Vinny joins Anderlecht as player/manager (Simon Davies follows him)

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Out on a high. Lifted three trophies in one season that has never been done in English football history. He'll be missed.

Anyone crying needs to get a grip.

A grip of your fanny wipes malg?

So who’s going on loan there next season?

Where’s Mangala?

 

[HaalandEffect]

Player manager for Anderlecht

 

[jimharri]

What an intro.

Loving all the good luck tweets from blues on there.

So testimonial in September
City v Anderlecht.
Plays first half for City then we hand him over to his new club at half time.
Be a fitting ending if it happened that way

Had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye since 9 this morning when I heard the news, but now we know where he’s going and what he’s doing, it feels right. 3 years under his belt, come home just in time for pep’s departure...

 

[JRockBlues]

Anderlecht: The new 2nd team's result I will look for each weekend. Good luck Vinnie!

 

[u2fme2]

What a way for the great man to bow out !! Thank you for everything you have done for us.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

It all makes sense now, it would been difficult seeing him at another pl club. This gives him the perfect stepping stone into management.

 

[HaalandEffect]

Cancel NAC Breda agreement and get a agreement with Anderlecht. Look for players like Doku and Alexis

 

[somethingelse]

didn't twig any of this bit of a shock,hes off, best wishes and thank you

 

[Easy]

Love the move. Player-manager.

Where’s Mangala?

Still trying to find what boot goes on which foot!

 

[MillisleBlue]

Captain. Hero. Inspiration. Leader. Gentleman. Legend. Role model.

Here's to you, Vincent Kompany, there simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the big man.

 

[SiMCFC]

Happy for him, I hope he does extremely well for himself and the club.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Absolutely irreplaceable man, on and off the pitch. He’ll always be missed but excited for the next chapter of his life. He’ll be back, definitely.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Happy for him.

So, Kompany goes to Anderlecht for three years. Pep stays here until 2022. Arteta takes over and Vinny comes back as his assistant.

You know something, that is not as ridiculous as it first reads mate.

 

[burning blue soul]

bittersweet news. we lose a goliath, but he is moving on to make his first steps in becoming a great manager. maybe one day coming back to us.

i was a bit down about the announcement coming this morning, but now it is up to us all to cheer him off tomorrow with the biggest thank yous we can possibly give.

 

[waspish]

Thats Kompany for you taking a risk and believing in his ability as a player now as a manager.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Wouldnt be surprised if he ends up at New York City although his family is very settled in the Manchester area , but no doubt he will be back at our club at some level in the future , and he would also make a great pundit , imagine Kompany and Carragher side by side in a TV studio ,who are you going to take more notice off ?

His decision is an interesting one and not one I expected. Good luck to him
