BURNLEY manager Vincent Kompany has banned a tradition that was routine under previous boss Sean Dyche.
The Clarets secured promotion back to the Premier League at their first attempt on Friday.

Sean Dyche is now in charge of Everton
Kompany was appointed gaffer over the summer and quickly made changes to the way things were run.
The Athletic report that it was normal during Dyche’s ten years at the club for players to bring in cakes when it was a member of the squad’s birthday.
Kompany found this out when players came to the training ground in pre-season on the day Jack Cork’s turned 33-years-old.
The new man in charge immediately put a stop to this and cakes were banned for all, including for the birthday boy.
Sauces were also taken off the table and not allowed.
Kompany had previously seen stars become unhappy over a lack of cake at Manchester City when Yaya Toure was reportedly left upset in 2014 when the club failed to mark his celebration.
However, there has been no such issues at Burnley, who sit eleven points clear at the top of the league.
But there is no time to party just yet with Kompany keen to get his hands on the title.
