A WEEK can be a long time in football, let alone five years. But Sean Dyche feels it will become increasingly difficult for managers to achieve similar longevity.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho recently inferred that, having recently celebrated his 24th anniversary as Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger was something of a dying breed.

“I think it is impossible for us with everything that surrounds the job, all of the pressures that surround the job,” he said.

And ahead of reaching his five-year milestone on Monday, Dyche agrees.

“I think the demands are so high now,” he said. “Everyone wants everything yesterday. We’re all guilty of it. I’ve got a TV and I’m surprised that it can’t get NASA involved in satellites, it’s got that many things on it. But in three years’ time you still want a new one.”

He added: “I think the demands are going to get higher. I don’t think they’re going to get lower. I think it (football) will become a very, very instant business.

“People say managers don’t know the club, but they don’t get time to know the club and the people and the culture and how it all works. It’s very difficult. I don’t know how they’re meant to get it if they haven’t been there long enough.

“There is more demand, it is harder, and I think it gets harder every year.

“It’s difficult to manage that demand let alone get a team out there to go and win, and that’s how it’s changed.”
