I really think you guys should just make De Zerbi the highest (or top 3 ) highest paid manager in the league, with all your profits from sales, you can pay him an extortionate amount to keep him around.

Worked for Simeone with Atletico.

"If your daughter came home and said she was going to marry Roberto De Zerbi you'd worry that she wasn't good enough for him"

We used to say that about Calderon, it's that times 100 with RDZ.
Could you imagine dating his daughter (if he has one?!)? How intimidating would that be?! You'd just feel permanently inferior and a failure, it would crush you!

I hear what your saying but I’m nervous about the “our soul” bit
As in "America has their soul singers. In England we have our soul singers"?

He really does just get it, doesn't he? You could tell from reading some of the quotes (translated from Italian) from his career prior to joining that he has a wonderful way with words. Now his English is getting better and better, I'll expect there'll be many more brilliant soundbites of this ilk to come.
Swansman, late of this parish, said he has 'a golden mouth'.

True story.

There’s a local coach company near us called SOULS of Olney founded by a guy called Fred Souls. Later in life his son Robert took over the firm but made the mistake of putting his initial in front so it became R SOULS of Olney.
Just looked it up for a bit of proof and their about page he’s just called ‘Bob’
