Kompany enters Moyes race

Vincent Kompany could be a possible candidate for the West Ham job, according to insider @ExWHUEmployee.

The Burnley manager appears to be on the cusp of pulling off something of a Houdini act, with recent form propelling the club to within three points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Whilst I have my reservations about whether Hammers owner David Sullivan would sanction a move for the former Manchester City captain, I quite like the idea.

Kompany enters the race to replace Moyes

Kompany is the kind of forward-thinking manager who would be the perfect antidote to David Moyes’ pragmatic style of football. Despite spending most of the season rooted in the EPL relegation zone, the Belgian coach has stuck to his principles and never wavered from his preferred style of football.

Moreover, I have been impressed by Burnley’s performances against West Ham when we have played them this season. While Kompany may not have the managerial pedigree of current favourite Julen Lopetegui, he has vast knowledge of the English game and carries himself impressively.

I’m quite sure there’s little to no chance of West Ham taking a risk on a relative newbie. However, he would certainly be someone who could change the culture of the club.
