Burnley in good shape despite relegation - Dyche

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is not too concerned about his club's drop back to the Championship.

The Clarets were relegated from the Premier League despite beating Hull City 1-0 at the KC Stadium on Saturday and now face another season back in the second division.

However, Dyche feels the run in the top flight will do his players well and is expecting that experience to benefit the Lancashire outfit, who run on a very moderate budget, next term and in the future.

"We have got to look forward and learn from this division - there is no point constantly worrying about what's been done," he said.

"The reality of football in the Premier League is that the debts are huge and people are willing to write them off, but our board members do not have tens of millions so there has to be a balance.

"That was the reality of the club - it has been here for 133 years and it has to be here for many more years to come, and the club is certainly in good shape."
