6 reasons why Burnley’s Sean Dyche gets overlooked for football’s top jobs

3. Fan backlash

Gary Neville put it best when describing the modern day game – “football is all about immediacy”.

Fans want instant success and if Dyche was to be handed a job at the top of the game, the clock, and sections of the supporters, would be against him from the start.

The expectation that comes with being at the helm of big club is almost suffocating, fans air their views on social media, dedicated TV channels, football phone-ins, it is 24/7.

They want titles, cups, great football and to hit the ground running, if you were a chairman of a top Premier League club, it would be a brave call to take a chance on a relative rookie at that level.
