Burnley Fan View: Six points in Six days and Sean Dyche is still in the building
With rumours of Sean Dyche potentially leaving to join Everton mounting in the media, Burnley took car of business this week with 1-0 wins against both Newcastle and Southampton to bring our tally up to 19 points after just 11 games.
Although the media frenzy being whipped up doesn’t appear to have any substance so far, it is a story that isn’t going away and Dyche remains favourite to take over at Goodison Park. I don’t know any more than any other Burnley fan but I don’t believe the rumours are genuine.

Dyche doesn’t suit Everton one bit in my opinion. This is a club who have a new owner with heavy investment in playing staff – I’m not sure Dyche is the sort of manager they will be looking at simply because he doesn’t have much reputation outside of the UK and he isn’t really known to be playing attractive football that you would want you’re £150m to buy you. Everton don’t want to go back to the Moyes era that’s for sure.
I would be more inclined to believe they go with someone like Roberto Mancini or even Marco Silva. These managers fit the bill far more than Sean, fortunately for us.
Amidst the rumours, Burnley had two games this week, at home to Newcastle on Monday Night Football, then away at Southampton on Saturday at 3pm.
The first game looked to be heading to a frustrating 0-0, until Gudmundssons precise cross found Jeff Hendrick unmarked to lash the ball home. I thought both teams defended really well and it looked like if either team could score it would be the winner and that’s exactly how it ended. Jack Cork in particular was excellent.

That pushed us up to 7th in the league going into the away game at St Mary’s, a place we’ve struggled to win at in the top flight in recent years.
Southampton dominated possession and shots, something of a theme for Burnley away this season. However our fitness showed and after 80 minutes of dogged defending we broke, and Sam Vokes scored a precise header – our only shot of the game.
Once we take the lead it feels like we can hold on forever and sure enough the match ended 0-0. Another three points and we are pulling further away from the bottom three each week. In fact at 5pm on Satuday we were closer to top of the league (9pts) than the bottom three (11pts).
We can only pray that Dyche is not interested by Everton – or West Ham who look like they might let Slaven Bilic go. He is critical to everything we do and I genuinely believe A top 10 finish is easily attainable if he remains our manager
