Like last summer, it’s also great news because of what it implies he’s been promised. Plus he’s a class manager, obvs.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:09 pm

Got to say I’ve always been a bit sceptical of Paul’s “exciting times” mantra, but things are looking bright at the moment and I can’t wait for the new season.

There seem to be so many good things happening at the club that even I’m getting excited!

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:13 pm

Get in, excellent news. It just keeps getting better and better.

These are fantastic times at Turf Moor! Every day seems to bring another exciting twist. UTC.

Fantastic news and timing. Under this set up, nothing now surprises me. Wasn't that long ago we were signing the likes of Lennon and Stephens-I have a feeling VK has already planned some real stellar signings for our introduction to the PL

One of our best ever signings this!

Fantastic news to shove up the "expert pundits" who will no doubt be saying he's made a mistake here.
Top man Vincent Kompany!

As an old-timer following BFC since the very early 60s, it really doesn't get much better than this.
Thanks to VK for committing and AP for setting it all in motion.
Hats off all round. COYC. UTC. NNN.

"All we need now is for Pep to stay at Manchester City for another five years at least."

Ain't that the truth !!!

FeedTheArf · Post by **FeedTheArf** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:26 pm

Wow… just wow!!

Only a years extension in reality, but given how he’s performed and there’s already superpower clubs sniffing round, this is a major coup!

Well done Pace!

What fantastic, unexpected news for a boring Sunday afternoon

Fantastic News - Thank you for your commitment to the club Vinny and well done to the club for securing this deal . Very happy claret.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Never in doubt for me, Kompany’s an absolute class act and a man with a sensible head on his shoulders, he was never going to abandon his project too soon, he’s too wise to make the same mistake as Gerrard/Lampard and backs himself long term to end up at the top. A marathon not a sprint for him.

It's more positive news but ultimately doesn't really change much.

The only thing we can be certain of is VK will have just got a handsome pay rise - which is fully deserved of course.

The 'agreeing to stay until 2028' stuff....well, we know how much that means.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:32 pm

This is excellent news but I was always 100% confident in my own mind that he would be with us next season as a minimum, regardless of what all of the doom mongers were posting.
Well done to Alan Pace for getting a new deal in place to remove any uncertainty.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:36 pm

Completely kills off any possibility of him being poached, not only in the summer but probably mid-season too given the intent it shows.

It means a decent compensation if he did leave at the very least .

One of the top managers in Europe at little old Burnley, the fantastic story carries on.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:42 pm

Absolutely outstanding news.

"all it does is give him a pay rise" - that's b0llocks. It means we plan for next season with 100% certainty he will be here. That's just huge.

Exactly. Nobody is kidding themselves (I think) to believe he will still be managing us beyond 2028, but at least it kills off all of this speculation about him taking over at Tottenham as soon as this season ends.

Maybe, not necessarily though. We don't know what kind of release clause he has.

I'd be amazed if there isn't something like a release clause in the contract that covers the possibility of him being offered the Manchester City job.

123EasyasBFC · Post by **123EasyasBFC** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:45 pm

The timing is key also, letting the fans enjoy tomorrow and go into the summer not having to worry about the 5984625 spurs pages on twitter tweeting ‘kompany is admired by levy’ or ‘levy has held positive conversations with kompany’

That's true if you thought he was about to leave for Spurs. I never did. He'll wait for the Man City job and hopefully he has a long wait.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:47 pm

It’s perfect timing too, he can wave at the fans tomorrow with no fear of being misconstrued

You might not have done but, with respect, your personal opinion on it is meaningless. There was a possibility he could leave and that has just been eradicated to near zero.

As I said. Huge.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun May 07, 2023 4:52 pm

Fantastic news. The reality is that it will likely just mean more compo when he does eventually leave, and maybe this will make him slightly less desirable for other clubs. But crucially it almost certainly means he will be at the helm next season and that he thinks he will be given the tools to keep us up.
