Christ, I hope we haven't wasted our time like we did with Paul Lambert.

It could well be click bait ********. No idea if that website if the Belgian equivalent of HITC etc.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t sign now, taking a ridiculous amount of time to announce it , and therefore plenty of time for Kompany to consider other opportunities and whether the club is stable enough.

Don’t think they can announce anything until the deal is done can they?

Nixon also said earlier today 'Might depend when some people are in the country' when asked when he thinks VK will be announced. Also that there is 'fine print, no worries on it'.

Doesn't seem to have any sources or substance beyond "he might be off to Borussia Monchengladbach" so hoping it's just to get clicks.

Borrusia want Lucien Favre don’t they? I thought they were confident he would choose them ahead of returning to Nice. Seems like any interest in Kompany as suggested in that Belgian site would be only if that fell through.

I have just had a quick look on sky bet and can't find the betting for Burnley manager.

They still had Kompany at 1/20 last night but it’s gone today

They won’t announce anything until everything is done.

Not heard anything to suggest anything has changed but all the speculation now seems to centre on the players he wants to bring in.

I wouldn’t compare any appointment to Buchan to be fair.

How many days was Buchan in charge for Tony? I remember going down to meet him at the Centre Spot when he was appointed and he did a Q and A session. I bet you were there for that?

Appointed in the summer and lasted 11 league games. Strange bloke but he had his issues.

I was there. He came across well that night but wasn’t in a good state when he left.

Crikey, 11 games!!? It feels like a whole lot less looking back. I do remember knowing a lady who was on the leadership team at a local primary school who told me at the time that Buchan had put his children's names down to start school there when he was appointed, but his wife came in virtually the next day and said they wouldn't now be starting because they wouldn't be staying and that was some time before he actually left.

Nothing would surprise me but he was very much a ‘yes’ one day and a ‘no’ the next day sort of bloke.

I remember having a good chat with him down at Aldershot before the game. He was brilliant that day but then he could ignore you the next day.

Probably the same people who were worried about the Orsic signing taking forever... To be fair tho I don’t see any panicking yet…. Just a few who are naturally a little worried as to whether it’s really IS happening, what with all the rumours and “good sources” telling us one thing day after day, and the lack of a press conference telling us something else.
As Burnley fans, they would be absolutely justified in believing nothing until CT sticks the article on here with the obligatory foto of him holding our scarf aloft.

He agreed to come last Thursday when we met his pay demands

I have no idea what has happened looks like they have agreed to end their association with each other, make of that what you will.

As long as he doesnt start playing sweeper that will be a good sign.
