Vincent Kompany spent £95m on Burnley in the summer and guided them to 19th place in the Premier League with five wins, three of which came against teams straight back. It appears that negotiations are currently underway. With Bayern Munich. What on earth is going on?
almost all of us were like that I was fooled into thinking Kompany’s team was by far the best of the promoted teams. After last season’s brilliance, when they took the Championship by storm, smashed the early promotion record and played the kind of highly attractive football that the Manchester City legend hoped to emulate in the Premier League. And fair enough.
But when that didn’t work, and most of the time it was laughable enough to cover his face, Kompany couldn’t see the light of pragmatism and stuck to his insistence that Burnley be relegated.
His players simply didn’t have the ability to beat the press in the Premier League, and certainly didn’t have the consistency needed. He conceded badly and didn’t score enough to warrant continuing with his clearly flawed philosophy. Burnley only managed to score 32 goals in 36 games, even after subtracting the nine goals they scored against Sheffield United, who have the worst defensive record in the history of the Premier League. Sheffield United themselves scored 35 points.

Their defense is terrible, but their offense is terrible too. How hopeless is this? bayern?
They may be a little confused. They mutually agreed to terminate their contract with Thomas Tuchel, but this was rejected by Xabi Alonso, Ralf Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann and Roger Schmidt, so they returned to Tuchel and were told where to go.
Roberto De Zerbi is also in the spotlight, but has decided to ‘rest’ away from Brighton, with Bayern set to pay the £86m Crystal Palace clearly want in return for high-flying Oliver Glasner. It is unlikely that they will be able to come up with this.
This is really interesting. A suggestion by a deranged board member that a relegated Premier League manager could take the job is initially cheerfully accepted, and then whether the remaining members realize they are rather in the running. You have to wonder. I don’t have a choice.
No one seems to know exactly what’s going on with Hansi Flick, but he won the treble and lost just eight of his 86 games than any other manager who lost more games in the Premier League. We suggest that a better option would be to re-employ the manager who was in charge of the club. His first and only season in charge at that level was in the league until the end of October.
Sky Germany journalist Christian Falk revealed the news on Monday that the German giants are considering managers outside of the Premier League’s big six, adding that it is not unreasonable that they could consider Thomas Frank. There was no suggestion. I understand that. Brentford haven’t had their best season, but Frank has done a great job with scant resources and won the honour.
He has been linked with a move to Manchester United and is listed as one of the top 10 candidates to become manager of one of Europe’s top teams. Kompany hasn’t moved because fans and bookmakers watch his team’s games and can Google the Premier League table.
However, Fabrizio Romano reported that “Kompany is being discussed internally among his candidates for the post,” and later added that “Kompany has already received a direct call from the Bayern board and is aware of his status.” I informed you about it.”
And what Kompany said that we didn’t actually know, we can tell you. “Yes, please, Bayern.” Because it has always been his plan to remain true to his ethos and philosophy, to be seen as a follower of Pep Guardiola who shares his belief in beautiful football, no matter what the cost to Burnley. Because it was.
Burnley was never a destination for Kompany, and that’s fine, but we expected him to stay after failing so spectacularly this season.
After all, it’s Bayern Munich, so we can’t blame him, but we can’t blame him for one of the most coveted managerial roles in the entire football world because of what we’ve just witnessed. I don’t think it’s entirely right to be left to.
