Is Kompany’s reputation buying him more time?

Despite a 5-0 win over Sheffield United on the weekend, Vincent Kompany’s Burnley were beaten again last night and remain firmly in the bottom three.

The Athletic Football Podcast discusses Kompany and his achievements in the Championship, successes and failures as a manager in the EPL. Does a ‘stubborn’ commitment to one way of playing hold back too many managers in the Premier league? And is it ever okay for a manager to change their playing identity?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s writers Andy Jones and Tim Spiers, and tactics writer Adrian Clarke to discuss what comes next for Burnley.
