The Burnley manager has recently been critical of referees, particularly following Lorenz Assignon’s contentious red card against Chelsea last week, which is one of several incidents that have gone against Burnley this season.

Kompany himself was sent off for his reaction in the dugout and has subsequently received an FA charge for misconduct.

While he accepts the charge, Kompany stresses that his comments to footballing authorities are made with the broader interests of the game in mind.

Kompany acknowledges the challenges posed by VAR and new rules but believes there is room for constructive dialogue and improvement.

He maintains that his comments on refereeing standards were fair and objective, aiming for constructive criticism rather than hostility.

Regarding his upcoming FA charge, Kompany indicates that his focus is currently on preparing for Burnley’s next game against Everton, rather than dwelling on disciplinary matters.

He intends to address the charge internally with the club once the immediate priority of the game has passed.
