Kompany rejected Chelsea before taking the Bayern job.

[ClaretinBudapest]

Turns out Kompany turned down the Chelsea job for “his own reasons” before he moved to Bayern.Is there anybody else on this forum puzled by the fact that top clubs i world football wanted VK after last season.
I think he will be good at a club that has the best team in a league.He could make a good team better like us in the Championship-who knows.

So his "long-term contract" was about as much use as a once used bog roll.

I'm going off Kaiser Kompany very fast indeed.

Hope he does not mess Harry Kane about.

I am beyond mystified at clubs wanting Vincent Kompany. Kane will have much more authority at Bayern than VK and any messing with Kane will result in a rapid turnaround of managers

Well no one should be all that surprised!
Kompany stated in his press conference " he wasn't surprised Bayern were interested in him (modesty clearly isn't his biggest virtue)
He also went on to say it felt like home-said exactly the same when he joined Anderlect and Burnley.
Bayern have stated that his appointment was a unanimous decision, but Directors Hoeness and Rummenigge (Das Bild) have gone on record telling the newspaper that they voted against his appointment-Sporting Director Erbel forced the appointment. through-welcome to German football politics!!!

Vinnie, supported by Guardiola loves promoting himself and his methods.
I am sure we will all be watching closely if things don't all go to plan.

There's some big hitters at Bayern besides Harry Kane, as they sit there listening to VK surely some are going to be thinking, 'Good player he might have been, but he was a disaster managing in the PL last season, why is he standing there telling us how to play football' ?

I think a lot of big clubs saw what Kompany was trying to do but just didn't have the players capable of doing it. His system and style along with the right players might just work.

The long term contract ensured a more than decent compensation was received, so was useful BT

I meant from the "loyalty" point of view wmd. In all honesty Pace had all bets covered and we could hardly begrudge Kaiser Kompany the München gig could we?

Ten million will cover this year's loan interest, so it's not all bad is it?
