Burnley boss Sean Dyche is open to the hiring of a technical director.

Dyche was particularly frustrated at a failure to complete the business he wanted to during the summer transfer window and described the potential recruitment as another step forward for the club.

He said: "We're trying to move the club forward on and off the pitch. All of this speaks for it off the pitch in many ways, the structure and everything. On the pitch with signings and stuff like that and adding to the framework of the inner workings of the club.

"We feel there's a possibility of a role that would fit and that's where it's at, at the moment. We're talking about it, myself, the chairman, the board, chief executive, about how that role works at a club like this.

"It won't be a technical director as in one who pulls all the strings. It's more of a conduit so we're all on the same page."
