Ran, she was forced to dress up by Shania, but the two-day vacation was still very pleasant. He really hates being forced to do something, but he also has to divide the object. The little girl forced him to speak...... He didn't mind.

As long as it can make Shania happy, what does that pay for?

Seventeen-year-old Shania has to take on the responsibility of work at a young age, doing a job she doesn't like, and the only time she can make a smile may be with herself.

In front of others, he wants to be a world supermodel, pay attention to his image, pay attention to his words and deeds, and even keep his expression at all times, in order to maintain a perfect image under the gaze from which he doesn't know - this is the perfect image they want, not the real Shania.

Only in front of Donn, in front of the man she calls "Uncle Tony", can she put down those masks and live easily and authentically.

The topic is a little heavy, but it is true.

Donn's two-day vacation is gone by in the blink of an eye, and Shania is going back to Milan, Italy, to continue working.

At London Heathrow, her agent, Mr. Faisal, thanked Don very solemnly for the two days he had spent with Shania.

"Where is the word...... I really want to relax. Don smiled and waved his hand, "With the little girl, you will forget all your troubles." Mr. Faisal, as much as I hate brokers, you are different, you are a good broker. No matter how famous Shania is, she is still a child, please protect her. ”

Fassar nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Donn. The new season is about to begin, and good luck with that. ”

The two men clasped hands together.

Seeing off Shania and Faisal, Donn sits on the steps outside the terminal building and calls the taxi driver, Randy, to pick him up.

Hanging up the phone, Don sat bored on the steps and looked up at the sky.

Maybe it's really time to buy yourself a car?

A huge roar rang out, and a silver-white plane flew through the sky directly above Donn's head.

The idea of buying a car had only been on Donn's mind for an afternoon. When he went to the training base with Don the next morning, he felt that it was better to walk, on the one hand, to exercise, and on the other hand, he could think about problems while walking, without worrying about car accidents.

The first thing to do when you get back to training is to deal with transfers. Anelka has yet to find a suitable new owner. Viduka's agent has informed the club that his client wants a transfer. The reason is simple, and Donn understands: there is no place for Viduka in the Forest team today. He didn't want to play as a substitute. So walking away is the best option.

Viduka knew very well that when the club bought Ruud van Nistelrooy, he knew that there would be no place for him in this team. If he plays as a substitute, he can't accept it, after all, he is still in his playing years.

Donn also knows that with Van Nistelrooy and Bendtner, Viduka has less and less room to survive. Let him go, and he can earn a transfer fee, which is not bad.

Middlesbrough want to bring in Viduka and they are offering £5 million. Don didn't say a word and refused.

Viduka is also the main striker of the Forest team in the first two seasons, and the Forest team can have today's results, and Viduka's efforts are also inseparable. The second-best striker in England is only worth £5 million? Don couldn't take it.

However, he did not close the doors and windows of the transfer, but left Middlesbrough with the opportunity to continue to bargain, and he hoped that Middlesbrough would continue to increase the offer. If you are really sincere with Viduka, please make a sincere offer!

At that time, Nottingham Forest paid six million pounds for Viduka, and it was going to be sold, what happened...... It can't be lower than that.

Donne's criterion is less than £6 million.

After some haggling, an agreement was reached between the two sides, with Middlesbrough paying £4 million and then another £2.5 million over 12 months, for a total of £6.5 million, for their long-desired Australian centre-forward Mark Brown. Viduka.

Next, Don will add Chris. Commons is on loan at Watford, who have just been promoted from the top division, and it is hoped that Commons will get enough playing time there. In order to appease Cummons, Donn also specifically offered him a new four-year contract before deciding to send him out on loan. The pay is not very high in the team, and it is mainly to show the confidence and commitment of the team in him – you will still be a member of Nottingham Forest for the next four years.

Matthew is not the only one being sold. Epson and Mark. Viduka, as well as Forest's second substitute goalkeeper Barry. Roche, who was sold to Championship side Leicester City for £2.7 million. With Akinfeev returning a year later, there is no place for the goalkeeper at Nottingham Forest.

After cleaning up these necessary redundant personnel, Don achieved the goal of streamlining the team's personnel and improving combat effectiveness at the same time. Those who remain now must be powerful

Players. Nottingham Forest, who has more than 30 registered players in the current three-man squad and the English club, can be described as a "small team". But Donn is convinced that these twenty-three people are all good players, and there are no people with him to eat, and those who stay will definitely be useful to the team.

Just finished streamlining the team, George. Wood's agent came back to the door.

'I'm not here to inform the club that George is going to move, although I know the team has sold some people recently. Sitting on the sand in Donn's office, agent Wooks crossed Erlang's legs and said leisurely, "Now that the Forest team is so good, a fool would consider a transfer." ”

That's the truth.

"However, as we all know, there are many big clubs in European football that are bullish on Wood. But Wood refused them all...... So. Wools put down Erlang's legs, stopped his waist, and said very seriously, "In order to repay George's loyal behavior, shouldn't the club show it?" ”

After hearing this, Don replied quietly: "Okay, how about giving him a carton of milk tomorrow for welfare?" ”

"Tony. Mr. Donne! Woolks raised his voice.

"If you want to raise your salary, just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush." Don scoffed at Wooks' attitude.

Wools cocked Erlang's legs again: "It's good that you know." If you want to keep an important player in the team, then you need to improve his treatment and make him feel that his efforts are directly proportional to his gains. ”

"I think George is happy with his current income."

"That's what you think." "I think he's being paid too little right now." You don't know what the salary of a player selected for the national team is, right, Mr. Donn? ”

Generally speaking, once a player is successfully selected for the national team, even if he does not play a game, his value will rise under the operation of the agent. Remuneration for advertising endorsements, salaries and bonuses within the team must be raised. That's what Wooks is doing today.

"Last season's second-place in the English League, the captain of the runners-up team in the European Champions Cup, selected for the England national team, participated in the World Cup in Germany, the most indispensable figure in the team, the only core that cannot be rotated...... Is it worth fifteen thousand pounds a week? It's going to make you laugh out loud, Mr. Donne. "Wools is sharp-tongued, and he is not inferior to Don in terms of lip service." When you're spending a lot of money on one big star after another in the transfer market, don't you think about giving a new commitment to the hardest working and most important people in the team? ”

Don stared at Woods and didn't answer right away.

He had to admit it in his heart – it was unassailable. He could barely find a reason to refute it.

"But we've just updated the contract......"

"It doesn't matter, the value of a player is always fluctuating, and who of us could have predicted George to be where he is a year ago? We obviously underestimated his abilities, and therefore undervalued him. Now, it's time to correct that mistake. ”

Don sighed, although this agent was hateful, but he didn't ask George to consider a transfer away. Regardless, Wood is the most important person for Forest right now, the team and his future. Evan has also said that if Wood is tempted by the outside world, then he must be kept no matter what the cost.

The £15,000-a-week salary is indeed too low for Wood......

"Well, make your request, Count Woods the vampire."

Hearing such sarcasm, Billy. Instead of being annoyed, Woolks smiled and reported his request: "Seventy-five thousand pounds, weekly salary." ”

Despite his mental preparation, Don took a breath when he heard the number.

"You're surprised, Mr. Donne?" Woolks tilted his head to look at Donn, "I think that number is reasonable. Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently the highest paid member of the team at £85,000. Shouldn't the captain of the team be treated almost equally? ”

"Do I want to thank you for not asking for a £140,000-a-week salary in one go?" Don sneered.

"I don't want to upset your club's salary balance." Woolx replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your interest in the club's finances." Don said with a straight face. "But now it's no longer my responsibility to negotiate player contracts." He lied, and it occurred to him that someone was better suited to deal with the insatiable guy in front of him than himself. "Especially the contracts of important players."

"Huh?"

"About George. Wood asks for a raise for something you can go to Allen. Mr. Adams talks. He's in his office right now, and I'd love for you to go to him. ”

Looking at Don's smiling expression, Woods knew that this was Donn's strategy. But even if he knew, Don obviously didn't want to talk to him about it, but he didn't refuse, just someone else.

As a player's agent, and as a successful person who has made achievements in the mall,

Nottingham Forest's current marketing manager has heard of an easy figure to deal with. It seems that the Forest team does not want to pay that money so easily.

Woolks was stunned, and Don picked up the phone and gave it to Alan. Adams dialed in and told him about it. Alan promised to leave it to him to deal with.

"Billy. Mr. Witches. Donn put down the phone and said to Wood's agent, "I've informed Alan. Mr. Adams, he wants you to go to the office and talk to him about it now. ”

What else can be done at this point? Do you turn around and leave, and don't talk about a raise? That's not going to work. Woolks decided to meet that Ellen.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to give Donn a thumbs up: "Beautiful pass, Mr. Donn." ”

Don smiled and waved his hand: "Thanks for the compliment." Goodbye, Mr. Woods. ”

Kick the ball of Wood's salary increase to Allen. After Adams, Don didn't care, his mind was on leading the team in training and the last two warm-up games.

It's just around the corner.

Billy. Wooks and Allen. Adams' negotiations were supposed to be slow, and Allen didn't seem to be in a hurry to reach a deal with Woods, who had a few years left on his contract anyway. The attitude of the club is that of course the salary increase should be increased, but it is not so high. To put it bluntly, the Forest team is not a big team that can spend a lot of money now, and the salary structure of the players must be strictly controlled.

Woods, on the other hand, felt that the team was not sincere. If you're so mean to your future captain, can you ask them to be generous to other players?

The two sides were at a stalemate until the media suddenly exposed George. Wood is in contract extension talks with the club.

Don wasn't interested in this dog-eat-dog topic at first, he only cared about George. Wood's form in training has not been affected. But soon he realized he was wrong.

The media exposure was an act of Woods' instigation, and he wanted to make a big deal out of it, not just for Wood, but for the whole team - how does Nottingham Forest treat the players who play for her?

If Woods is allowed to succeed, then at the juncture when the new season is about to come, an unstable situation will appear, and the morale of the team will be badly affected. That's not what Don wanted to see.

This hand was unexpected by Donn and Allen, and it was also quite beautiful......

The media is always very good at mixing things, and it is not easy to mix things up once they get involved. The sub-club must then agree to Wooks' request.

Don also wants to get this matter done before the start of the new season, so that this mess does not affect the team's preparations.

Eventually, the two sides finally reached an agreement. George. Wood signed a new contract with the team, and his weekly salary rose from 15,000 to 70,000 pounds, which was 5,000 pounds less than originally requested, but Woods didn't care, he was happy with the result, and Allen remembered the guy.

Aside from the fact that a new contract was finally agreed, Donn was relieved that, as if it had nothing to do with Wood, the kid was completely unaffected. If you had to ask Wood what he thought about a raise, he would have the experience of throwing all the questions at his agent — "Please ask my agent." If you ask him how he feels in training, he will say "it feels good, everything is fine". This obviously does not satisfy the media, but it can satisfy Donn.

After following Vux for a year, I did learn something...... I know how to deal with it. When he looked at the memory, it was obvious that he was not in the same embarrassment.

August 13, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

League champions Chelsea lost 2-1 to Cup winners Lee in the Charity Shield: The final warm-up game before the new season is over.

In his post-match interview, Mourinho was full of ambition about the defeat: "I think it's a good sign. The league title for the new season is still ours for Chelsea. The league has won three times in a row, and we have to make a new breakthrough in the Champions Cup. ”

This is the defending champion's declaration for the new season. Thanks to Da's live TV broadcast, the managers of the other 19 teams in England heard his bold words.

No one would agree with that. Jose Mourinho has pushed his team to the forefront, and he wants to be a hitter, but it depends on whether his opponents give him that chance......

The next day, in Donn's column, he announced his team's goals for the new season:

Jose Mourinho said his team was going to make a new breakthrough in the Champions League this season and I regret he was such a gutsy man...... Our goal for the new season is to win the European Champions Cup. I know what you're going to say, but you read that right, our goal for the new season is that damn Champions League winner. What is mine is mine, and it took my ...... last season It's time to spit it out.
