'They drove me crazy' – Ex-Anderlecht boss slams Vincent Kompany's 'bulls*** stories' and 'nonsense' scouting system | The Sun

BURNLEY have been warned to beware of Vincent Kompany's "bull***t" – by his predecessor as Anderlecht boss.

Manchester City legend Kompany has taken charge of the relegated Clarets following three years at the Belgian giants.



Kompany failed to restore his country's biggest club to their former glories, and the 36-year-old came under fire for his "Trust the Process" motto.

Johan Boskamp, who led Anderlecht to three titles in the 1990s, has now savaged the 89-cap international.

The Dutchman, who managed Stoke during the 2005-6 season, has also coached seven other top Belgian sides and Georgia's national team.

Boskamp, 73, fumed: "Kompany's style of play was a breath of fresh air – but his bull***t stories about 'The Process' certainly weren't.

"They drove me crazy. Whoever becomes Anderlecht coach knows that he has to win the league title – end of story.

"If you still haven't done it after three years in charge, it is normal for people to lose patience with you.

"That 'Trust the Process' phrase scared the s**t out of me. Ditto for that c**p data they now use as a basis for scouting.

"True football experts recognise talent with the naked eye. They don't rely on numbers in a computer to scout players.
