Vincent Kompany

[LeroysBoots]

"According to the Guardian tonight, next Bayern Munich manager Fuck me, that's sensational failing up !"

"The Premier league scoring record is a load of shit Top division record … Div 1 & Premier league … Greaves has many more than those two What Kane should have done is have a proper agent rather than his brother & had a buyout so he could have gone to Man C, Liverpool or Arsenal"

[Manuel]

"Kane should have stayed at Spurs, a new era under big Ange and smash that cսnt Shearer's record. Bad move. He can't be happy with a bloke who has just taken Burnley down rocking up as his new gaffer."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"8th choice? Blinky-flip! If your first 4 choices all swerve you then, at the very least, you should have been looking at redefining/reviewing the role/deliverables before moving on. It would be quite revealing to hear the reasons why the previous 7 potentials jogged on."

[wils]

Would loved to have seen Kane's face when it was announced.

"“It already feels like home” says Kompany, in his first press conference less than 24hrs after signing. What a sap. Really bizarre choice, the pressure will be massively on them to at least win the Bundesliga."

[Balto]

Russ of the BML Great behind the scenes overview of what goes on at Bayern. It is a Manager's graveyard for all the reasons outlined. Other club's fans loathe Bayern with a vengeance because they suck the life out of the Bundesliga. The club vacuums up the top Bundesliga talent and this includes managers. If Kompany is there longer than a season it will be a miracle. My German team is BVB Dortmund .. because I lived there for 10 years. A blue collar team in a working class city.

[wansteadman]

It just seems that everyone wants someone who's worked with guardiola as if that a guarantee. I wonder what next seasons pearl of wisdom they'll all be copying. Last year it was the inverted fullback. And managers like arteta were all over it within days

Punching well above his weight.

"Amazed that a major club like Bayern have taken Kompany on. Their 8th choice, apparently. Wonder how much he bent over. Wonder how Kane and the other big name players feel about this. Anyway, I don’t like him - massively arrogant with a touch of the Roberto Martinez."

[RBshorty]

Fat Sam to England.?

[Eerie Descent]

"I suppose it'll stop some of the grifters from moaning for a while. Probably not, but it should do. Has there ever been a less deserving appointment in the history of football?"

[Russ of the BML]

"Ron Eff 6:05 Thu May 23 Fair enough. No doubt he is very impressive in the off-field environment because, as I said, he comes across as a very good bullshitter and talks a good game. For me, I would be looking at a coach and seeing how he adapts and what are the results from that. So for me, I wouldn't employ him if I was Bayern for that reason and just that he is so inexperienced. But if he has managed to bullshit his way through the interview and tell them that none of it was his fault and that if he had better players then it would succeed, then bloody good luck to him. If they have fallen for that then more fool them. But ultimately, i think there is possibly a good coach somewhere in there. Just not yet sure what level that is. I would also say that Tuchel has been up against it and has found the Bayern heirachy too much to work with. Bayern Munich are owned by Bayern Munchen AG (75% stake). AG's Managing Director is Oliver Khan. The two Chief Executives are Karl-Heinz Ruminegge and Uli Hoeness. Between the three they rule Bayern with an iron fist and carry out the orders of the Bayern Munchen AG's board and the three other shareholders which are Adidas, Audi and Allianz. Huge players and massive companies. If they don't like a coach then there is very little wriggle room and by all accounts Tuchel was quite vocal on how he wanted to change the club and move it in a different direction. This went down like a lead balloon and so he is gone. As someone else said, alot of these younger coaches are now extensions of the board their shareholders. Its alot to do with image but more importantly to do with compliance. If Kompany has played that game correctly then it could also be why he is in."

[lowlife]

"Not a fan of Kompany. Always came across as arrogant when they lost, and self satisfied and arrogant when they won. Was also an absolute cսnt with the way he dealt with Townsend, and then how he explained it when they played Luton. Offering someone a contract, to the point they are moving house and getting their kids into a new school, and then saying ‚Äònah, we‚Äôve got other players‚Äô is an absolutely cunty thing to do in any situation."

[Manuel]

"No doubt he'll be telling the owner that he will take Plymouth out of the Championship, he delivered on that at Brum."

[Fauxstralian]

Rooney talking with a gut full of Plymouth Gin when he reckons Man City v QPR (Agueroooo) should have been investigated as a fix Plymouth finished a point of Birmingham & only stayed up because of Rooney’s BRUM TENURE I guess they think they owe him

[Manuel]

Rooney talking with Plymouth.

[gph]

May well be a success when he has the players to go with his principles. But there's no way he'd be given this chance after Burnley if he'd been a run-of-the-mill player

[Oneard]

Vincent great player and man and learned of the greates of all will be top manager one day the best

[Fauxstralian]

Any manager in a baseball cap … Pulis Klopp Kompany… is a nailed on PAEDO FACT

[Lee Trundle]

It's quite a prestigious job to be linked with. I hope it all doesn't go to his head.

[onsideman]

"I seldom agree with anything Simon Jordan says, and this is no different. Kane went to Bayern Munich to win trophies and earn £1m a month and they were the ones prepared to pay £100m for him. No other reason at all."

"I think it’s the arteta effect. But they sort of had that already with Naglesman. Maybe they want to go back to that? My guess is that more and more clubs want a coach who doesn’t go against them. And they get that more with younger inexperienced managers than older ones who know their own mind. Kompany will be grateful for the chance, Tuchel or Conte is like fuck off I know more than whatever they think etc They just want pure coaches that can take the flak for the business. There are blatantly far more qualified and experienced coaches than Kompany in world football."

[Manuel]

"Simon Jordan's not a fan and said Harry Kane won't be happy at all, citing he went to BM to be managed by elite managers but now sees the bloke who has just relegated Burnley come in."
