Can't see another thread on this.
I get the long term plan, but is he already writing this season off?

Re: Kompany comments
Considering we got promotion ahead of schedule, I can't imagine the thinking is that we need to stay in the PL at all costs.
If we do that's fine, if we don't we'll have a squad more than capable of getting us back up.
Let's see how much we develop over the next couple of months.

Re: Kompany comments
What he says in public and what he says in his player meetings won't be the same.
He's a very ambitious and positive guy, but he has to temper expectations in the public.
We'll be flying by Christmas though, I don't doubt that. Even if we're only on 10-15 points by then, I'll still not be too worried. There are teams that don't have anywhere near our attacking options.

Re: Kompany comments
Good question, I'm amazed he came to us in the first place. But he did and you've got to assume that's because he'll be given support and autonomy unlike elsewhere.
For what it's worth, even though we've been the pits in these first three games - soft, naïve and slow - I think we'll be reyt this season.

Re: Kompany comments
Personally I think he is a very loyal man. If at the end of the season he has a decision to make whether he stays or goes, means the the Board have kept and not binned him. That will mean a lot to Kompany (just as it did for Dyche following his first relegation at Burnley).It shows huge faith, which would make him want to stay and get the club promoted again.I also think VY feels a loyalty to the many players he has recruited.
If we go down of course, that means we will have had some disastrous results and that will diminish the attention in him from other clubs in the PL

Re: Kompany comments
VK is just like most other football managers in that if a much better team comes in for him with a better deal then he will leave. Of course if we do get relegated having spent a huge amount of money this summer with more than likely more to follow in January, then the chances of those offers may decrease.

Re: Kompany comments
Nobody could of wished for a better season last year. But I think relegation could be quite disastrous for us with the financial outlay. I don’t even know the final outlay must be close to 150 m in transfer fees alone. I hate going back to dyche but considering the budget and wages he had this could be a shocker I think we have over gambled. On the flip side I don’t fancy us to drop but you have to be very worried defensively right now the way teams have opened us up,Man City was ok but bad the last two. Can we change it though the defence not really our squad is very lob sided.

Our outlay was not much more than £90m in total so I’m not sure where £150m has come from.

Re: Kompany comments
I don't think we've been "the pits" in the 3 games this season. Naive definitely and not up to speed with the league for the full 90 minutes. However, in all 3 games we've had spells where we've matched teams and had chances to affect the game and score. We've also played the best team in the world, a very good Spurs team who I think will be in the top 4 if not challenging top 2 come the end of the season and a very good Villa side. If we had of played the Luton game we'd be looking at this start differently.
I'm also encouraged by the signings for the future we've made. Burnley, in my lifetime, have NEVER signed a bright up and coming player for the future. The closet we've ever got to that accolade is Danny Ings and he was exactly one for the future.

Re: Kompany comments
Better than us but I get your point. Although I think when you look at the fixture list you'd probably put them down as one where we're not really going to get anything from, not this early in the season. If we had of won it would have been a shock result or blamed on their game in Europe.

Re: Kompany comments
I don't know about Kompany's loyalty but what I've seen and heard from him since his first meeting with the players last season, it is clear that he is a highly intelligent and ambitious young manager with a project that, I would imagine, he is confidently looking forward to come to fruition. Hell know it might take a while.
There's no way on earth he'll go within the next two seasons.

Re: Kompany comments
I find it a little odd that people are talking relegation after three games against two of the best sides in the country and Villa who, on their day, can beat anyone. The real benchmark for us was the Forest game, and we won it. This side will knit together and I believe we will be fine. There are more Evertons and Sheff Utds and Bournemouths in the PL than there are City’s and Tottenham’s. These first three games won’t define our season, it’s the games against the bottom half sides that will. After the seemingly dubious set of fixtures we were given at the start of the season we were always going to be playing catch up, and I think we will.

Re: Kompany comments
Deviating from the topic maybe but I think we've been the pits. Opinions isn't it. Yes we've created chances and pinged the ball around nicely. But our midfield has been non-existent, the defence has looked feeble and overall we've been confused, naive, slow and weak. Yes, immense opposition and I wasn't expecting a single point to be honest. But we've given ourselves little chance to get anything from the games, they've been over by half time or an hour in and subs and tactical changes have been odd.

Re: Kompany comments
No surprise in his words and comments - it's been clear and obvious of the approach/model taken.
Re: Kompany comments
"You're going to have to be tough defensively as well"
No Left back who he fancies
No holding midfielder
But enough wingers to field in three or four teams
The players brought in may well have good potential but they can't all play at once and so will not gain much experience at this level
We are going to need a stable, balanced starting eleven to get used to the system Kompany wants to adopt, whatever that is
Given our inexperience at this level it would be asking for trouble if we rotated the squad too many times

Kompany tempers expectations when he speaks to the press. It's why he never said we were all in on promotion last season. It's part of his job.

Because, on the face of things, we don't have owners who can inject significant amounts of money to keep us afloat.
Clubs in the Championship generally have horrendous wage to revenue ratios (I think it has averaged in excess of 100% for the past five years or so) and rely on owners to keep them going or the occasional Premier League spell.
Re: Kompany comments
Lots of Championship clubs are poorly run, don’t manage wage bills and refuse to sell playing assets to balance the books/improve the general squad. Luton did pretty well to say they didn’t have owners who can inject significant amounts of money.

Our owners did what we did last season on the back of selling a load of developed premier league talents. We wouldn't have that if we'd spent an extended spell in the Championship.

Re: Kompany comments
Never seen Luton’s finances but would guess that without the benefit of sky premier league money / parachute payments that it would not take much of a wage bill for it to exceed their revenue. £20m ?…..or even less ?
For Burnley for the next 3 or 4 years we are going to have around £25m a year going out in transfer fees. Then our wage bill on top…and any loan interest and repayments.
If we were to go down and stay down after the parachute payments finish then good chance we would be in a prettt precarious position - you’d think it would be significantly higher than Luton’s outgoings

I think VK's giving everybody a reality check, 3 games in or 33 games in. When I looked at the 25 man squad yesterday, I could only echo the comments he made. VK's the key to our success now and going forward. AP appears to have given him a free and supportive hand and I'd be amazed if VK's thoughts weren't reverberated to the board. I'd also be very surprised if AP's not asked for reassurances from VK should the worst case scenario materialise this season. I for one firmly believe VK's here for the long run.

ALK have backed Kompany massively. If they feel like he hasn’t done enough by a certain time period (whenever that maybe), despite any PR that has been put out like the ‘dating the prettiest girl in town’ stuff then they’ll pull the trigger.

Every signing is here because of Kompany, it appears to be his scouting and analytics that is unearthing the talent and he has a huge back room team behind him. It’d cost a lot of money, that we can ill afford, to clear the decks again.
The upheaval would be significantly greater than when Dyche left and that was only eased by what Kompany brought to the table.
Credit has to go to Pace for making a damn good choice. It’ll be much trickier next time though, especially if we aren’t at the top table and that time comes before many of the signings have realised their potential.
Pace needs Kompany to stick around for a good while and he needs to see a good number of his signings increase significantly in value.

Re the first point - who knows, I’d like to think that there’s a plan to stick to no matter what - ie 3/4 year plan and then evaluate the situation then/the time period leading up to it but we can only go on the data that’s been presented so far and that initial sacking seemed like an off the cuff sort of sacking (given the points I raised before, day of the sacking etc).
My overriding point is that words are well.. just words and aren’t necessarily a good indicator to judge people’s actions - unless that person has a track record of sticking to their word.
I will add that I sincerely doubt that Pace and co will be feeling that downbeat about the start.
As for if we had to replace him be it Kompany leaving for pastures new after a successful spell or (hopefully not) a dismissal after a bad spell then we shouldn’t worry too much… We can’t get into this notion again that our manager is sort of ‘bigger’ than the club which I feel like we did with Dyche towards the end of his tenure.
As long as there is a plan, things aren’t haphazard and our signings/recruitment fit any potential managers then it’s cool.
Look at Brighton for example - Potter had that almost Dyche like ‘he’s doing miracles at Brighton that no one else could’ and then they go and get De Zerbi and level up once again.
That isn’t to undermine or diminish Dyche or Potter’s respective achievements - for which I’m truly impressed and grateful for (in Dyche’s case), more that it’s next man up. Always have a succession plan, but be rational!

Re: Kompany comments
People quickly forget about the ALK and Dyche relationship.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 11:30 pmIt’s a fair comment tbh. Pace was quoted:
January 2021 - “Sean Dyche has a job for life if he likes”, per the Telegraph

September 2021 upon Dyche signing a new contract - “We love Sean to death. We want Sean to be here for a long time. If it was up to me I'd write a contract for 10 years”

As we all know Dyche was sacked the following April - just 6 months into his new deal, let alone 10 years or a lifetime!
ALK have backed Kompany massively. If they feel like he hasn’t done enough by a certain time period (whenever that maybe), despite any PR that has been put out like the ‘dating the prettiest girl in town’ stuff then they’ll pull the trigger.
If VK is looking like relegation is on the cards I wouldn’t be surprised if they let him go.
ALK prioritise staying in the prem over anything

Re: Kompany comments
what DC Watt says, the two circumstances are light years apart. We were massively beyond the end of Dyche's time and with VK we are barely at the start. Proper chalk and cheese stuffCoolClaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 11:30 pmIt’s a fair comment tbh. Pace was quoted:
