It is possible our phenomenal success just might work in our favour. If he'd been just fairly successful, hovering round the top 3/4 and playing good football, he might have accepted the first decent offer he got from a bigger club. But he may be thinking now, just how far can I take this club, this group of players, if they can just stroll into the PL virtually unbeatable, how far can they go in the PL, Top 10 ? Europe ? who knows ? He might want to hang around now just to find out, this success might have bought us another season or two extra with him.
I dont know why he has done so well for us, but I think he did quite well at Anderlecht too. He had them in third and fourth place and now they are 9th. We seem very fortunate at Burnley... first Dyche worked miracles and now Kompany are at it. I'm also not so worried about him leaving. When he came he said he chose Burnley because of the people in the club. He praised Pace for his transparency around our financial situation etc. I don't think he experienced that at Anderlecht. I'm sure he can find good people at other clubs, but I also think he knows what he's got here and could stay until he can't take us further.
My first thoughts were he was biding his time for city , but the longer things have gone and the way Arteta has progressed ( peps prodigy) I think he’d be next in line at City which could give us a good while longer whilst Vincent learns his trade.
I have a feeling that Alk will secure investment and back our manager , from there it’s just about how far we can go and how long he stays.

what I think....
You have an idea for a business, but for it to be successful, each department needs management that can do the job from their own perspective - but - "must" have corresponding goals...and aspirations that marry.
thats the basics, the method of it - then for the practice....how to find the crucial parts and get it right at the first attempt....there's a gamble in cherry-picking, you may think you've snagged the finest, but how will they perform together ?
Answer, choose those that have....driven by a respected/recognised name, one with some influence, who'll bring the necessary gravitas and inspire loyalty among the personnel, etc.
'I have worked with all five men before and I know the qualities and experience they will bring to the club - Vincent Kompany
