Burnley manager Sean Dyche insisted he is still not thinking about Europe after a draw with Sheffield United kept his threadbare side in with a chance of a top-seven finish. Despite all the troubles that the Lancashire side has gone through on and off the pitch there is still an outside chance that the clarets may be playing in the Europa League next season. But Dyche said a second European qualification in three years was not his concern at this point.
Sean Dyche said “It’s interesting, people keep putting that on us, That was never the aim of the season, the aim of the season was first to stay in the Premier League and second to get as high up the table as possible, and that second part is still the aim. We’re on our second-highest ever points total at this stage so I’m not going to be overly critical of the players, they’re working to their maximum and we’ve got very few bodies. The real message from me was to be competitive in the remaining games and see where it takes us.”
