January 1, 2004, was New Year's Day for the others, the start of a new year. But for Tang En, there was another layer of excitement for him—the winter transfer window was finally open. For the first time, he could experience that feeling of being a manager, running around, brandishing the checkbook everywhere, and signing the players he admired.
Of course, it was inevitable that as he welcomed new players, he also had to send some players off.
Michael Dawson and Andy Reid were leaving for London on that day. With a value of £8,000,000, they were joining the Premier League elite squad, Tottenham Hotspur. There was a small press conference to welcome them.
And 33-year-old Eoin Jess also told Twain that although he was delighted to see Twain back on the Forest Team, he wished to leave the club at the end of this season and return to the team where he first made his debut, Aberdeen, to retire.
