Sean Dyche Burnley
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche believes there could be “a little bit more money” made available for transfers in the future under new owners ALK Capital. Despite the investment, the winter transfer window proved to be a quiet one for Burnley as there were no new arrivals at Turf Moor. Dyche does not suddenly expect to have hundreds of millions of pounds available to strengthen his squad and he believes that, aside from winning games, recruitment is the biggest challenge in the Premier League.
Sean Dyche said: “I think the hardest thing over the longer period is the recruitment it’s very difficult in the Premier League. And in all leagues to be fair, but in the Premier League it’s very difficult. One of our major challenges is to keep developing the group we have but then recruiting into that group to enhance it and I think the longevity of being in the Premier League and continuing often revolves around the right recruitment and it’s easier for certain clubs that have got enough money where they’ve got it in regardless. This club hasn’t been like that and I don’t think it’s going to be like that going forwards. We don’t know yet but possibly there might be a little bit more money around, we don’t know until the next window, but I don’t think they’re going to put hundreds of millions in like some clubs do. I think it’s going to be an ongoing process of developing the group but also adding it where we can and that really is one of the hardest challenges other than the obvious which is to win games and stay in the Premier League by doing so.”
Burnley will be without captain Ben Mee for tonight’s clash with Fulham at Turf Moor due to concussion protocols.
