Love the video too, fantastic.

Nice flash of Barnfield from the air on Dyches segment too as his legacy.

Onwards and upwards now.

Welcome. If you're half as successful as the bloke you're replacing you'll have done a good job.

I have my reservations but now he’s here, they’re put to one side. With a little bit of luck, hopefully he’ll prove to be a very astute appointment. Best of luck, VK.

Really good news. I was happy with VK coming in the Prem, even happier he’s here with us in the Champ. Looking forward to see what philosophy he brings.

The first time I met Dyche we were stood by a pic of Harry Potts in the old Centre Spot and he asked who it was. I told him and then said virtually the same words to him as you've just posted. I think he more than managed that.

Looks like a positive appointment and for Kompany to achieve his ultimate ambition of managing City he’ll need to promote us so win win. The overwhelming feeling is relief because I’m not sure where we would have turned if he had walked away from the job.

“I’ve been impressed by the board’s vision for the club which aligns with my own & I look forward to playing my part as we enter an important season”

Kompany is a smart bloke, the fact he’s said this speaks volumes, to me.

He must've been promised a fair wedge. No way he comes in if we're only signing loan players.

There was a song about Liam Robinson printed in a fanzine back in the mid 90s.

They had, "The Longside loves you more than you will know," which scans better. It won't stop the CFS messing it up at a million miles an hour though.

For a couple of years I considered Kompany the best centre back in the world.
Would settle for "one of the best" as manager. :P
Welcome aboard Vince and best of luck.
