Dyche not taking Burnley job for granted

Despite securing Burnley back-to-back seasons in the top flight for the first time since 1975, Sean Dyche insists that he does not take his job for granted.

The Burnley boss has been at Turf Moor since October 2012 and has now kept the Clarets in the Premier League after winning the Championship title last season.

Burnley are the only team who finished in the bottom seven of the Premier League this term who haven’t made a change in the dugout, and Dyche recognises that football can be fickle.

“Football changes rapidly, you can go hero to zero on a weekly basis. Fans want change, the board want change, media want change,” said Dyche.

“I’ve never been afraid of it because I know it’s a reality, I don’t take my position here for granted either just because we’ve achieved so much over the years.”

The Clarets boss is the seventh longest serving manager among the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in England, but the fast-blowing winds of change in football are something that he clearly accepts.

“I know if you don’t win enough games you get him out. It’s the way the game is now, the demand of the game and the fans,” said Dyche.

“At the minute we’re going well, we’ve had another good season on top of a few good seasons, but we’ve got to do it all again, otherwise people will say ‘nah, bored of him now’.”
