Dyche is offered Burnley role

SEAN Dyche has been offered the Burnley job, the Lancashire Telegraph understands.

But the former Watford boss is also believed to be wanted by Crystal Palace, so has asked for the weekend to think over the offer.

Speculation about Ian Holloway's future at Blackpool could also yet provide another intriguing twist in the search for Eddie Howe's successor, which is expected to reach a conclusion next week.

Dyche initially headed a three-man shortlist. Falkirk boss Steven Pressley and St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas were also in the running for the Turf Moor hotseat, while the Clarets chiefs are also later thought to have considered an ambitious move for Holloway.

But Dyche is believed to be favoured by joint chairmen John Banaszkiewicz and Mike Garlick.

The Clarets could still make a move for Holloway, who is thought to be disillusioned at Bloomfield Road.

 

A fee of £400,000 is believed to be enough for a compensation package.

The new manager will also inherit a director of football, with West Bromwich Albion’s head of technical recruitment Lee Darnbrough set to start in December – an appointment which Eddie Howe is understood to have pushed for before leaving to return to Bournemouth, but one which will be honoured by the club.

Caretaker boss Terry Pashley will remain in charge for today’s game at Cardiff City, with the new manager set to take the reins next week and prepare for his first game, at home to Wolves next Saturday.

Dyche would perhaps be considered a surprise choice, given other names that were linked with the role, including former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy and Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton, who would be familiar with Darnbrough from his time at West Brom, where he had spells as a coach under Tony Mowbray and Roy Hodgson, caretaker manager and assistant to head coach Roberto Di Matteo.

However, Dyche comes with an impressive coaching pedigree, which began with Watford’s youth system in July 2009 under Malky Mackay, before he worked his way up to become the Scot’s successor two years later.

The 41-year-old former Chesterfield, Watford and Northampton defender guided Watford to their highest league finish for four years in his first season in charge, amassing 64 points, but was controversially sacked following a change in ownership.

Gianfranco Zola was named as his replacement a week later.

Since his dismissal the former Nottingham Forest trainee has worked with the England Under 21 set-up on a temporary coaching basis.

'clowns at Burnley'
I take it you are comparing a board who;
know what they want,
have made approaches and conducted interviews,
will have the man they want in place next week and wll be supported by the fans.
are strengthening the management structure with a director of football,
against the profesional way in which the bstrds board are going about conducting your club business?
And this coming from a bstrd fan who knows nothing about football managers given a lack of suggestions for manager of his own club!

I hope he gets the job. seriously, it'd be a good move!

I mean, your next feeble signature will be comedy gold!

How about "Bonleh fans love Dyche"

Or "in Dyche we trust", or perhaps "I'm a Dyche head".

To be fair, none of them are more embarrassing then "Terry's of Bonleh".

That's weak even by your lowley, genetically challenged standard.

Ha ha x

Don't cry!

Clueless. Dyche did an unbelievable job at Watford with no resources. The reason? The players really wanted to play for him. His sacking was totally unjustified (not Zola's fault mind)

All the best to SD if he takes the job (except when the Clarets play the Hornets of course) - Burnley will be getting a good'un.

Looking forward to taking 3 points home to Hertfordshire this afternoon!

If the reports are true then this appointment just about sums up our board: CLUELESS, HOPELESS AND CHEAPSKATES. iI really do hope the fans now wake up to what this board is about and has been about for many a year under the leadership of " I didn't bet the ranch Kilby". Regards the co-chairmanship, if two chairman cannot agree then it is time to ditch the idea and ditch them as well. Just watch the gates go down now and Austin will be sold in January. IT IS TIME FOR A BOYCOTT. Starting with the Wolves home game on Saturday.

if the directors or fans are not going to use their own personal money or the club willing to take on an enormous amount of debt (secured against what i don't know), then you have to accept we have only the revenues generated to work with While we have premiership aspirations, we are a championship club with a league one budget.
We are where we are because of a long term plan that is in place. This encompasses many aspects of the club and its revenue generating capabilities.
We've gone from near extinction to where we are today, i'd have taken that before the orient game.
A lot of work has and continues to go into developing both the footballing and revenue generating aspects of the club, with a number of these projects at a relatively early stage, but worth pursuing if we are to survive in the money bag world of football.
If this is you sounding off because, like the rest of us, you came back yesterday with your tail between your legs, I can understand your frustration. They were on form, we were crp and lucky to go home losing only four nil. The game doesn't merit much more comment. Express your dissapointment, but blaming the board for every loss is hardly constructive.
If no one among us has or is willing to put that sort of money in, then the best we can hope for are some individuals among us to at least be willing to sit on the board and give their knowledge to help guide the club forward. Business advice at that level, in any activity, would be invoiced at quite a considerable amount
Directors loans. Quite frankly not many institutions will lend a football club money at the same rate as your morgage may be if you have one. If you need to borrow money, then you don't need me to tell you that you would source your loan at the lowest possible cost. If the cheapest source of a loan happens to be arranged from a director, then its good that the director is willing to put his own money at risk to help the club reduce its finance costs. He could say no...pss off...no one else is willing to put their money in why should I! I can get 5% return from guilts, why put it at risk lending to Burnley?
So in the absence of an individual willing to bank roll the club, the directors we have are, in my opinion, doing their best to ensure we don't have to play a game like we did against orient again.

The same directors were in place when the Clarets got promoted to the Premiership three years ago after a 33yr absence and they blew it. They blew the chance for the club to still be in the Premiership now, so why should we trust the same no ambition jokers who call themselves a board. This is Brian Laws all over again and the echoes of "Sack the board, sack the board, sack the board." during Bob Lord's reign could very well be returning to the terraces sooner than we think.
