Kompany to Bayern Munich?

[warksclaret]

Maybe! Before my time! My original point was the 22/23 season was the best football Burnley have played in over thirty odd years.

It was electric, and I began to feel we were unbeatable, which is why this season has been such a shock for us all to take

Huge lol at the hope that VK will make the dressing room more harmonious.

Read that before, a complete non report… he speaks German and a lot rejected the job.

Yes, I know, but I had to metion the 1972/73 season. My favourite ever. Fantastic football team. The last game away at PNE we took at least 15,000 fans, maybe as many as 18,000. Completely took over their big terraced end, plus we had the bulk of both sides.

My favourite season also plus the season after a very close second. To my memory we didnt break up the promotion winning team and went toe to toe with the division one big boys with the same team plus Noble and Hankin coming into the squad.

Its a shame VK couldnt use the buzz in the squad and supporters to create a promotion bounce.

[JarrowClaret]

Yep so clueless I’ve been called that all season and been right the whole time.

Come on you are better than this you do get quite a few things right but you also get quite a few wrong I can think of 3 just off the top of my head!

You said Kompany would get sacked, Brownhill had been replaced and that barring injury/ suspension Muric wouldn’t get in ahead of Trafford. The last 1 was nearly right I guess!

Yes, only Noble was signed. What a signing, though. Ray Hankin stepped up. What a brute. Great player, mind.

[Blyclaret]

How many jobs in Uk would Kompany have been offered. Exactly. None. That’s why he jumped at the German job. He’s a busted flush already. Will he last a season.. I’m not so sure.

Hankin was already in the squad , imagine if we hadn’t sold Thomas earlier in the promotion season , a couple more buys and we could have easily challenged for the title

I’m aware Hankin would’ve been in the ‘larger’ squad but did he make his debut in the promotion season?

Did he become a first team regular after Frank was injured against Spurs?

[dandeclaret]

He's at Strasbourg. What's the point you're making?

That he had one good season, got found out, and has been on a downward trajectory since.

[Bullabill]

Yep I was a big fan of Dyche in early days. His last two three years was where I started to turn.

In hindsight I was naive, we will never get better than him. He’s the best manager we will have in my lifetime

Sorry to hear you have a terminal illness.

[jlup1980]

He got found out last season but does he care? Let's not mess around, last season was never about Burnley Football Club, it was about the self-promotion of Vincent Kompany as a progressive manager. From that PoV it was a roaring success. Had he been more pragmatic we may well have survived, which would have been good for the club but not for VK. Had he sacrificed his style of play it's likely Bayern wouldn't have come calling. It's a shame it's ending this way but Anderlecht fans did warn us about him. His name has got him an opportunity at one of the biggest clubs in the world. It'll be interesting to watch it play out.

[Pickles]

Pretty good description of Viera.

[aggi]

Viera seems a pretty good fit according to Wikipedia

the team went on an eight-game winless run, which fans blamed on a summer transfer window in which four 20-year-olds were signed for a combined fee of €53 million but struggled to perform.

Vieira's young team struggled on the pitch as fans expressed hostility to the American owners and their business plan of developing new players

Identikit....

[ClaretTony]

Apparently arrived in Munich in the last hour. Only a short drive to the Allianz. Hopefully this gets cleared this afternoon.

[Colburn_Claret]

Let's hope they don't have a change of mind at the last minute. VK is finished at Burnley.

Yes fingers crossed. And please no patronising statement about how much he liked his time at Burnley and built a platform for the future blah blah blah.
Bye bye Kompany, hope you stink the place out in Munich.

Deal already announced by Bayern

[Quicknick]

On your way, Kompany.

[CaptainKirk]

My arse, show and Town Hall Steps are the words which spring to mind.

Date and time please - got my camera ready!

Will it be on sky sports

[pushpinpussy]

Not sure why anyone wants him to fail. This is football it happens especially when you sign such a popular person. Good luck Vinny and i hope you smash it. Thanks for the memories.

[IanMcL]

Peace on Turf

[Culmclaret]

Don’t care whether he succeeds or fails. Recruitment will be key for him because he is tactically illiterate. He got that fantastically right in his first season here but catastrophically wrong in his second season.

[warksclaret]

It will really challenge VK's man management skills. Some big players with I suspect big egos in that BM team, and when things are not going to plan and he comes under pressure (and it will happen), he will need to drop players and keep them motivated and on side. I suspect that was one of his weaknesses with our team, with the constant tinkering and very late substitutions

[kentonclaret]

Let's hope they don't have a change of mind at the last minute. VK is finished at Burnley.

No need for Pace to keep the lights on when we’ll have Lamps

[NewClaret]

I want him to be a success. Potential fees are possibly tied to it.

Just seen on insta that Beyer describes working with him
As ‘nothing but an honour’. Think we can be certain the rumours of a rift with Kompany over his injury were untrue.

He's hardly going to come out and say, "good riddance to bad rubbish!"

He could have said nothing. Tittle tattle on here again.

And if it gets cold we will bring our Parker

[NewClaret]

No, but he might say nothing at all, and certainly not ‘it’s been nothing but an honour’ if there were a rift.

[Stan Tastic]

As if Kompany is going to Bayern Munich

Jesus some people will believe anything if they read it on a screen in front of them. Worlds gone mad

Imagine ignoring reliable sources and coming out with this drivel.

[Carlos the Great]

Is there much from VK wishing Burnley and their loyal supporters teh best of luck and thanks for the memories ?

[Winstonswhite]

Imagine ignoring reliable sources and coming out with this drivel.

Yep, hands up, I was wrong! Still gobsmacked tbh!
