A week passed, and after settling things with O'Neill, Richard began executing his plans for City's current youth setup. He had already promised himself to revamp City's Academy and Reserve teams (as mentioned in Chapter 126: Revamping the Academy and Reserve).
At the very least, before City entered the Premier League, he wanted the club to have a well-structured youth development system in place. But for that future to happen, there was still something he needed to do first.
Since both Frank Shepherd and Gordon Barry were busy handling the incident involving O'Neill and the referee, Richard had no choice but to consult Adam Lewis about the execution of the plan.
After arriving with Lewis at J. Lyons and Co.—one of London's older and more upscale restaurants—the two entered without delay.
"Shame this isn't just a pleasant dinner," Richard remarked, glancing around at the elegant atmosphere.
"You could've come alone tomorrow."
