Sean Dyche says that he would be happy to work with a technical director at Burnley.

Many managers, especially in the English game, are hesitant to work with a director of football-type figure.

But Dyche believes that having such expertise would help ease the load, instead of challenging his authority.

"We are trying to move the club forward on and off the pitch, all of this speaks to off the pitch in many ways, the structure, on the field with signings and adding to the sort of framework of the inner workings of the club and I think that is what it is more about," said Dyche to the Lancashire Telegraph.

"We feel that there is a possibility of a role that would fit and the possibility of looking at some people who might fit that role, forgetting about the title it is more about the role.

"I think there is an added focus to some of the bits that get in between, whether you are dealing with agents, dealing with contracts, recruitment.

"I think the one thing that will be a probable here if we go ahead and we find someone who we think works, is that it won't be a technical director as in one who covers all the possibilities and pulls all the strings it won't be that kind of technical director – it is more of a helping hand, a conduit to work through so we are all on the same page."
