Even Dyche says he’s not safe

SEAN DYCHE might have steered promoted Burnley to Premier League safety against the odds, but he insists even his achievements at Turf Moor will not protect his position as manager.

Dyche, dismissed by Watford in 2012, is on the shortlist for manager of the year and was the subject of a giant mural painted on an end-terrace in the grateful Lancashire town.

Should Burnley extend their magnificent home form to an 11th win of the campaign today against West Ham, they will leapfrog the visitors and could finish as high as 11th, while fellow promoted clubs Middlesbrough and Hull contemplate life in the Championship once more.

Isn’t his future ring-fenced? ‘I don’t know,’ said Dyche (right). ‘Football changes rapidly, you can go from hero to zero. Fans want change, boards want change, media want change. I don’t take my position here for granted.’
