Witness Lampard. He was excellent at Derby, but couldn't hack it at Everton and Chelsea. I find it hard to believe that they've gone back to him to "mind the house"

I agree.

I think Vinnie is a probably a level (or more) up on Frank intellectually and that could be the difference. It's early days for both managers though. I'm not going to attempt to predict who will have the more successful managerial career, it depends on so many things.

The most I've watched of Burnley this season was at the Etihad, where they really impressed until we took the lead.

Burnley's results tell their own story, as does the fact they did not expect to get promotion this season.

I heard from a very good source Vinnie wasn't too popular with the Burnley players early in the season, because he was working them so hard - I guess they are happier with him now.

Just listening to some of the post match stuff yesterday, I switched on for the celebrations, and watching Vinnie and hearing him interviewed, you get the feeling he is headed for bigger things. I did hear recently that his a Bellamy's management style is more SAF than Pep but that could well be a reflection of the current set-up he is managing.

Will be be the right guy to manage City? I hope we don't need to find out for several years but the day will come when Pep steps down and I am not going to be alone in hoping that Vinnie will be ready, willing and able to takeover. That might be fairytale thinking but former players have managed other clubs to major trophies - we have one of them in charge right now.

I know what you mean, but I honestly don’t think he would take one of the other big 6 teams or whatever they are known as, due to his connections with us. Any other premier league team, maybe, but not one of those 5 clubs.

Totally agree. I think it will come down to what budget any club gives him. I could see him going to somewhere like West Ham. Just hope he doesn’t go to Spurs

He has already said he is wedded to the burnley project , he wont leave , he is sensible to know he needs to prove himself a prem manager , most are not that sensible and get a bigger job then get fired
 
Be interesting to see how much backing he gets in the summer, because to play that football in the Premier League you need quality and experience. It's exciting to see how it plays out because it will be a validation to how good Vinny is as a coach.

I loved to see them play like they did at The Etihad a month or so back, but I do fear without a few top quality additions and that experience when it starts getting tough after a few defeats so you can hold your nerve, that Burnley team could end up being on the side of some absolute batterings by some of the better sides in the Premier League.

I am obviously no expert, but maybe looking at how Swansea approached it when they came under Rodgers would be a good insight for Vinny. Very similar style of performance and managed to play and win in a similar manner as they did in The Championship.

I just hope if the money is there they don't do a Forest and if the money isn't there they just sign a load of young players like Southampton did and not go for experience which in my opinion is costing them this season.

Home to Sheffield Utd today to celebrate promotion on VK's birthday. "Happy Birthday Dear Vinnie" all around Turf Moor.

Beat the Blades tonight and they'll be, realistically, 4 pts from the title. Mathematically, it'll be 5 pts, but it's unlikely that Sheffield United would make up what would be at least21 goals (along with the 14 pts) in the last 6 games. Granted, though, stranger things have happened.

The Blades do have a few lads that grew up playing in the academy of a team that did this fairly regularly…
