"Another player?" Richard let out a tired sigh as John called to inform him that O'Neill was requesting yet another reinforcement—this time, a midfielder.
"Coordinate with O'Neill," Richard said. "If possible, try to find a loan deal so we can keep the club's expenses dow—" He paused, a thought crossing his mind.
"John, check my scouting database. Look for a French player named Patrick Vieira from AS Cannes and send the details to O'Neill. He's currently playing in France's Division One."
"Division One? Do you really think they'd let one of their players go to our club?"
Richard replied calmly, "Just try. Patrick and I already know each other. You know me—I always keep tabs on players I've had ties with. Besides, I've heard AS Cannes is under investigation by the DNCG."
DNCG or Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion, the organization responsible for monitoring and overseeing the accounts of professional association football clubs in France.
