That’s what they said about Nagelsmann and look how he flourished. I’m not saying go get Kompany but the guy has had a successful career,is a leader and done magnificently in such a short space of time in coaching. You comparing him to Farke holds no substance. Go get any experienced manager and 100% he’s been sacked at some point and another set of fans will have derogatory comments about them. So what do you go for???? Experienced sacked numerous times managers or up and coming proven winners as a player and manager???
I’d take Kompany over most mentioned.
Kompany heating up 
football is coming back to the Lane this summer
football is coming back to the Lane this summer
What? Did he? Didn't we spend more than them?
Richarlison, Romero, Bissouma must amount to about £130m surely, meanwhile who did they get of any note? Jesus and Zinchenko must make about £80m, who else? :/
Not intending to turn this into yet another 'board backing' conversation generally, but is the above actually correct? (Apologies if I've forgotten someone significant).
They won games. Their football wasn't unbelievable at all. What was unbelievable about it? They liked to pass the ball?
Whats is good about the overhyped ball that Burnley now play. I am not saying I even rated them but i believe Kompany is no better.
No, just pointing out that if he were to come here he’d give it his all and be focused, not just thinking about man city as some people think.
By results and points etc ain't they going to break all championship records?
No, you're right mate.
It's easy to take a team newly relegated, that's lost basically all it's best players in the summer and transform a club that's known for its long ball hard working hopefuls to well coached, pass and move football and succeed at doing it in less than a year and be on course to break records in the most competitive league in world football.
How could we all be so blind?!
Here's a good video for you.
All that is rather easy to do as a 37 year old coach though, of course.
Too balanced mate.
The facts will be dismissed in favour of bias.
By the way good post.

The Championship is in massive financial difficulty and they were allowed to sign 19 players and have serious financial irregularities. and they will still only get 5 more points than a Norwich team that strengthened their team with 8 players. The fact is what he has done is nothing special it is just hype if he does this in the Premier League. The fact is Burnley have bought their way up by spending the most in the Championship this season.
Lol what!?
They have a net spend of upwards of -40,000,000 this season...
Thanks for posting that - I don't pay much attention to that league, and had gathered from various posters on here that VC had bought his way to success, or at least been heavily helped by significant investment. Now just looking at their ins and outs as a result of your post, I see it's not like that at all! As you say, round about £40m net gain on transfers this season!
My understanding is that they were placed under a transfer embargo because their accounts were submitted late and they expect it resolved prior to the summer window opening.
I’m not aware of ‘serious financial irregularities’. Can you source?
100%.
Our midfield isn't the issue, though the addition of a player like Madison will, I believe, complete it properly.
Defence is the priority IMO, particularly the CB and goalkeeper positions. That is where the main focus needs to be regarding recruitment.
Definitely sarcastic. The "Don Levy" comment verified that.
Championship - Transfer income and expenditures
They still spent 20 Million Euros more than any championship team all because they had some over valued assets which they could sell.
Nathan Collins - Wolves 24.3M Craig Dawson Plays over him
Maxwell Cornet - West Ham 20.3M Played 8 times for a team battling relegation
Dwight McNeil- Everton 17M Team battling Relegation
Pope- 10M Only real loss
Basically they got very lucky how overvalued their players were otherwise they would not be looking at Back to Back Relegations,
The fact is the Championship is at breaking point after years of team overspending and the rise in transfer fees. Every club is struggling look at Sheffield United they are second and are struggling to pay their staff and had to make cut backs so they did not get a points deduction. Burnley have also been under Transfer Embargo because they have not submitted their accounts because of a change of auditor.
Their are massive questions over Burnley and yes Kompany has done a good job but I believe he is still very much untested and may be very over hyped in the long run.
They have not submitted their accounts because it would mean breaking FFP in the Championship which could lead to points deduction. Burnley are likely to be audited by one of the big 4 previously and will probably changed to another one of the big four. The fact is their is little difference in the auditor unless you want to delay submitting your accounts.
