Vincent Kompany testimonial to be held at the end of the season

What a guy.

“I've received much from Manchester," said Kompany.

"Over the past decade I've been lucky to have witnessed and played a part in Manchester City's rise as a club and a brand. This has also run parallel alongside the rise of a whole region.

"However, with this spectacular rise, comes a very visible downside: more and more people are left out of and have no access to the benefits of the rapid development, often leaving them no choice but to end up on the streets."

All profits from the match - to be held at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the current Premier League season - will be donated to the Homelessness Fund set up by Burnham, which aims to end homelessness in Manchester by 2020.

Great bloke. Hopefully it will be well supported as he deserves his day for all he has done for the club.

 

[Henkeman]

Might be his farewell too.

Great bloke and deserves a great celebration for what he’s done for us - would love him to be manager one day.
Nice gesture as well about the proceeds; whilst the city itself is transformed from the place I grew up in during the seventies the homeless situation is a real problem.

To make this a real success United need to be the opposition. Well done Vinny. There's lots of initiatives going on for "homelessness" that don't get publicised. A firmer approach is needed but the snowflakes criticise the police and council without really knowing, or ignoring the reasons why there appears to be a big problem. One social housing provider have recently made 30 homes available in Manchester specifically for homeless people who would not otherwise qualify for a home, maybe due to previous arrears or antisocial behaviour.

Hope we can win the CL for him this season!

An outstanding individual,not just as a player but a man.

 

[meeesh]

I'm sure this could well be a full house,wonder if there are any idea's on who we could play ? Hamburg ? Or would he push the boat out and ask the rags lol

 

[HelloCity]

Idea for testimonial could be to have players from the current squad vs players from the squads who won our 1st and 2nd PL titles. Get Tevez, De Jong, Richards, Zabba, Yaya, Nasri, Mario and Edin etc back.

A fantastic man. I will be there.

Be great if we can get some old players back like, Richards, Hart, Dunne, De Jong, Kolarov, Tevez, Barry, Lescott, Balotelli, Dzeko, Clichy etc....
