Burnley boss Sean Dyche: I know the sack will come

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits he goes into the new season still fearing the sack.

Dyche is preparing to kickoff their season against Aberdeen for their Europa League qualifier.

Dyche said: “I know that my day will come. Not because I'm good, bad or indifferent, just because that's the nature of football. It's very, very, difficult year on year.

“I don't think there is a manager out there who is unsackable. The idea any manager was unsackable went years ago.

“Brian Clough was the last one who was allowed an inglorious finish – ­Nottingham Forest going down in his last season.

“Rather than get rid of him in the March they were prepared to stand by him. He's Brian Clough and he's built this club and all that.

“With Arsene Wenger, let's say he was eased out into a situation which suited the club. If he can get that treatment, my day will come. Everyone's day will come.

“I'd be very surprised if there's anyone in a boardroom across the Premier League sitting there saying there's absolutely no way their manager will go no matter what happens."
