Vincent Kompany's success at Burnley makes him an inevitable target. Will he stay? Will he have made himself a Man City target by the time Pep leaves?
Beaten only twice in the league all season, they’re already on 80 points with ten games to go. Considering their form since relegation from the Premier League, with just two league defeats all season and only one since the second week in August, the biggest question at this stage in proceedings isn’t whether they’ll get promoted, but whether they’ll manage to break the 100-point barrier.
And the penalty that they’ve received could hardly be less exacting. A transfer embargo put in place in the middle of March, more than six weeks before the end of the January transfer window, seems unlikely to do the club any harm, presuming it can be lifted again before the end of this season. Under other circumstances, financial difficulties have been the reason for the late submission of company accounts, but there’s nothing to suggest that this has been the case.
That he was the right decision as a permanent replacement for Sean Dyche is just about beyond debate now, but Kompany’s achievement in getting Burnley into this position was not guaranteed. For better or for worse, the club lost a lot of experienced players upon relegation from the Premier League, and whoever came in was always going to have to significantly rebuild the team.
There is no suggestion that Pep Guardiola is going anywhere, but it is tempting to wonder whether the race to succeed him may involve these two potential candidates. They do both come with reasons for some degree of caution. Arteta may well be a Premier League-winning manager by the time the position becomes available.
