Roman has a crystal ball stored next to the exercise suite for his tiny giraffe. In moments of stress, he consults it for guidance.
Roman: “George, I need some advice… here’s the situation (reviews Juve debacle)â€
Crystal ball: “I feel your pain, Roman. Let me put it this way. When it was time to bring Billy back, I just had to swallow my pride and do it. We kept him off the hooch for awhile, and we had some of the best years I can remember, from a managerial standpoint. However, you know that eventually it’ll end just like the first time. You’ll have some more trophies to keep you warm, though.â€
Roman: “What you’re saying then, is that we need somebody special.â€
Crystal ball: “In this case, he’s not just the special one – he’s the only one.â€
Roman: (looking skyward) “It’s a sign. The die is cast.â€
