Name the next manager

[GodIsADeeJay81]

How could Pep be crap in Europe? The guy has won the Champions League twice.

The discussion has always been can he do it without the likes of Messi, Xavi etc.

At present no he can't and he's currently the 2nd highest spending manager of all time, just behind Jose until this summer probably, and both are on 2 CL trophies, but 1 behind Zidane, Ancelotti and Paisley.

[NewClaret]

Yes

Or maybe No

Glad that’s cleared up

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Back to the topic, will it be confirmed tomorrow?

Next week of course

[warksclaret]

Touch and go

[ClaretTony]

Back to the topic, will it be confirmed tomorrow?

I don’t think so - probably next week

[bfcjg]

Alan
Loves
Kompany.

[Juan Tanamera]

Definitely maybe.

Not sure about that, they've battered Madrid/PSG in previous seasons, I thought they battered them over 2 legs this season too. I think Liverpool are the 2nd best side in the world, City's reserves almost beat them in the semi final at Wembley.

Nope, you're wrong there. I've checked the two teams playing in the final, and Man City can't have battered Real Madrid because Real Madrid are there.

I'm not denying that City's goalkeeper played better passes than Real's. I'm more than happy to concede that Ederson gave an absolute masterclass in passing that Courtois could only stand back and admire. It's just a shame that when it came to the other function of goalkeepers, that of stopping the ball from entering the net, Real performed that trivial function a little better than City did.

And level with Clough. I wonder which is harder - winning the CL twice with Barcelona, or winning it twice with Nottingham Forest? Clue - no-one else has done it with Forest.

i’m expecting Vincent to be planning his summer transfers and talking to some of the players before they go on holiday. The legal confirmation may take time but if it is virtually done and dusted I would expect him to be cracking on. Things can still go wrong but I would consider that unlikely now.

[Quicknick]

Ive just read a Mail Online article which suggests they don't think the move would be good for him.

Paper talk in Scotland of Shaun Maloney as potential assistant to Kompany this morning

[claptrappers_union]

He was dreadful at Hibs

[Claretitus]

He was dreadful at Hibs

OBE at Hibs. Out Before Easter.

[eastcoastclaret]

He was dreadful at Hibs

He's a better coach

[RVclaret]

Maloney would be a decent appointment. Knows the league, was assistant to Martinez at Belgium and sounds like a better coach than manager.

[claptrappers_union]

As manager, players and staff hated him, he went above his station and hired his own PA and had a huge bust up with the chairman in front of all the players. He wasn’t there long. Bad apple

Why would Dundee be after hiring him as manager then? (not saying that's incredible btw just that it's surprising he'd be in another job so soon after).

[2 Bee Holed]

It's not
'Where's Wally?'

It's
'Where's Vinny?'

A really poor article. Scaremongering by someone who really doesn’t know the ins and outs.

[It Is What It Is]

Has anybody seen any evidence at all that Kompany is interested in the BURNLEY job? A lot of press and media talk, but heard nothing from him, his agent, the club etc.
Has he been seen anywhere near Alan Pace or the Turf at all?

[ClaretAndJew]

No, but then there's no real evidence around anything in football, except from the same sources.

[Tricky Trevor]

Most people see Kompany as an exciting appointment but as soon as an article says he wants Maloney for his coach the knives are out.
Kompany has been coached by him at very high international level. If he considers him good enough that will do for me.

[Gordaleman]

I think Kompany would be great. He certainly knows how to win and with his connections to City, he might be able to bring in a few players from there. (On loan at least.)


Meanwhile, I belive that the 'Horse botherers' are looking to bring in Klopp's younger brother, Klipperty.

I'm guessing this is what is holding the confirmation and announcement up, he will want to speak to the players and especially the group he wishes to keep, there will be 3 or 4 of the ooc, and 3 or 4 of the one's being touted for moves, and obviously I'd guess this is what he'll want to build he's team around, plus a hand full of free transfers, and possibly 1 or 2 may be persuaded to follow him from anderlecht, this plus the ones still in contract, loans from city and 2 or 3 maybe from our u18/23s and we'll be ready to go, doom and gloom lifted, assault on the championship, hopefully.

[Tricky Trevor]

Before we get too excited remember Martin Buchan and Chris Waddle!!

[IanMcL]

Probably agent to club negotiators at present.

The key will be when the chairman and the new manager are seen in each other's Kompany!

[Roosterbooster]

CT seems to think something is going on. That's good enough for me

[Nori1958]

Not sure about Buchan, but Waddle had zilch experience of being a manager, you cannot say that about Kompany

[Firthy]

Can you be a bit more vague please "something is going on" is a bit too descriptive

[Woodleyclaret]

Burnley FC operate on East Lancs time, its sorted very slowly. Frustrating for those expecting instant news.When we moved to Nelson we realised the shop opening and closing times had little basis in reality.Sometimes they never opened at all.

[tiger76]

Well the fact that Kompany has left Anderlecht would suggest he's got another position lined up, and all the talk in the press is mentioning him coming to Burnley.

So if he doesn't arrive there's going to be plenty of folk in the media with red faces.

I understand we're all eager for news, but these appointments often take time to finalise.

[jedi_master]

Various good sources (Romano, the chap from the Mirror, Nicolo Schira etc) have said Kompany has been speaking to us for quite a while, and CT even said on here he had interviewed a while ago too. It seems to have been brewing for ages. Too much smoke at this point, and then (as tiger has said above) the fact Kompany has physically quit his job...

[jdrobbo]

We’ll be in good Kompany by next week, just as the club have said

[pushpinpussy]

Before we get too excited remember Martin Buchan and Chris Waddle!!

at last someone on this forum with common sense. lets hope this delay is due to him not accepting the contract so we can get a established manager in and not someone due to his status. fingers crossed.

Aye....Ring Sean

[mkmel]

So pushpinpussy you want Sam Allardyce or Steve Bruce?

[Steve1956]

And apologise

[tiger76]

No he wants Bilic, but I'm not even sure if Bilic has been approached, or if he's even interested in a return to England.

Kompany is a risk, but that applies to any managerial appointment, and I'd rather we went down a different route than the usual suspects.

What's the point of potting Dyche if we're just going to appoint a Dyche clone, we need a complete fresh mindset, and hopefully that's what VK will bring to the table, along with his contacts and modern thinking.

[eastcoastclaret]

Twitter seems to have woken up in last hour, announced today seems to be gaining some traction. Bringing some of his coaching staff with him from Anderlecht.

Hopefully something in it

[2 Bee Holed]

Both came straight out of playing into managing Burnley.
So no management experience whatsoever.
Buchan lasted what, 3 months?
Waddle lasted a season, and what a season that was.
Anderlecht have finished third in the top Belgian division. He's been there a while.

If you are going off ‘Brad Jones Journo’ - its probably best to ignore, he/she is a complete fake weirdo.

EDIT: RVclaret answered that one so you can ignore the below! ha


Not sure of how reliable this guy is, could be one of those pretend Twitter journalists but thought i'd share anyway.

Regarding Anderlecht I think his contract came to an end and there was talk of the club not giving him a new one. So he could have left without having a club lined up. That said, I still think he will join us

I think he'd 2yrs left on his contract, but they didn't fight to keep him

Twitter is great, but if someone is full of s**t and you still follow them for info, then its not useful at all as a news source
