Twain's fight with the reporters in the hotel did not cause his holidays to return to him. Instead, it only caused his holidays to leave him further behind.
News about how he berated the Chinese Football Association and got into a duel of words with the reporters during the press conference surfaced on numerous media platforms. No matter where he walked, he would always run into reporters or football fans. Some of them were friendly toward him while others longed for him to die.
It was said that the Chinese Football Association was so enraged by Tony Twain's comments that they specially phoned Nottingham Forest Football Club to protest. However, Nottingham Forest Football Club's reply to them was, "Mr. Tony Twain does not represent our football club when he is out on holiday. The comments he makes during his personal time have nothing to do with our football club."
