I have no concerns about employing someone that might want to go elsewhere after a short spell. The game has changed anyway and our football model should be robust enough to accommodate changes to the head coach, regardless.

This of course means that the football structure needs to be in place in order to do that (lol @ Spurs having a robust football model).
Also means if other clubs want him we’ve been successful, surely a better option than keeping a gaping manager who no one wants?

In the NFL they talk quite a lot about "coaching trees". That is a particularly influential coach and then all the coaches that have worked with him who go on to be successful in their own right. If say we did appoint Kompany, it would be quite telling that out of the "big six" four of the coaches would come from the Pep coaching tree. Pep himself, and Arteta, Ten Hag, and Kompany, who've all worked with him.

Barring a disaster, one will win the Championship and the other the Eredivisie...both very good achievements. I would still say that Slot looks the less risky of the two.
Disagree. Kompany would get a lot more respect from current players and the media because of his history in the PL. Slot has no history or positive perception here and a few bad results and he'd immediately be right under pressure,

I'd dare say given the current mood in the fanbase, the next manager chap is going to be right under pressure from day 1!

Isn’t that maybe a sign that the social media pity party is getting a little over-the-top?
Yeah. Saw clip of Alex Crook from TalkSPORT, when he said Nagelsmann shouldn't want this job because we don't have manager, lol.

this is another reason to go for him. We know he has the experience of learning under a style of football that is the dominate style that is the most effective currently. I would be all in on Kompany, at the very least we will play a brand of football we can enjoy.

most of the anger is towards the board not manager. If the fanbase quickly turn on the manager and let the board off then we are thick and deserve what we get.

this current squad respect nobody. Look at the managers they have seen off- if they don’t like something they go running to levy and the cycle continues.

I just think that whoever came in and was a success, they will be linked with a move. I really don't think that it's worth worrying about.

But you will probably not get a manager who loves the club in the same way Poch did, as he will already have another team in the same league in his heart.

I can see what you are saying - chances are we won't be going for him but I do think that we worry too much about what might happen if we recruit a new coach. History tells us that two or three years is probably as good as it gets and that is the way that it is tending to trend now anyway.

Kompany would also immediately be right under pressure after a few bad results? Ultimately Slot is much better and proven manager than Kompany

In the unlikely event that Brazil's not chatting shit, it would make sense for Kompany to turn it down if we wanted him to leave Burnley right now. He's a handful of games away from securing promotion and having that on his CV - not sure it would be wise to walk away from that and rush into the mess at Spurs mid-season.

I'd be surprised if he didn't consider the Spurs job if it was offered to him in the summer.

Slot’s dismissal from AZ strikes me as a red flag. Considering the attention Poch got once he started doing well for us, would we really want a guy who got sacked for talking to another club while under contract?

Is there much of a difference between the experience of Kompany and Slot?

One has never managed in England and the premier league while the other although only two years in has a decade of PL winning football as a player under his belt.

Sure Slot is probably the more experienced but it isn’t by that much.
