the end."
Whose misfortune is it? forest? Is he still Tony Twain?
While making choices about his future, Tang En did not forget that there was one more thing waiting for him to face. Since yesterday, the media that blocked his door did not dissipate, instead there were signs of setting up camp for a protracted war... Tang En's going in and out of his house now is like going to a brothel to visit a prostitute, hiding his unpleasantness.
Facing the microphones stretched out and the idiot reporters shouting "readers have the right to know the truth", Tang En really wanted to curse them in Chinese: "Your mother! I love you!"
Fortunately, his rationality didn't let him do this. On the one hand, these ghosts can't understand Chinese at all, and on the other hand, the situation is unclear now, so he doesn't want to cause trouble again.
In the afternoon, Dunn hid at home, found out the phone number of Jack Randy's lawyer, and then called him to inquire about the possible charges he might face.
"I just said, Mr. Tang En, you will become a news person." After listening to Tang En's brief description of what happened, Lawyer Randy on the other end of the phone laughed, not worried about Tang En's situation at all. "Actually, I have learned about your affairs in the newspapers a long time ago. Although you will not think that you have abducted the child yourself, it is meaningless legally. But the crux of the matter is not here, but..."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "Now the media is blaming a professional football coach for allegedly abducting a young girl. I read those photos and reports... Let me ask you a question, Mr. Tang En. You have now received a subpoena from the court Yet?"
Tang En shook his head on the phone: "It's only been a day, how is it possible?"
"Then let me analyze your current situation for Mr. Tang En."
Tang En suddenly interrupted Randy, "Mr. Randy, have you started charging by time?"
Randy over there smiled and said: "No, Mr. Tang En. This is a free dessert to thank you for allowing me to see a good show in the Football Association. Alright, let's continue that topic. If the girl If the relationship between the child and you is as harmonious as you said, I don’t think you need to worry about anything. First, the girl’s parents should decide whether to sue you, not her British aunt; second, the comparison of international prosecutions Trouble, if they must sue you, they must come to the UK to fight this lawsuit with you... Honestly, the girl is very happy with your life, so why should her parents travel all the way to the UK to sue you What? When you returned the child to her parents, she was healthy and happy, and not a single part was missing... wasn't it?"
Tang En hummed.
"I don't think any sane person would consider suing you. If you hadn't taken in that girl, who knows where they'd have to find their children now? Please remember, sir: Although legally speaking, your actions can It counts as abduction. But if the other party does not plan to prosecute you, or if the court does not accept the prosecution, you are not guilty until you receive a subpoena. Of course, if the other party does decide to prosecute you, there is no need to worry, I will Be your attorney to defend you. In addition, Mr. Tang En, I have a little suggestion..."
"Well?"
"If the girl's family isn't planning to sue you, you might start thinking about suing the media that's done you a disservice - actually I've always hated The Sun. At that point, I'd be more than happy to be your lawyers... but not for free."
Tang En laughed out loud, because the bad mood of the "sue" rumors being messed up was wiped out immediately. "That's a great idea, Lawyer Randy! Yes, I'll consider this plan." He gently lifted the curtains, looked at the reporters who were still guarding outside, and nodded.
He has been tormented by the all-pervasive media these days, but he was amused by Randy's words.
After hanging up the phone, Tang En looked at the Totoro doll on the bedside. In fact, he didn't like this kind of fluffy doll, but he still kept it in his bedroom. The cute chinchilla is incompatible with this bedroom full of strong male hormones.
He didn't know why he did it, maybe he just dropped it here and forgot to take it away... or something else?
Uncle Tony? Uncle Tony! Uncle Tony...
Tang En tilted his head, but he didn't hear anything.
The crisp and sweet calling has gradually faded away.
