Jackson also said he had not been given any indication of who would be in charge after Sunday’s trip to London Stadium, adding that he hoped everyone at the club would adopt a siege mentality as Burnley struggled to stay in the Premier League. “I came in in the morning to prepare for U23 and the president called me to his office and they told me about it. I was told it was happening,” Jackson said. “It was a shock to the players, that’s human nature. “It’s an experienced group, they have come together and now for us it is to get the whole club together, all the fans, and just get into the bunker and focus on what we need to do.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Jody Morris and Jonathan Morgan react to Dyche’s dismissal Jackson praised Dates for his contribution to Burnley’s success and said there would be no major team changes for Sunday’s game at West Ham. “He [Dyche] “He has built the club, but he has built a culture, an identity, and that is really hard to do in football sometimes,” said Jackson. “The work he has done, you can only listen to some of the interviews with other coaches and his colleagues, to find out what they think about him. It is sad, but we have to remember them for what they have done for this club. I am sure fans will remember it too. “When I look at it, you have to look back just a few games before, when they had a series of three games – the Spurs, Brighton and Palace – when the group made a series.

Analysis: Dates leaves as a Burnley legend
Sky Sports Nick Wright: When Sean Dyche was appointed to Turf Moor in October 2012, he inherited a team that was 14th in the Championship table having conceded the most goals in the division. Over the next decade, he would oversee a complete transformation of the club, winning promotion to the Premier League in 2014 and again in 2016 after a brief return to the second division. Ditch was Burnley’s third coaching appointment in two years after Brian Lowe and Eddie Howe, but all that turmoil soon became a distant memory as the club became a symbol of stability. At the end of the 2019/20 season, after Burnley finished in 10th place and Howe was relegated to Bournemouth, Dietz became even the longest-serving coach in the Premier League. The culmination of his tenure at Burnley remains his excellent position in seventh place in 2017/18, but it is what he has done for the club as a whole, establishing his presence in the first division with a budget much smaller than his rivals and shaping a unique identity on and off the field, which the fans will love more. The team’s struggles this season have prompted the club to take action, but it is a testament to Dyche’s excellent work that even now, with the risk of relegation appearing high, his dismissal is a big shock. It is a bet that their owners may regret.

What they have done is remarkable. Sean Dyche and his coaching staff and everyone at the club have done an incredible, top job. “I think Sean Dyche deserves a lot of credit and they should make him a statue outside of Turf Moor because what he did is incredible – every season, going to the Premier League on a budget probably in the third or last quarter and then being able to to compete and not just survive, but to get at least a few places in the top ten is a fantastic, worthwhile job. “Looking from the outside, I think they would be more likely to keep him alive because he knows everything. But of course, I do not know everything.” West Ham manager David Moyes: “I’m shocked and a little surprised too. I think Sean did a very good job establishing Burnley in the Premier League for many years. Lately Burnley have been a very difficult team to play against. and most of them were made by Sean. “ Arsenal manager Michel Arteta: “I have only words of praise because what he has done for the club over the last 10 years is amazing. He gave the club a really clear identity, he managed to keep the team, with one of the smallest budgets. I wish him good luck and as always with colleagues, it is sad when you see these decisions “. Brighton coach Graham Potter: “I’m surprised. I feel like a colleague, someone I respect very much. It ‘s never nice when someone loses their job, of course, but we know it happens in football. because the work he did at Burnley was fantastic. “I think he’s a part of life. Sean is a great guy, he knows how he is. The reality is that there are more people to be saddened by by the Premier League coaches, but there is a pressure, an expectation. “Sometimes it’s fair, sometimes it’s unfair – it goes with the territory. We know that when we deal with it. We know that when the results do not go well, you are under pressure, you have control. to face it “. Watford manager Roy Hodgson: “Of all the people in the league, he would be one of those who I thought would survive such a thing, so I have no idea what happened. “Something must have happened because you are not parting with a coach like Sean Dyche after all the fantastic things he has done for this club over the last 10 years, he has built the club. “So I was surprised, shocked and frustrated because I know Sean well enough and I admire him as a coach and a coach. I did not think that would happen to him.”
