Burnley manager Sean Dyche should remain in Lancashire, according to former Claret Ian Brennan.

Bookmakers have listed Dyche as one of the favourites to take over the vacant managerial post at Crystal Palace.

"I just hope that Sean stays because he is one heck of a manager," the former defender told the Lancashire Post.

"Sean is the glue that holds it all together. Players will come to Burnley because of him, players will stay at Burnley because of him, and if he goes you're going to lose perhaps the nucleus of the team as well as the staff.

"He will take his physios and coaches, one or two players who are in two minds at the moment will end up leaving, other people won't come.

"For what he's done you just hope and pray that he stays."
