Kompany speaking to his Burnley squad for the first time about his philosophy. Love this
The various managerial possibilities have all rattled around in my empty head enough now and have returned to my original wish, that we get Poch back.
1. He done a great job last time through a period where we were building the new stadium and therefore could not back him.
2. He organised us to play really good possession football with a strong midfield.
3. He has more experience now but is still relatively young so could be even better than before
4. He has a great affinity to our club and actually got on well with Levy
5 He did take us to the Champions League final. Ok he ballsed it up on the day by bringing Kane back too soon but none the less still a brilliant achievement
6 He would probably want to bring Winks back .. ah wait, fucking forget it

Maybe we should hire Richie Wellness he's had a good season getting Orient up
I've passed them on to Danny Baker.
Sadly; they failed the Daz doorstep challenge.

Loads of twitter noise about Kompany.
Still think it's bollox but maybe that Simon Davies guy is getting his way?
The way Kompany answered those questions came off as "someone has spoken to my agent but let's keep it professional for now".

I agree with this. The risk is huge but maybe it’s what we need to do? We need to do something different now. If we are sat in mid table in 12 months time under him then maybe it’s time to reevaluate.
Plus if he comes in he’s probably automatically still the best centre back at the club!
They’ll go for arteta next. It seems the most logical move. I’m no way worried about the kompany possibility if he came.
If City want Kompany it will be because he's been unbelievably good for us.
The real issue is that anyone coming in will be expecting the boot as soon as they get some rough results.
If we do go the Kompany route, give him a 5-year contract and stick it out even if we miss out on Top 4 for a season. He's a young manager and that is definitely the risk.
He’s been told by somebody, who may or may not know, that it will be Kompany. Cheers Marcus, that’s a great help.

we only want Kompany because what Legoman is doing at the scum.
If we accept Kompany Levy wins again.
He's basically taking us back to the 2005 / 06 Jol / Arnesen period.
Low wage bill, Europa League football, possibility of Champions League, entertaining football, jam tomorrow is coming soon.........

Who's your preference?
We possibly made a mistake not to target the Europa in 16-17. Getting knocked out by Genk was to target the league and FA Cup didn't work.
Pochettino.
He can unite the place.
I've been thinking Rodgers would be Levy's preference but my Mrs, who only has a passing interest in football, mainly due to listening to my crap for the last 33 years, saw Kompany's Burnley press conference, while we were eating our breakfast the other morning, and observed that he is going to get the Spurs job.
She hardly ever says anything about the football but she is quite shrewd at times.
I fear she may be right on this.
Bullshit
How well would you expect him to do in his first season?
Ignoring the up and coming part we have in effect four managers we are linked with who have done this. Naglesmann, Pochettino with us, Slot and Kompany. At the very least I think we have the right profile of manager this time.
My only concern is the reasons.
Good- If Kompany is being hired to provide a longer term Pep Inspired football style, building up young players, taking risk and being allowed to implement his idea on to the club long term as we transition to a modern football way of playing that will last even when he is gone. I am all for it.
Bad - If we are just getting him as flavour of the month big name to appease Levy and will sack him come the first bad run of results then I would rather we just cut our losses and get Pochettino back.
I’m told by a source that Although not reliable that Vincent Kompany will not be our next manager.
I am Spartacus .
