Vincent Kompany

To take over a club as big as City when you're still in your thirties is just heading for a fall. He's done very well with the limited resources of Burnley. He needs more time and experience. He'd be the first to say it.
If there's one thing I'd hate to see, it's people getting vicious on here — or worse, in the stadium — with Vin. For me, he's the closest thing there is to being a secular saint.
He's also, incidentally, an extremely bright guy who could do a lot of other things with his life, if he chose.

It is like with Slippy Steve.
Had a great (2nd) season at Rangers and his next stop at Villa was his 'stepping stone" to Anfield.
How's that one going?
 
Far too early for Vinnie to be considered for our managers position , he has done a good job at Burnley but he needs a few more years under his belt , he is a bright guy and will know too many legends of the game like Lampard and Gerrard get smoke blown up their arses because they have had a good couple of seasons.
Nexr season will provide a lot of answers , if he keeps Burnley up on a limited budget then he would have swam the channel in concrete boots , but he needs to manage a top six club for a while before progressing to one of the biggest in europe.
 
I feel a little bit like the idea is better on paper than in reality, but he could stop managing today and still have achieved more as a manager than I ever could. It's not so much a doubt of the man, more that these situations don't often end well and I'd not like to see his name soured if it didn't work out.

I think anyone comparing Kompany to Gerrard or Lampard has not actually watched any of the football those teams played and is (no offence) just lazily lumping all ex managers in the same boat.

Steven Gerrard’s rangers didn’t win anything for 2 years and then after outspending the rest of the Scottish Premiership by 3 to 1, finally had a good season domestically (but an awful one in Europe).

Lampard took over Derby who finished 6th, got a load of loan signings in from top clubs and took derby to 6th.


Kompany walked into a Burnley side that a lot of people thought we’re headed for back to back relegations or a long time in the wilderness. They sold off over £70m of their best players and let their captain and big leaders go.

And he’s turned them into one of the best championship sides of all time. Warnock thinks they’re the best he’s ever seen in the division, plenty of others are saying they’re only second to the Reading side that got 106 points.


There simply is no comparison in the quality of football, the ambition in the style of play, or even the results between Kompany and the other 2.


The comparison has nothing to it. It’s just lumping former players together because it’s easy.
 
A question 2 more seasons of Pep then Kompany, or another deal at the end of his contract for Pep?

Pep all day everyday and twice on a Sunday, Vincent is doing incredibly well at Burnley but he still is light years off Pep at this time.

better than the keegan side we had??
 
Let’s not forget how much Fat Frank underachieved at Chelsea. Or how bad Everton were with him in charge. We stayed up in spite of him, not because of him.

No the comparison is valid , and only confirms that despite being great footballers they do not always make great managers, there are many more examples and some where great footballers do make great managers ,but the jury is out as far as VK is concerned he needs to be succesful in the Premier league or a top club in europe , then he might have the credentials to manage at the Etihad

Yep.
Solskjaer walked into a man united side that were struggling and turned them round in his 1st season.
Look how it went afterwards.


I am expecting Vinny to be a succesful top flight manager tbh and the early signs are encouraging.

Hopefully he will get the time to develop
further elsewhere without too much hype and pressure.
