It was kind of a despair move of Bayern as they had many rejections of higher profiled manager. He neither had a connection to Bayern nor he was a proven manager on elite level before this job. I say in his case his reputation as a player still helped him to get the job in one of the biggest club in the world, surely not what he achieved with Burnley overall and he speaks German what is very important for Bayern.
I am still a doubter of him as a manager, but can acknowledge he had a good start at Bayern. You need to be first with their squad obviously, but they were scoring a lot of goals. Lately haven't won any of their last 3 games tho.
This is simply not true.
Our squad is and was a lot better than Burnley's so basing the quality of football on position in the table alone doesn't add up at all.

But he hasn't been relegated with an atrocious team. He plays Kompany style, Everton are relegated 100%
Yes in the championship
Richardson was twice the player
I'm still not over him openly saying in the 4th week of preseason "oh we haven't worked on tactics yet". That sentence in that context tells you all about his mentality and why he will always be a relegation level manager

Does anyone deny that we had better squad and they played a bit better football?
Dyche won 24! points more on the pitch and that was the double amount of them and 3 times a deserved win in direct duels.
I don‘t think over the 38 games Kompany got that out of the squad that really was possible in terms of results. Finishing behind Luton with a better squad and 100m spent more.

Thankyou for proving my overarching point on here (apart from your last sentence)
Investment in squad quality is far far more important than football style or aesthetic in determining league position.
Your last sentence however, the league table is the ultimate dispassionate measurement of football quality. Football is about keeping the ball out at one end and putting it in the net at the other. The team that does this the best wins the league a the one the worst gets relegated with everyone ranked in position in between. So yes position in the table is determined by quality of football.
Everton were better last season at keeping the ball out at one end and scoring at the other over 38 games than Burnley were ergo played better quality football. Us having better players probably allowed us to do that the same way all the clubs finishing ahead of us had better players than us.
Just run the logic of your post even further, it’s basically saying that even with Kompany playing a football style good enough for Bayern, it didn’t make any difference to Burnley because of the squad quality. It was actually completely irrelevant. Maybe that should be kept in mind in here when people bleat on about football style when Everton managers are given bottom half squads and forced to sell their better players season after season.

I'm not so sure, he sat on his arse for a year after Burnley sacked him, until Everton decided they were desperate enough to give him a chance.
Not strictly true.
He went to a lot of festivals and also had his massage parlour in Accrington to run.
