indeed this can be used as an excuse to make Kompany not look bad enough because after all the EPL is a club full of unpleasant situations because the EPL is full of competition so for a club like Burnley, which is actually a small club, it is definitely difficult to survive but the truth is that This can be broken with several other clubs, even if we look at this season, Everton and Nottingham Forrest, which are just as mediocre as Burnley, can even survive even if they get a drop in points. So this might not be a strong reason if it refers to a mediocre club because even though the club is small, if they can do it consistently by maximizing the existing players then they can still survive, just like Nottingham Forrest and Everton, where even the penalty for deducting points is very crazy in the season. This.
Apart from that, for Kompany this was actually the last step after Xabi refused and Nagelsmann didn't want to get involved because he was probably still hurt by what happened before so the last option was Kompany, but in the current conditions the risks and pressure would definitely be much greater than before.
I feel like those weren't really the only two candidates. I mean do you really think that the only chances that Bayern had in the world was either get Xabi, convince Nagelsmann or they are forced with Kompany? These are not the only three managers in the world.
I feel like they could have hired a manager that wasn't a relegation from premier league as his last season, they could have hired someone much better but they did not. I am sure they think they saw something in Kompany, and that would be ok and if they are right then the team will do fine, it will not do that badly. I think it's quite obvious that we are talking about taking a big risk and they are going to see if their risk will pay off in the end of the season.
Even though what you say may be true, we can see in the last few reports that there are only 4 names that are always associated with Bayern, the previous one being Xabi and they gave up because wants to return to the Alianz Arena. Next there is the name Ten Hag who is rumored to be bartering with Tuchel but this is just a rumor and in the end Bayern chose Kompany. Apart from that, there are no other rumors, so what I say is not wrong because after all Bayern is only dealing with these names.
No one can predict what Kompany wants to see for Bayern now, but when Bayern have decided, they know what they are doing and we just need to wait to see whether their decision is correct or whether it ends up being a blunder again.
