This is the fourth time Burnley have won promotion to the Premier League since 2009 but things will be different under Vincent Kompany compared with previous incumbents Owen Coyle and Sean Dyche.
At the age of 37 and having learned from Pep Guardiola, Kompany is very much a 21st century manager.
Burnley, despite their small-town status, are going to reflect that, as Brighton and Brentford have already proved, modern methods give you a chance of competing well in the richest league in the world.
Recruitment strategy at Turf Moor has been given a makeover with Dyche’s long-serving UK senior scout and head of European recruitment Ian Butterworth among several redundancies, and head of technical scouting George Foster-Vigors calling the shots.
