How have Vincent Kompany and Paul Heckinbottom managed to last this long as premier league managers? (alien.top)

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

We need to be doing better, but I don't see why sacking the manager who got us here after 13 games is the answer. We're improving, as long as that continues I don't see a better option.

Since you're asking the question, why are you against clubs sticking by their manager rather than pulling the trigger?

Also, at the bottom 1 win changes all the perception. Burnley for me has had so many defensive errors. Burnley in the championship last year totally dictated the tempo of the game and now they have to adjust to prem level attackers and their lack of possession. I find it hard to believe that one of the better CBs in prem history can’t improve your defense and help minimize errors.

Luton got promoted mostly due to their stingy defense last season, which bodes much better for early season in the prem.

You are right, but it's worth pointing out that Burnley conceded the fewest goals last season.

But, to your point, we managed that through domination of possession and control of games rather than hunkering down and weathering the storm (which Luton did much more frequently)
