Ended badly for them. Really, really bad.I actually paid no attention to whom Burnley's coach is at the moment. Turns out his name is Michael Jackson. I learned that today.

Only good thing about Burnley being relegated today (them or leeds) is the derby against Blackburn. Massive rivalry that and been a while now since!Obviously as a Blackburn fan, I'm delighted that they've been relegated. We also get 2 local derbies against them next season.
I was worried that the flurry of 10 points from 4 games after sacking Dyche would be enough to see them stay up, but thankfully not !
With the nature of their finances and their leveraged buyout (even me as someone who despises them was concerned about that), I wonder how this effect them going forward. Obviously parachute payments give relegated teams such a big advantage in the Championship, but there was a feeling that relegation would affect them harder than other clubs.
On paper they've also sacked a manager who has previously got them promoted twice before, and both times in very impressive circumstances.
I'm really looking forward to those games. We've been a mid-tablish Championship club for the past 4 seasons, so anything that adds extra spice and excitement to our season is always good. It's cool that us, Burnley, Preston and Blackpool will all be in the same division for a series of Lancashire derbies.Only good thing about Burnley being relegated is the derby against Blackburn.

Yeah, and also got the Watford v Luton rivalry back with fans finally also. If only Sheff W got promoted but can't get everything.I'm really looking forward to those games.

Yes the fact that they stayed up for so long, with 2 top 10 finishes along the way, was a testament to what an excellent job he was doing. They were clearly overachieving given their resources and spending, and continuing to keep them up was always going to prove increasingly difficult. Obviously 1 win in the first 21 games this season was not good at all (from their perspective - I didn't mind !), but it's not like they were marooned with no chance of staying up. And at that stage, it's not like they'd been routinely battered every week, as the vast majority of their games were very competitive. But failing to build on the big win over Everton with that limp defeat against Norwich would have been very frustrating.Can they get him back? No idea what the owners were thinking, he constantly got them to out perform the ability of the players and they sacked him and expect things to improve
They only looked like surviving when they sacked him he was clearly taking them down and deserved the pushCan they get him back? No idea what the owners were thinking, he constantly got them to out perform the ability of the players and they sacked him and expect things to improve
On what basis? Keano said the same on Sky but I just can’t understand why he/you/anyone would think that.Still think they would've stayed up with him in charge. I don't think they'll be back.
Yep.The only reason Burnley got relegated was because they didn't get rid of Dyche soon enough.
He's been there before and got them over the line and I think he would've done it again. The caretaker tried his best but he's just a coach, they should've tried to get a stop gap manager in.On what basis? Keano said the same on Sky but I just can’t understand why he/you/anyone would think that.
I was surprised when they sacked Dyche they didn't get in a Big Sam type stop gap but ultimately Jackson got a decent tune out of them, 10 points from first 4 games so I really don't think anyone else could've come in and done better. And they still ended up 3 points short of safety.He's been there before and got them over the line and I think he would've done it again.

You'd have to appoint someone else the moment he got them up though.Daniel Farke also linked, I think that would be smart appointment given what he did at Norwich.
Yep. Ironically it was almost certainly previous that meant he survived 1 win in 21, that's Derby 07/08 standard.Yep.
The people who think he would have kept them up - I question how much of Burnley you saw with him in charge this season. Total dogshit.
The usual ego driven owners who thought they could do better with another manager while ignoring Dyche had them punching well above their weight.Can they get him back?

Reminds me a bit of Charlton and Alan Curbishly, as soon as they sacked him, they plummeted down.The usual ego driven owners who thought they could do better with another manager while ignoring Dyche had them punching well above their weight.
Dyche didn’t really show anything though in the games remaining that he could keep them up. They took a gamble and it almost saved them as they just didn’t win enough games under Dyche. 4 games won in 30 games is atrocious.Reminds me a bit of Charlton and Alan Curbishly, as soon as they sacked him, they plummeted down.
Some managers are just a good fit for a club.
Yeah, people are kind of looking at this the wrong way. Was he great this season? No. Would he have kept them up? Probably not. Was he their best chance of bouncing back again next season? Certainly.Reminds me a bit of Charlton and Alan Curbishly, as soon as they sacked him, they plummeted down.

With their new parasite owners, yeah no chance.I don’t think they’ll be back up for a while
Good point. Certainly adds interest from a neutral's perspective as well.I'm really looking forward to those games.

Yes very simliar.Reminds me a bit of Charlton and Alan Curbishly, as soon as they sacked him, they plummeted down.
