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

It's still only a third of the way into the season. Things can still turn around and narratives in football move fast. Everyone had Luton to go down after the first 5 games but now some are saying they could stay up after some good performances and results.

We may see some sackings around Christmas time or just after if things don't improve for either of those clubs.

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

Think that JJ would know more about pro/rel than DP. His wife is a professional footballer.
