Evan Doughty had not deceived Twain. The next day, all of Nottingham's pro-Forest media gave lots of coverage of the contract renewal. The one with the best relationship with the Forest team, The Nottingham Evening Post, even used the corny caption "The renewal that defines the future" to determine Wood's contract renewal with the Forest team.
The media had not even been this positive when the Forest team had introduced Mikel Arteta a few days ago. It looked like Evan had really put in a lot of effort.
Encouraged by his agent, Billy Woox, George Wood gave an exclusive media interview for the first time. Twain glanced at the news story and knew that Wood's answer was scripted by Woox. The meaning of the words was close enough; his expression just seemed more fluent.
