Richard was happy that his investment in United States had started to show success, but he didn't expect to be suddenly hit with two pieces of bad news.
Rivaldo had signed a verbal agreement with PSV.
Patrick Vieira had decided to accept AC Milan's offer.
"Damn you, John!!!"
Before coming to the United States for business, Richard had already told John to handle the issue with O'Neill, who was requesting another midfielder.
Naturally, Richard had recommended Patrick Vieira—the one he trusted and knew well. He never expected Vieira's mother to suddenly call him about her son wanting to join AC Milan.
If things turn out this way, then Vieira will follow his original timeline—joining AC Milan before eventually moving to Arsenal.
In Italy, he'll end up making only five first-team appearances for the club. So, wouldn't it be better for him to come to Man City instead of wasting a year drifting aimlessly at AC Milan?
