Burnley set to announce Dyche as new boss
6:00am Monday 29th October 2012 in Sport
By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
BURNLEY are expected to announce Sean Dyche as their new manager tomorrow.
As exclusively reported in Saturday's Lancashire Telegraph, former Watford boss Dyche was offered the job towards the end of last week and asked for the weekend to think it over.
The 41-year-old watched the Clarets slip to a 4-0 defeat at Cardiff City on Saturday, having been invited to the game as a guest of Malky Mackay, his former boss at Vicarage Road and the man he succeeded as Watford manager in the summer of 2011.
In the meantime there was believed to have been an 11th hour push from some members of the board to plump for a more audacious appointment, with Blackpool boss Ian Holloway their intended target.
But Dyche was thought to have been favoured by three of the five directors and is understood to have now indicated that he is willing to accept the job.
He is expected to be installed as Eddie Howe's successor tomorrow after winning a majority vote from the board.
On Saturday, ahead of the game at the Cardiff City Stadium, operational director Brendan Flood posted a message on Twitter saying: “Appointing a new manager is legally/financially more complicated than it looks. We have five director opinions, some ambitious, some cautious.”
Dyche is believed to have been favoured by at least one of the joint chairmen following a rigorous and lengthy interview process conducted by John Banaszkiewicz and Mike Garlick over the last fortnight, before the rest of the five-man board got involved to assess the shortlist, which also included St Johnstone's Steve Lomas and Falkirk chief Steven Pressley.
Saturday's disappointing loss at Cardiff escalated the need to make a managerial appointment, and the board were believed to have met yesterday to bring their manager search nearer to a conclusion.
Caretaker boss Terry Pashley had previously bought the club time by overseeing the club's first back-to-back league wins of the season – the first against Holloway's Blackpool at Turf Moor.
After a humbling at the hands of the league leaders, Pashley said: “I've spoken to the board, but nothing in terms of what's going to happen.
“The chairmen have been asking how things have been going, but in terms of a new appointment nothing has been mentioned to me, no.
“We came down (on Friday) and after we got to the hotel I spoke to them, but not since then.
“I have nothing to report.”
He added: “If that was my last game, it's been an experience.
“I'm an employee of Burnley Football Club and I've been asked to do a job, and I've enjoyed doing it.”

If he was offered the job at the end of last week, whats he got to think about.?
I have noticed there hasn't been any dingle posts on our blackburn pages for some time now, maybe because you have realised that in the same league, or one below us, that you lot are just inferior?! Hahahaha!

That said he does have experience in this division and is generally held in high regard. Would sooner have him as manager that someone who has never managed at this level. We were lucky with Coyle who has since been found out as wanting. It is unlikely we would drop lucky again with another Scottish appointment.

Neither sad nor sorry to be a BFC fan, but mire than happy and thank the lucky stars I am not a fan of the Chuckle Brothers Comedy Show.
Enjoy your moment of a false sense of security before reality kicks in especially when the financial situation and extent of indebtedness BRFC are in. It won't be too long before the administrators are knocking on the doors at Ewood

What is key stage 3?
Patterson - a sicknote who spends more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. Should have let forrest sign him when cotteril was interested.
No way can you be a Burnley fan. I don't know how you have the cheek to call anybody a simpleton with the crp you post.

Another cheap option by our ambitious board who apparently could not make their minds up on three OUTSTANDING candidates namely; Sean Dyche, Steven Pressley and Steve Lomas. You can say what you like about McCarthy, Appleton, Davies or Holloway but the majority of Clarets fans would prefer one of these as our new manager as opposed to those who the wonderful board were considering and now have apparently made up their minds upon. What the board does not understand is that appointments like these only cause to alienate the fans even more resulting in low attendances and sales of top players resulting in even lower gates and even less revenue. Division 1 HERE WE COME.

What the board lack in so called ambition they make up for in common sense.

So that's ten major trophies. Find me another town team with a better record than that.

I've just helped you out - Rovers have won 10 major trophies in their history. I'm challenging you to find me another club based in an English town that has won more than that. There isnt one. The only existing town that comes close is West Bromwich, and its debateable as to how much of a town that is these days, being engulfed by the vast population of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Its no use saying x used to be a town but is now a city, because that then doesnt count, because it isnt a town, get it?
I don't believe Rovers are something they are not. These are the facts that I am relying upon. Best write that cheque for £100, if you've ever seen a chequebook.

Wolverhampton for example, won all their silverware as a town. They did not achieve city status until after the millenium. You have won no more silverware as a town than they did as a town.
