Not sure which is weirder for next Burnley manager: Vincent Kompany or (as was reported on here t'other day) the philosopher and fine art historian Joseph Barton

I know a few Bristol Rovers supporters and they all think Joey Barton is a football manager genius and are worried about losing him to a bigger club.
I know one or two gasheads who think he’s a lunatic and one step away from another explosion. Can’t fault his management record and achievements since Xmas when they were in the bottom 4 and he predicted the play offs. He was wrong!!

Hypia-esque appointment?
Fingers crossed

I have to say that feels like as tenuous link to us as it is possible to get.

Kompany manages the biggest club in Belgium, but only finished in third place and misses out on Champions League whilst being leapfrogged by cross-city neighbours USG - who play in front of 8,000 fans in a small, Withdeanesque stadium surrounded by trees.
God help the Clarets.

exacty he was wrong, he got them in an automatic promotion place.
Anderlecht looked shocking under Kompany.
Absolutely not done to try and take a load of city youngsters on loan.

I think it will be a great appointment.
Kompany has no managerial record to speak of, but that's to be expected. He's a young man in his first job. He is obviously a clever bloke, someone who can articulate his ideas well and clearly has recent contacts he can call on. That will give him a decent start in the championship
I think a bit more Gerrard than Hyppia
