I admire Dyche & Burnley who are a very well run club, a club we fought neck & neck with not so long ago & are now world's apart

For me Dyche is the best PL manager & Burnley the best PL team, they shouldn't be in the PL on their recourses, but for 4 seasons now they've never looked in any danger of been relegated
Everton, Newcastle are 2 massive clubs who have struggled to finish above Burnley, Villa are another, as are West Ham
I honestly can't understand people disliking them at all, I wish the Boro were as successful as Burnley, yes Ben may think he was messed about, but is he good enough for the PL, no other PL team came in for him, time will tell on that as I think Norwich will be promoted this season

The PL is not all about Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea etc, its more about the Burnley, Brighton & Sheff United of this world

Saying that Dyche & Burnley are a perfect fit, IMHO, if he managed another team he wouldn't have the same success, if he left Burnley they would struggle to stay in the PL

I hope Burnley continue to comfortably stay in the PL they are a credit to football

Wasn't he going to sign for them the season us & Burnley were promoted & for some reason it didn't happen?

Yes that’s right. Brighton didn’t want to sell in the end and wanted him for their promotion push the following season. They now have their man. Great post above Erimus. Echo my thoughts on Burnley exactly. They are an honest club with scarce resources trying to compete in an impossible imbalanced financial split. They are struggling at the moment with huge injury problems. Mee and Tarkowski are top CBS to have missing and the decision to sell Ben was made before their injuries. Gibson has been unlucky having had little game time behind two such players.
 
Could be a long season for Burnley, they haven’t improved whereas the likes of Brighton look like they have. The only thing that might save them is Leeds and Fulham seem determined to concede 3 every game. It will be the usual suspects down the bottom West Ham, Villa and I don’t see Burnley much better than them if they get a few injuries.

Maybe but with players like Mee, Tarkowski, Cork, Gudmundsson, Barnes and Rodriguez Out they will struggle and need them back ASAP.
