Kompany to Bayern Munich?

[Grahamjack]

Can I clarify something as a supporter for over 40 years. I want Kompany gone 6 months ago.

I am happy this man s happening!! I hope the players shafted feel as angry as I do and want to come back into the fold and prove him wrong!!!!

I am angry that such a failure can just walk away into a job with such stature in football!

This to me sums up where the game has got to!! It’s not about football it’s about talking the talk!!

Unfortunately that’s the situation we are currently in throughout all jobs in this country!! Talk the talk don’t bother walking the walk!!!

[blatherwickstattoos]

Ben mee player manager with Roy hodgson as his assistant to start with. That’s my wildcard shout. We will end up with robins I think though

Is it maybe possible that someone at Bayern is a little better informed than you?

Exciting times are back

[burnley007]

Danny Rohl or Fabregas seem like the best options.

[GetIntoEm]

I think it'll be robins, I hope not. There'll be something behind that weird link last week

[Grahamjack]

More informed????

Get a grip ffs have you watched this season and seen just how badly managed our promotion winning team have been treated!!!

My god!!! How blinkered are some of you!!!!

Why would we play lesser quality players than we have just because they were part of a winning team last year? We have a better squad now. Someone has to miss out

[Darthlaw]

Top level tantrum that Graham.

Can feel the breeze off the bottom lip from here.

[123EasyasBFC]

Nothing to say robins would want the job

[BurnleyFC]

We’ll find out next season if this squad is better than last season’s, but I suspect not.

[Shaggy]

What’s wrong with Robins?

Much preferable to Lego head

[ArmchairDetective]

Fabregas is a great shout.

I bloody hope Tella sticks one top bins against Bayern next season and gives it the big 'un.

All Leverkusen now aren't we?

[Grahamjack]

No tantrum!!

Simple facts. He was out of his depth from day one in Orem.

Check my posts in last 6 month. Man management skills, history in football management. Use the momentum gained from promotion. Errrrrr no let’s ditch them all and start again!!!

Never going to work 2 years running.

Never has in history. But no. VK knows best!!!

Gullible sheep or what!!!!

Are you always this arrogant?

[ClaretAndJew]

GrahamJack, are you ok mate?

[brexit]

Potter maybe interested - he is looking for a long term appointment - our board have proved loyalty to managers.

[Milltown1882]

Absolute masterstroke from Kompany and I’m sure we will financially be rewarded too. Burnley or Bavaria? Anyone with an ounce of sense and realism would do what he’s doing.

Also puts him back in line to replace Guardiola when he leaves City which would probably never happen while he’s here.

So you’d have fired the guy who’s decimated the championship, built a team that had played our best football in a generation and embarrassed them lot down the road (including the everlasting memory of picking up the trophy at deadwood) because you knew it was going wrong on day one?

You sure it’s not a tantrum?

[Goliath]

I have no real issue with him going to Bayern. But why if he was already looking at moving on did he decide to sign a bunch of youngsters who were nowhere near ready and sacrifice our Premier league status for his long term 'project'.

If you're not planning to see it through then it's absolutely pointless. We just go back to square 1 now and hope for another lucky appointment.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Kompany was gone as soon as the rumours broke a few days ago.

The sources are as impeccable as they come

The whole nonsense about a ‘list’ was in case the deal fell through and FR and Plettigoal could save face.

The same poster appeared absolutely clueless on how betting patterns at bookmakers work too just for good measure!

[Bfc]

If/when Kompany does go, perhaps Mr Pace might be able to dupe him into buying Weghorst and Obafemi for good fees.

No-one has an issue with him taking the Bayern job.

It’s more he’s protected his reputation and cv and relegated us in the process.

Compare that to Dyche who fought tooth and nail to keep us up for 6 years, despite the damage to his reputation because of his style of football.

Discussion offline with my mates - what precedent does this set for young managers now?

Sign young players and try to 'play the right way' (whatever that means) and get battered every week to get a top job?

What a mental industry football is; I'm absolutely flummoxed.

[Grahamjack]

Wow!!! Just wow!!!

This board and its contributors need to wake up and smell the coffee!

If someone challenges VK and his decisions that makes you crazy!!

I really don’t know what you guys were watching this season if you think all was well.

I don’t remember saying sack him at day 1. Maybe you need to re-read.

In October it was clear he has no idea!!!

We got vaguely close because of Muric and esteve and Cullen.

Two of which should have played all season.

Not a rant, not a tantrum, just fact

[ClaretAndJew]

Also surely the project is a Burnley FC wide one not just Kompany’s own.

I imagine our next appointment will be similar in terms of philosophy and style of play.

A lesson to our owners too, perhaps, that just because someone does well one season, doesn’t mean they deserve to remain at the helm when things are going wrong.

[Darthlaw]

There’s not a cat in hells chance he’s set the team up with questionable signings, to ship goals for fun and create the square root of f all chances to protect his CV. If he did, then that was one hell of a bold tactic.

The guy has got lucky and accepted a top 5 world football job when his name shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

Nothing more sinister.

[Murger]

And I thought us getting £1m for Wayne Thomas was the steal of the century. Bloody brilliant news if true

Definitely up there with getting £50k for Ian Moore.

[Swizzlestick]

Nothing to say robins would want the job

Not that I’d want him, but he’d take this job in a breath.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Sky just now asking the media guests if Kompany didn’t care about results last year, just showcasing his style in the shop window.

Does make one wonder.

[Ric_C]

Anyone else feeling slightly relieved that he's going? Feels like he's had us in some kind of weird experiment for the last 12 months.

I'll be honest, your coming across a little crazy yes

[TommyPicks]

Honestly this play the right way, possession based Pep Guardiola-love in football is going too far.

For the majority of this season we’ve been utter dross. No football fan, chairman, board member enjoys their team getting slapped about most weeks.

As others have said contrast Dyche’s reputation to Kompany’s. A man who kept us up for 7 seasons, on a shoestring of a budget compared to VK and got us into Europe. Yet whose managerial stock is supposedly higher?

It’s ******* bonkers.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not that I’d want him, but he’d take this job in a breath.

About 30 well known managers would, including Carrick, Moyes, Cooper etc. Whether we want them is another matter. Not many bigger budget jobs will be available, if any realistic ones.

Saw somebody on Twitter suggest Thierry Henry. Crazy I know, but can imagine the ownership being attracted to that.

It really is mate.

PR/trends/perceptions are utterly mad. Meritocracy? No chance.

[Grahamjack]

Ok pointless trying to have a conversation with your closed shop view of the world

[DCWat]

Robins has done a decent job at Coventry and he / the club have certainly found a handful of decent players.

He’s moved around a bit and not pulled up many trees elsewhere. Strikes me as the sort of manager that has found a club that he fits well, and that’s where he should stay.

[Darthlaw]

Chris Wilder must be nailed on for the Real Madrid job if that’s the case?

Guy has accepted a job (he should be nowhere near) that many rejected, on very short terms, which happens to be one of the top jobs in football.

Nothing more sinister than that.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Yes.

I was a huge supporter 12 months ago, but now I see better the difference in skillset between a top manager and a top player. He was a tinkerman. Indecisive. Sensitive. Stubborn. Was always going to be outsmarted by elite managers who, on the whole, are clever guys too, like him, but are FAR more experienced.

[bfcjg]

Let's hope he takes his MUD analytical absolute sh1te with him as well.

[HahaYeah]

Richard Keys was right.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

This is absolutely hilarious I’ve got to admit the world has gone mad since covid.

A Burnley manager that has just got relegated on our lowest points total in the premier league era has been poached by Bayern Munich ! you couldn’t make this **** up.

Strange times we are living in!

Does he fancy an England goal keeper for £50m?

[Nonayforever]

I'm presuming that you are glad he's gone to Bayern ?
