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

    Burnley stuck with Dyche through many years of promotion and relegation between the Championship and Premier League. I am amazed that anyone is thinking that Kompany’s position is on the line. Burnley are not the type of club to fire a manager after a poor start to the season.

      That’s all irrelevant as soon as you get new owners. The “type” of club you are is entirely defined by who owns the club. The previous owners were not the type to sack willy nilly, doesn’t mean the new owners are necessarily the same. Who do you think would be in a senior enough position to fire the manager, that has existed through the various ownerships, and has maintained a club philosophy like that? Very rarely. A DoF would do that if they retained their role across ownerships, but if you are reporting directly to the owner then the club takes its shape from the owners management style

        Must be other investors as well. But neither of those mentioned would seem to be driving any type of change without a clear DoF in charge.

        Granted I do like both JJ and DP but I wouldn’t expect them to know the complexities surrounding promotion/relegation in the EPL
