Despite how terrible Burnley and Sheffield United have been so far this season, what’s keeping those two managers in their jobs? At least Luton have managed to adjust to the premier league and are now getting results after a poor start

    When sacking a manager, you have to sit there and ask yourself as a club if there’s anyone available, or even interested in the job who could do better.

    I know you’re a United fan, and your fanbase (as with most bigger Prem clubs) jumps to “get X out” as soon as results start to deteriorate, but that isn’t a sustainable way for smaller clubs to build.

    Kompany is a decent, if green manager, and I think that once Burnley with all their new signings start to gel, they’ll be fine. That might come too late for it to mean anything this season, but clubs shouldn’t be panicking just because it hasn’t happened yet. Burnley will probably go down, and they’ll be fine. And will probably be in with a chance of coming straight back up with an even more experienced manager and a better-run team.
