JOE’S FAB DECISION

- By MIKE WHALLEY

SEAN DYCHE knows he faces the sack at Burnley if he does not drag them out of relegation trouble.

The Clarets manager believes his achievemen­ts over the past six years will do nothing to save him.

Dyche took Burnley into Europe for the first time in 51 years after leading them to an incredible seventhpla­ce finish in the Premier League last season.

But a miserable run of nine defeats in 11 league matches has left Burnley in the relegation zone – with in-form West Ham at Turf Moor tomorrow.

The club gave Dyche a four-year contract only last January, but he said: “Don’t for one minute think I believe that I’m set in stone here. I’m not.

“I’ve said it for years here that eventually they will want change, for good or bad reasons.

“Either I go somewhere else for the reason that we’ve been very successful, or we haven’t, and my position changes.

“It’s not something that concerns me. I know the work we put in here.”

Dyche was sacked by Watford in July 2012 before arriving at Turf Moor in October and taking them from the Championsh­ip’s lower reaches to Europe.

He added: “If we don’t address the results business we’re in, people will want change.

“I’ve been through that before at my previous club. There’s certainly no worry about it – I just get on with my business.”
