As the sun dipped behind the skyline, casting a warm glow over the Britannia Inter-Continental London, Richard stood quietly on the grass, hands in his coat pockets. But this wasn't just any training field — it was, in fact, a repurposed garden lawn behind the hotel, usually reserved for peaceful strolls and private events.
When Richard first acquired the hotel, he didn't just buy the main building — he also purchased the adjacent property next to it, allowing him to own the entire block. That decision, once seen as excessive, turned out to be a masterstroke.
Now, whenever Manchester City's squad traveled to London, this hotel became their home base. And thanks to Richard's foresight, the garden was sealed off and transformed into a temporary training ground, exclusive to the City first team.
As Richard watched the coaching staff set up the pitch and the equipment staff roll out cones and goals, he allowed himself a quiet nod.
