Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
On a final list of four apparently. Includes Vinny, Poch, Nagelsmann and another not known (although it’s not Enrique).

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Would be nice to put the uncertainty to bed. Chelsea of old would go for the biggest name looking to win things immediately . Is this the case now?

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Chelsea is only an attractive job if you want the pay off from the inevitable sacking, much like when Abramovich was there.
They hired an up and coming manager, then signed any player they could, instead of what they needed and sacked the manager when it got tough thinking he was to blame.
Going there would harm the career of any other up and coming manager now.

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Why would he go to Chelsea? Only need to look at certainly their last 2- Potter and Tuchel, maybe Lampard before them, to know that if it’s not instant winning nearly every game, it’s goodnight Vienna, then where would he go? Certainly not Man City.

Tuchel didn’t do too badly out of it with now being at Bayern. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Potter get a top 10 club when he returns too.Claretitus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 2:55 pmWhy would he go to Chelsea?

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Chelsea are the new Watford
Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Tbf, Tuchel, was the only good manager they've employed in recent times. Lampard and Potter woefully out of their depth at that level.Claretitus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 2:55 pmWhy would he go to Chelsea?

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Would be a bizarre move for both parties.
Chelsea is not the place for a young, upcoming project manager who needs time as Potter just found out.
Also, as much as I love Vinny, if I was Chelsea I’d be wanting someone with more experience managing a top club first. Nagelsmann and Pochettino are both ahead of him in the running anyway it seems (and rightly so).

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
I won't get into whether it's likely he'll go to Chelsea. We've done that to death on the Spurs links. Assuming he genuinely is being considered for these huge jobs though, it is interesting how in relative inexperience is forgiven for the right "style".
I've loved every minute of this season and hope Kompany is with us for a good few years yet, but relative to Sean Dyche, he's only had one good managerial season so far in his career. Dyche was very rarely linked with top jobs, despite some absolutely fantastic seasons with us. I think Sunderland was the biggest link/closest he ever came to going. Clearly they aren't in the same stratosphere as Spurs and Chelsea.
If the worst happens and he does leave for one of these top jobs this summer, I really hope he isn't chewed up and spat out like so many young managers before him.

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
This is exactly why I think he won't just jump at the first opportunity that comes his way. The guy is way too level-headed. He will have his career path in his mind and I don't think he'll put that in jeopardy for short term gain. If he goes to a big club too soon and fails, he's not going to get another shot.agreenwood wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 3:26 pmIf the worst happens and he does leave for one of these top jobs this summer, I really hope he isn't chewed up and spat out like so many young managers before him.
Look at Gerrard - Liverpool is the end goal, had some success at Rangers (arguably a similar-ish level to us), made the jump too soon and now the best thing he gets linked is the Poland job??

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
He’d have to be off his rocker to go there now, he seems very sensible and level headed but I keep thinking I have seen it all in football and keep getting proven wrong.
Nagelsmann is similar age but has been coaching all this career and in senior football at the top level for over 7 years, whereas Frankie is 7 years older than Vincent. Even those two would be out of their depth at Chelsea and Nagelsmann has just done Bayern.
VK is hyper confident but that can be a failing not just a strength. I hope he makes the right decision were there a decision to be made.

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Vinnie us a deep thinker. Doubt very much this would appeal to him. Needs to see how his team compete with the big boys next season. If they have some success he will possibly leave us for the big bucks at the end of next season. Also our Owners./ Board are not messing around they've got big plans and would likely make another good appointment should Vinnie choose to leave us at any point.

They sacked Moreno in his prime, then sacked him again. Some of the biggest names in management have been shown the door there. I sometimes wonder if even Pep could have survived that firing culture

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
I’m convinced there’s a succession plan at The Etihad…..
“Do a job at Burnley, Vince, and when Pep moves on it’s yours. If Pep’s retirement from the role is dragging on, and you’re done at Burnley, go to an interim position - we don’t care where - and then come here when Pep retires”
He’s a blue… his family are blues. He came here to be in Manchester. He’s not going anywhere soon, or if it does, it will be an Everton or Leeds, or maybe Wolves, all of which he can commute to

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
I'd be absolutley amazed if he's on the shortlist and he's not communicated some interest lets be honest here
A lot is down to what a good job he's done in a ridiculous short space of time, plus the drastic and very successful change of style, and the high turnover of players
But there is a massive difference between doing that with us and doing that with a massively bloated squad like Chelsea and with a fan base/owners who won't give him any sort of sensible time scale to do it in
Saying that, its a hell of an opportunity for him at this stage of his career
Whatever decision he makes, then I'm sure he's thought through all the implications and if he does go, then he's left us in a very good position

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
Top 6 clubs normally get their fingers burned when appointing a manager not proven at the very highest level.
They cannot afford to spend a season hovering in mid table whilst the new manager “learns on the job”.
Graham Potter a case in point.

Busy man if this is true by the way. Was in Berkshire with the team until the early evening last Saturday and in France Sunday morning for the lunchtime KO at Lille.
Not saying he couldn’t have fitted in a 3 hour phone call with Chelsea on Saturday night, but seems a bit far fetched given his itinerary.

Chelsea
Tottenham
West Ham
Leicester
Leeds
Southampton
Notts Forest
Crystal Palace
That is quite a lot of clubs, and those that stay up will be quite interested in VK one would think

All of the other teams, like Stoke and Bolton and Portsmouth and a hundred others before them, are only a bad season away from relegation and potentially decades out of the top division.
Once you are in and amongst the rest there is no time for projects, or learning, or patience, because the money is so important and teams with a decade of top flight football will be paying some of their players 100k a week with no relegation clauses. I'm fairly sure that VK will have a free hit of a season next year without fear of the sack if we're bottom at christmas. His career won't be over if he relegates us. It might be over if he gets Chelsea finishing 12th.
I could see him keeping us up, and if he does so comfortably and Eddie Howe fails to get Champions League football or a cup win or whatever delusion the Toon are operating under at that moment in time, going to Newcastle. There he could show how he can spend big money and overachieve with a smaller club than City before ultimately taking on the City job.

Great that Chelsea have been so open and honest about the situation. So they’ve considered options and come down to a list of 4 and sent out these details to be published in the press etc. nice that they want us all to know about the details. Really?
Or the alternative :
The press gave just printed a complete and utter load of ballcocks?

Re: Kompany on Chelsea Shortlist
If VK spends another season at Burnley and is given sufficient funds to bring in new players, top clubs will be watching on to see how he adapts from the Championship to the PL and whether his playing style and tactics are just as effective.
Burnley finishing bottom of the table will hardly enhance his career prospects.
