Evan Doughty's satisfactory answer was to get Twain back and return everything to what it was. Everyone could ignore what happened the past two months, and Nottingham Forest could continue to dominate in England and Europe.
But Twain refused to cooperate with him. Naturally, it meant this answer was not satisfactory.
Evan and Allan did not sit idly by in the days following Twain's refusal. They contacted managers everywhere. It did not matter if they were out of a job or already managing a team, they were all on their list. The two of them had to find a new manager for the team. The team's transfer activities and pre-season preparations were at a standstill. If this situation went on, Nottingham Forest's glorious plans for the new season would be all for naught.
Hiddink insisted on a dual role as the Netherlands national team manager too. Otherwise, there was no room for discussion.
McClaren was not interested in being the manager.
