Hello there, would like to discuss content with you if possible.

As you suggested, i started a WP:FOOTY discussion (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_114#Unai_Emery). As you see, it is indeed customary for football bios to have a PERSONAL LIFE section on its own, either at the start or in the end of the text before the stats and the honours. I am going to relocate that if it isn't too much inconvenience; thus, the player position will have to be relocated to the intro as well.

Also, a personal request: in spite of a user saying in the aforementioned thread that wikilinks of competitions+wikilinks of seasons of competition create too much clutter, i'd like to ask for your permission to reinstate the former (not that anyone needs permission from anyone to edit anything here, i'm just doing that for the sake of interaction and respect) as i feel they create no major overlinking and provide additional information "on the go" (without people having to go to move outside of the page to search for X or Y article). I promise that my changes will leave your wording virtually unchanged and, as it's common practice even though i do not agree with it, the clubs will stay in their compressed form and not written in full; again, if it's too much inconvenience, i won't perform it, but surely we can reach a compromise i believe.
