Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has been speaking to the media before their final Premier League game of the season against Nottingham Forest at Turf Moor on Sunday (16:00 BST kick-off).

Here are the main lines from his news conference:

• Kompany said he is treating Sunday's game as the first of their preparations for next season: "It has been day one of the next season. It was really important to draw a line under it after game against Tottenham and move on to something really exciting."

• On decisions over players' futures, he said: "Hopefully we'll be able to communicate something in next few days."

• He insisted there has been no sulking since Burnley's relegation was confirmed: "There is no lack of motivation and no lack of desire. It's sometimes in human nature to sit down and sulk - to feel sorry for yourself. That is not in the culture here. It's not in my nature and not in the nature of many people here."

• Kompany said VAR needs to "evolve into something that actually works", adding: "We have to learn from our mistakes I think there’s a lot to learn from this year as well, in terms of how it has been officiated and how VAR played a part. My personal opinion has never been black or white - never completely for or against it."

• He said he will demand his players "go all out" in their bid to end the season on a high: "If we are treating this as the first game of next season, in terms of preparing for next season, then this game is an important game."

Wolves are in the news this week for their pursuit of a vote on the scrapping of VAR.

Their wishes drew further scrutiny on Wednesday when Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon found himself in the middle of a contentious call before offering a strong view on the technology after his side went down at Manchester United.

"Modified" is the word when we are talking about VAR going to a vote.

We are still getting to grips with it, but we have seen some good come from it. There have been some instances of indifferent decisions because calls are getting too many looks at them from so many angles.

They still do not know what is a good tackle and what is not. I think they need help from some former players, who have been in that situation and understand what the differences are in those challenges.

We keep talking about different angles and that is not going to go away because with VAR or without it, on certain challenges we would still disagree. You could have two current players in a room and they still would not agree.

It is Wolves' opinion on VAR and if they feel it is not working for them, then you can understand why they are saying to have a go without it again.

Molineux boss Gary O'Neil has been very frustrated, but he has also been balanced and tried to stay quiet. Now he does not want to stay quiet because he feels it does not benefit them and decisions are not going their way.

Overall, we have seen good things from VAR, even if it does bring with it a delay and a wait.

It would be a shame now for it to all go away when we have all the technology in place.
