What Sean Dyche said when questioned on his future at Burnley

We take a look a what manager Sean Dyche said when questioned by Lancashire Live on his future at Premier League club Burnley.

This comes with reports that he he is eyeing an exit from Turf Moor at end of season, despite having two years left on his contract.

He could bet set to walk away prematurely from his deal due to growing frustrations in which he is disappointed by the failure to agree contract extensions for senior players.

It is also said to be down to a breakdown in relationship with chairman Mike Garlick over contract extension woes and lack of budget for transfer window.

He has been at the club nearly 10 years, where he’s earned himself an outstanding record, which would put other Premier League club on alert.

Crystal Palace and West Ham have said they want the 48-year-old in the past, while Bournemouth and Aston Villa could want to speak him if they are in the market for a new manager this summer in the event of relegation.

So, what was said by the Burnley manager when asked if he was questioning his future due to contract frustrations?

He said: “I just look at the facts and try and share a view on that.

“Emotion sometimes creeps into that but not very often or I try and park it quickly.

“I think the business opportunities that are available, and when they become available, we have got to get on top of them. I just want to give a factual view of the situation. That is all I have tried to do on this. It is a situation that I think could have been changed.”

He repeatedly said during his press conference ahead of the game with Watford on Thursday that this was the first occasion during his seven and a half year tenure that he had questioned the hierarchy.

And he said last week that while he was frustrated at the situation, he wasn’t ‘less happy’.

Dyche has admitted that the task at the club is becoming harder each season given the financial restraints in place compared to the majority of teams in the league.

“Yes, (with) the ongoing effects of the financial control of the club,” he said with the Clarets chief hoping to see the purse strings loosened to enable him to strengthen his squad during the transfer window.

“I said probably two years ago that we needed to stretch the finance levels and that is an ongoing challenge at Burnley Football Club.

“We are not in any financial difficulties that is for sure.”

Burnley’s players are aware of Dyche’s feelings, with his possible departure understood to be the talk of the dressing room, which would leave many of them devastated.

One report claims that the Clarets are considering Bristol City manager Lee Johnson and Mark Hughes as possible candidates to replace Dyche.
