Only Brosnan did not find it strange at all. Because this was the Tony Twain he knew. A professional manager with rich emotions and a little impulsive … who sometimes behaved immaturely. He was already 35, but he still looked like a young lad of 26 or 27, about the same age as himself.
"As for the serious consequences, I think everyone saw it yesterday. If the chairman of Millwall must find an excuse for his team's fiasco, I suggest he go to the Millwall fans who sang in the stands yesterday. That's them asking for trouble! Saying that the riot was caused by my fans after losing the game? I'll let him touch his conscience and repeat those words again. Let's see if he dares to do so! A man who does not even dare to take responsibility for failure, and in order to vent his anger, he can invert right and wrong and take his anger out on others. With such a chairman, such a manager … Tsk tsk! "Twain shook his head." It's completely normal for us to be able to beat them by six goals! Why does Millwall's new home stadium, Newden Stadium, have the away stands connected to the train station? I think this chairman must know very well in his heart. He must also know very well what kind of people their fans are. "
Not only did the chairman know, but the reporters in the room also knew. Millwall's Newden Stadium was a new stadium built in the 1990s. The problem of Millwall's football hooligans was fully considered when it was designed, so the away fans' stands were designed in the southeast. Through a passage, they could go directly from the stands to the train station next door and buy tickets to go home. It made it convenient for the away fans to evacuate the stadium as soon as possible.
Millwall's football hooligans were famous throughout the United Kingdom, so there was such a stadium design.
"If Mr. Paphitis thinks he's been insulted for no reason and wants to sue me. Then I'll seriously consider suing him and Alan McFly for slandering the Nottingham Forest fans and the club! "
Just as Twain finished speaking, Evan Doughty, who was sitting next to him, took over. "Sue them in the name of the club. Please rest assured that we're not joking or speaking out of anger. If Mr. Teo Paphitis and Alan McFly intend to take the truth that they've reversed to court and play with the law and public trust, our Forest club will be happy to accompany them. "
If it had been six months ago, Evan Doughty would not have had the authority to say such a thing. This kind of decision in the name of the club needed to be approved by the board of directors. Now that he owned 75% of the club's shares, he was the sole owner of the Forest club and he could do whatever he wanted.
Hearing these two people's words, the crowd below began to buzz with discussion. Was this an official declaration of war between Nottingham Forest and Millwall? The paparazzi blood in their hearts was burning! Today's trip was not in vain! Coach Tony Twain, you really did not let us down! With that, the sales volume of the newspaper rose steadily!
"That's all I have to say. Goodbye, everyone! "Twain turned around and left the press conference. He didn't care what kind of trouble his words would bring him. He just had something to say. If he wasn't allowed to say it, he would feel very aggrieved. Now it was all right, because he was happy, and whether Paphitis and Mr. McRally were happy or not was none of his concern.
Brosnan looked at Tang En's back and shook his head. Tony, you're being used by the media!

"Tony, did you see the excited expressions on the reporters' faces?" In Evan Doughty's office, Tang En and he were by the window, watching the reporters walk out of the main door.
"Of course I saw it, Evan. That little man pretended to be very pitiful, baiting me to say what he wanted to hear. He succeeded. "
Evan scratched his head. "I thought you didn't know. What do you think? "
"The media is happy … But I think public opinion is in our favor. As for the rest, I don't think so much. If Millwall really wants to sue me, I won't run away. "
Hearing Tang En say this, Evan laughed. "Don't make yourself out to be a hero, Tony. The club will support you in this matter to the end. I can't just watch and do nothing when it concerns the club's reputation. Tony, do you know? That day at Wilford Lane, after I heard you talk about the relationship between the team's results and the economy, I came up with a very grand plan. Do you want to hear it? "
Tang En retracted his gaze from the window and looked at the smiling Evan. "Tell me about it, Evan."
"It's not clear in two or three sentences … We can have lunch together in the afternoon. It just so happens that Allan is back from America. We'll have a lot to talk about." Evan patted Tang En on the shoulder.
"Your financial adviser?"
"That's right, but he'll soon become the club's marketing manager. He'll be in charge of making money … "Evan did not continue. He smiled at Tang En.
Tang En understood and also smiled. "I'll be in charge of winning."
"Yes, the three of us will work well together, Tony!"

As Pierce Brosnan listened to the recording of the press conference over and over again and sorted out the manuscript, he increasingly felt how prescient the editor in charge was. The explosive statement and the news documentary, which was comparable to a thriller novel, were indeed more eye-catching than the monotonous reports of the other media.
Of course, every word that Tang En said at the press conference was eye-catching enough. Looking at the swear words on the manuscript, Brosnan sighed and deleted them.
As a result, the manuscript was sent back after he submitted it. Puzzled, Brosnan opened the Word document and found that the swear words that he had originally deleted had been added back and highlighted in bold.
He grinned. This must be the work of the editor again. Although doing so might not be good for Tony Twain, he had to admit that the editor could attract the readers' interest this way.
The media's first goal was always to attract the readers' attention … What? You mean the ethics of the journalists? The social responsibility of the news media? Don't joke around, bro. Ever since Murdoch bought The Sun and started the vulgarization of newspapers, he had successfully bought The Times, which was then the "revered" newspaper in the British newspaper industry. He had forcefully turned a newspaper that enjoyed high prestige throughout Europe into The Sun Times, which was on par with third-rate tabloids. To this day, 40 percent of the newspapers in the United Kingdom were controlled by Murdoch. Ethics and responsibility had long been removed from the news lexicon.
Nowadays, editors and reporters who were not attractive enough had to make up stories to publish in the newspapers even if they were not attractive enough. Or they had to carefully plan and cooperate with various parties to seduce the target of the report to put on a play. It sounded like a Hollywood movie, but in the current British news environment, it was the truth.
Brosnan was well aware of this, so he sighed and agreed to the editor's changes. Then he signed his name and sent it up again. This time, it was not rejected. He knew that from this afternoon, a news war between the media had begun again.
Mr. Twain, you really are a "news figure!"
