There's no underlying agenda with Dyche, more that he needs to trust his players and once you've earned his trust then he'll stick by you.
He's definitely old-school and that is all it comes down to. He's a good fit for Burnley. If he were to go somewhere a bit more high-profile where the expectations for a certain standard or style of play were different then he might struggle, not for points, but more man-managing and handling the types of players that might not respond to his methods.
