Burnley boss Sean Dyche is upbeat about the club's future under ALK Capital's ownership.

Sky Sports says Dyche is optimistic about plans for the club following “healthy and open" talks with new chairman Alan Pace.

Pace has been in situ a little over three months, following the takeover by ALK Capital, and has already backed Dyche as the man to take the Clarets forward.

While Burnley still have work to do to guarantee a sixth-successive season in the Premier League, Dyche and Pace are working on a “plan of attack" to keep the club moving in the right direction.

Should Burnley again retain their top-flight status, Dyche will have achieved the feat with a weaker squad than last season, both in terms of numbers and quality, having spent less than £1m across both transfer windows.

Dyche believes the duo have established clear lines, with Pace looking at improving the business side of the club and the manager trusted to continue his fine work on the footballing side.
