If Vincent Kompany becomes manager for Burnley that would be an enormous signing for them I think. I can't say I know about his managerial skills too well if i'm being honest...but he does come across very well, has a very good understanding of the game, has a great mentality, work ethic and is highly intelligent. I can't imagine why he couldn't potentially become a top manager. Also I don't think it would be too risky to take a chance on him if they are lowkey giving him a 3-6 month trial.
Anyway, I'm sure he's well aware the severance package would be something like a 4 pack of Carlsberg and a few rusty nails, but I'm sure the lure of potentially managing in the PL helps him overcome that realisation.
