VINCENT KOMPANY has been compared to a ‘beautiful girl’ in a wacky comparison from his team chairman.
The Burnley manager has been linked to jobs at Chelsea and Tottenham, but recently signed a five-year contract with the Clarets to end the speculation.
But, his own club chairman described having him as manager being like dating “the most beautiful girl in town”.
The bizarre comparison was made by Alan Pace, who was talking about how long the Clarets can hold onto Kompany as manager.
Kompany managed to lead the team back to the Premier League on his first attempt, but Pace knows he wont be able to keep him at Burnley forever.
Speaking to BBC Lancashire, Pace said: “My worry, as I tried to explain to him… it’s like dating the most beautiful girl in town and knowing there’s probably no chance she’s ever going marry you.

“But, everyone else wants to marry her. So how long can you date, how long can you stay together as a couple?
“I hope it’s for a very very long time. But that’s kind of up to her.”
Kompany has dismissed speculation that he might leave Burnley, saying he is “completely dedicated” to his role as manager.
He has been a massive hit at the team since taking the reins last summer.

After completely rebuilding the playing squad and reinventing their playing style, Kompany managed to lead Burnley to the top of the Championship.
With the team finishing with 101 points, it made it one of the division’s best sides ever.
But the current rising star in management will have his work cut out trying to survive next year’s Premier League.
The top flight will be a much harder test for Burnley, Pace and Kompany compared to the Championship.
The team will know they can’t rest on their laurels after such a strong season, so the upcoming transfer window will be an important one.
