Bayern appointing Kompany as new manager.
Clrnc talk about falling upwards
Clrnc Two possibilities:
Kompany's actually an incredible manager on Arteta's level, pumped with Guardiola juice, and all those times Burnley fell short and failed to get a result weren't his fault.
There's no decent managers available due to predatory poaching of the best ones, and clubs like Bayern, Chelsea and United that are used to being able to jettison whoever they've got and bring in a Conte or Ancelotti have footgunned themselves, or they're about to.
I'm favouring (2) I reckon.
Fucking hell imagine Craig Bellamy in Germany.
Mirth it's weird. I'm like, wait what? That shit happens to black guys too, huh? Or he must have one heck of a sales pitch.
flobaba they assume he’ll poop and pee like Pep
flobaba first time for everything. i welcome a world where we too can fail upwards regularly.
I mean they’ve gone through about 3 or 4 options so yeah, point 2 is at least partially true.
He got a lot of plaudits for getting Burley to play some good football in the Championship to be fair, and I have seen them play some decent football for in the PL.
goon About 6 actually. Think they are desperate by now.
Alonso, Nagelsmann, Ragnick, Glasner, Tuchel, Schmidt all rejected them.
They have very little choice left.
Looking like a flesh and blood RoboCop ought to help him with dressing room authority I guess.
Tbf much of Kompany's struggles seem to come from refusing to abandon his princibles even though Burnley clearly wasn't cut out to play that kind of football against PL teams. Reckon those faults are less material at Bayern, though that's not to say he'll be a success. Then again, most of their managers seem to get fired soon enough whether they're considered "good managers" or not.
Half the battle at Bayern seems to be winning the dressing room and the other half is winning the board room.
20m 😂
omg I thought the posts suggesting the Kompany move were trolling...
Poor Harry.
Kompany announced as Bayern manager. A very interesting move actually, in the Championship he had Burnley playing great football but clearly couldn't reproduce that when they moved up to a higher level.
Bayern is a bit different though, you have the upper management politics to deal with and then the players as well. Someone so young and inexperienced will be interesting to see how he deals with that aspect.
Not able to decide if this is uncommon bravery or sheer stupidity from Kompany. Time will tell. If I were a betting man, I’d say he’s gone before end of next season.
I don't know German football that well but aren't Red Bull seen as a bit like Man City?
JazzG I mean you only need to look at the hashtag they use...
