    Kompany to Burnley. Bellers to follow?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61586687

    Burnley have appointed former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany as their manager.

    The Belgian, 36, had been in charge at Anderlecht for two years before leaving by mutual consent in May, having led them to a third-place finish.

    The Clarets sacked Sean Dyche in April and replaced him with interim boss Mike Jackson, who was unable to prevent relegation from the Premier League.

    "I'm excited by the challenge ahead," Kompany said following his appointment.

    "Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager.

    "I've been impressed by the board's vision for the club which aligns with my own and I look forward to playing my part as we enter an important season."



    This has been coming for a few weeks now, and there has been (informed?) speculation that Bellamy would join him.

    Good news if that happens.

    Bellers gets EFL experience and gets 'rehabilitated' in UK football after the Cardiff academy bullying allegations. He is then ready to come home when the Board show Morison the door, as they inevitably will at some point.

    They are supposed to be in a mess finacially, hopefully he's picked the wrong club and they are a disaster, we don't want a strong premier squad stealing one of the promotions slots, they've had their turn.

    I thought Bellamy left Anderlecht earlier in the season

    I'm just hoping they implode and steal one of the relegation spots.

    Kompany will be straight on to Man City for some young loan signings, like Tommy Doyle.

    I mentioned the potential for Bellamy to join him weeks ago when this was first mooted.
    I’m going to have a big cry, because I was ignored again! 😁

    No announcements yet on backroom staff.

    Apart from the massive loan repayment needed, Burnley could be losing 20+ players from last season's squad.

    Big job for Vinnie.

    Of course not, I'm hoping they go the same way or worse!
