Chapter 139

The warm-up match for Notts County in the new season has not yet started, and the eyes of the media are all focused on the Premier League teams at this time.

Each club cleans up a few players in the transfer market, and recruits a few more players. Whether they can make a breakthrough in the new season or just hope to avoid relegation, the media are all looking at it from the perspective that readers want to see Doing analysis and forecasting.

As for the League One where Notts County is located, although it has not received as much attention as the Premier League, it is completely different from League Two.

Many media regard Portsmouth, Ipswich Town and Leicester City, the three clubs that were relegated from the Premier League last season, as the hot candidates for the Super League, but Notts County's magical and powerful newly promoted team is also generally optimistic. , and even its fiery depth far exceeds that of the city's rival Nottingham Forest.

This kind of tone of the media made the chairman of Nottingham Forest, Dalgety, very upset.

Nottingham Forest has always been a representative club in Nottinghamshire. Although it is declining now, it has also won the Champions League twice, and was one of the top teams in England's top league before. A club can be compared.

But that traditional pride was swept away last season.

The strong rise of Notts County immediately stole the limelight from Nottingham Forest, and now the citizens of Nottinghamshire are talking more about Notts County than Nottingham Forest.

In all fairness, Dalgetty has also paid a lot for Nottingham, and the funds invested in the past few years have been counted in the hundreds of millions, but the key problem is that these funds have not brought the matching returns. It doesn't sound like such a bad money, but it is still half-dead in the League One. There is no danger of relegation, but no hope of promotion.

Fans criticized Dalgety for not being a professional club president. He didn't understand football, otherwise how could he spend money without hearing the sound!

Look at Notts County next door. After one season, it has been doing well. It has not only been promoted to League One and Nottingham Forest are on the same starting line in the new season, but also won the League Cup. Representing England in European competitions.

You know, Nottingham Forest has not gone abroad for many years!

In the face of all kinds of questioning and criticism, Dalgety is really dumb and suffers a lot. To say that he doesn't love the club is pure nonsense, but the problem is that sometimes you don't just have money and a heart that loves the club. Get the club right, if everything was that simple, the world would already be a wonderful place.

Last season, Dougherty often insinuated and even directly attacked Notts County in interviews with the media many times, but in the end he was always slapped in the face by Notts County with excellent results.

This season, he couldn't help but want to have more contact with Notts County, but this time the media's turmoil seemed to be a fuse, directly igniting the jealousy and resentment accumulated in Dalgety's heart.

"It's so ridiculous!"

When Dougherty was interviewed, his first reaction was to laugh loudly: "League One and League Two are completely different concepts, and they shouldn't even be compared together. You know, the newly promoted horses over the years are in the League One. But it is very difficult to achieve any good results, the biggest possibility is to return to the second division after studying for a year!"

"Notts County spent a lot of money on signings last season, and relied on this unappreciated signing method to rush to the League One League, but I think the cruel truth will tell Notts County chairman Pavis , League One is not a house-playing game, and it is not a place where you will surely succeed if you spend a lot of money.”

"Besides, we haven't seen Notts County have any big money in the transfer market this season. Obviously, this shows a problem, that is, Notts County is no longer aggressive. They feel that they can reach the League One. The positioning of the club can explain something to the fans, such a club with no ambition, how can you expect them to achieve any good results in League One!"

"Another point is that Notts County picked up the pie that fell from the sky by mistake last season and qualified for the UEFA Cup this season. Although I don't think they will go very far in the UEFA Cup, they have always A club at the level of the English League Two is going to compete with various strong teams in Europe. In the end, it will definitely be beaten to the ground. Once there is a rout, the blow to the confidence of the entire club will be huge. It may lead to a series of chain reactions, and League One will also collapse."

"I think the media's perception of Notts County does not conform to objective laws. In my opinion, the task of Notts County in the new season is not to be promoted in the League One, nor is it to go as far as possible in the UEFA Cup. They are farther away, let alone hope to continue to make a difference in domestic cup competitions. Their biggest goal should be to relegation in the league. Although it seems that the hope is still slim, it is better to work hard than to do nothing. Go back to the Second Division as a disgrace!"

When the "Nottingham Post" published Dougherty's words in the newspaper, although it did not cause any impact in England, it caused an uproar in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding area.

First of all, 1 Notts County fans were dissatisfied.

Although he is a sworn enemy in the same city, he wished that the other party would go to hell, but there must always be a bottom line.

If our side is really in trouble, you don’t want to save yourself or even make trouble, but you come here to mock and hate for no reason. Didn’t your face swell up last season?

After the reborn David took over, Notts County did not regard Nottingham Forest as an opponent of equal status, so although the fans still regard Nottingham as a deadly enemy, they are not as superficial as before.

But Dalgety kept talking about it again and again, causing some trouble for Notts County if he had nothing to do. Do you really think you can't be dealt with?

Look at the matches in the league at that time, and teach you how to be a man every minute!

For Dougherty's remarks, it's okay for Notts County fans to be dissatisfied. What makes him depressed is that even Nottingham Forest fans are dissatisfied with him as the chairman.

If you look at the rival club, they have been promoted to League One and are at the same level as me. In the new season, they are even eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup. Sitting at the Meadow Lane Stadium, you can watch the club and the major European powerhouses Fighting against each other, how many years has Nottingham Forest experienced this kind of scenery?

Now you just look at others going smoothly and are jealous, and you spend all your time talking about it. Can you focus on how to make Nottingham Forest rise again?

Otherwise, when Notts County is really promoted next season, Nottingham Forest is still in the League One. They are still alive!
