Won't he take it over the bald, middle-aged quota for the season? (although one's probably offski soon)

[toon25]

They're beyond parody now. Throwing enough shit at the fan and hoping it sticks. This week: let's copy the Arse model and see if a mini-Pep will solve the problem.

I hope Ipswich or Leicester quote them astronomical compo figures. Still can't get the idea that poch hasn't earned a second year mind, has anyone been 'sacked' after 5 wins? Hopefully they choose terribly and waste the position they got themselves in

Haha that's absolutely great

[Joelinton7]

Fab’s gone and done an “eyes” on Kompany to Bayern. Madness.

I must be missing something with kompany. Decent bloke but seen nowt in his abilities to win much

[Donut]

What timeline is this? He refused to change his tactics when they clearly didn't work and he never managed to iron out all the defensive errors they made throughout the season. They conceded some absolute comical goals.

[Jaqen]

Kompany getting the Bayern gig on the back of a relegation and one of the most pathetic premier league performances from a side is some going.

Yeah but he played under Pep so obviously can manage like Pep.

 

As long as he's in the right environment (money/players)

 

Obvious really!?

[Menace]

Comfortably one of the worst teams we've played this season too. Surprised Edwards isn't being linked with a better gig

[Dr.Spaceman]

Every man and their dog constantly tells us that football is a results business though.

[54]

Apparently Bayern are going to pay £20m of compensation for Kompany.

[KaKa]

I saw a tweet explaining this whole Chelsea thing.

 

Apparently the manager has to agree to the guys upstairs not just being the ones who determine what players are brought in, but they will also have some say in the onfield tactical approach!

 

This is the reason why all the more experienced managers aren't being considered or aren't interested. It will be a young and relatively inexperienced head coach type, being directed from those above.

Good, more chance it's a shitshow

[toon25]

Imagine being told what to do on the pitch by a bloke that thought his team had 12 players on the pitch and played in the champions League every year 

 

Being a cuckold to fucking clueless peddlers of commercialised American sports is so fucking grim.

Crikey...

 

By virtue of the complete lack of competition, he'll be able to get by, but christ he's so fucking overrated. Hardly pulled up trees at Anderlecht in an equally uncompetitive league.
