Administrator Stan 18,404 Posted April 7, 2023 Administrator Share Posted April 7, 2023 Sealed their return to the top tier with a win over Middlesbrough today. Only lost 2 games all season so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,828 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 They deserve it, really reinvented themselves under Kompany, fair play to them. Going to be a few fans surprised at this 'new' Burnley next season that probably haven't seen much of them this year. They'll cause some problems but it will be interesting to see who Kompany manages to attract to the club at PL level, that's obviously a different kettle of fish.

Yes, they were by far the best team in the Championship this season and they looked extremely strong in this division. The Premier League though is of course a different kettle of fish, so Kompany will have to make some shrewd signings over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,919 Posted April 8, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted April 8, 2023 If we get relegated we should be looking to emulate exactly what they've done. A genuine overhaul and buy in to an upcoming coach and they've reaped the rewards. I'd go as far as saying they're fairly likely to survive next season too. Well done.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,365 Posted April 8, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted April 8, 2023 I hope he does well and will look forward to seeing him play against City, Pep seems to work wonders with guys who played for him or as a coach, like Arteta.

Not sure I'd say that just yet tbh. They will need a lot more improvement and this team they have will need PL experience. I think the Championship has been very misleading this year, I wouldn't particularly say it's been one of the best for quality. Look how easy Middlesbrough and to an extent, West Brom got themselves back up there after a few wins. Norwich have been pretty poor and yet they hover just outside the playoffs. But I do think if Burnley play the way they have been, they'll have a better chance of survival than just staying solid and looking to make the most of set pieces etc. I think they'll need at least two capable strikers at PL level and they have some loan issues that will need to be sorted. I would expect Kompany to pull a couple decent unknowns in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,406 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I imagine they'll be the blueprint for sides going down that need a rebuild going forwards without people realising how impressive of a job the recruitment team and staff have done to assemble this squad.

They're by a mile too good for the Championship and it's rare that a team absolutely demolishes that league and goes down, unless your name is Norwich City who for some reason have some mental block at this level.

OrangeKhrush 298 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 They have done wonderfully well, however they will need substantial improvements to stay up. they have Barnes, Rodriguez and Weghorst for some serious shithousery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tar-Mairon 93 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Brilliantly done. A lot, for them, will depend on what they can do in the transfer window and if Kompany stays because this season has been noted by a few Premier League teams who will be in for a manager in the summer.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted April 14, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted April 14, 2023 Kompany had done a great job. Fair play. I hope he gets snapped up by a better club and they go back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
