Another thing Burnley are doing right is simply keeping hold of Dyche, but for how long? Don't think they can do a Blackburn or a Leicester though.
Off Topic Burnley

Must be why there is a Spanish manager leading a foreign legion on a romp to the PL title.
Looking at the resources available to him compared to other clubs Dyche is doing an amazing job
It's hard to understand any criticism of the playing style either unless you want more attractive losing football
rather than winning games

I think not.
They have a mono cultural dressing room. The manager is on the same page as all the players who are NW European. No linguistic cliques or hard to motivate cultures. They have selected their larkers carefully and when Boyd is ready to be shipped out they replace him with Walters. Like for like. That Belgian Dufour was a departure from the norm, scored a great goal v us, but the manager seems to prefer athletes.
Tried and tested formula.
When Dyche exits, watch the Clarets plummet.

Ah. I didn't realise that before I wrote the former, thanks.
I thought Billy McNeil or Mel Machin was still in charge.
Agreed.
Without further analysis (as can't be arsed), bar the clubs who have relative fortunes to spend, in this divsision are we seeing similar at Cardiff, Bristol C, Sheff U etc
Man Utd, Man City & Chelsea buy it every year, Blackburn & Leicester were refreshing changes.
Absolutely. But I meant it in relation to Leicester rather than the usuals.
Warnock has shown admirable self-analysis in knowing he is a top table Championship manager but no good in the PL.
Bravo sir, bravo.
There's no logic between the size of the place and the size of the crowds, its pointless trying to make sense of it.
I was chatting to some Burnley fans at a City of Culture gig over the summer. They reckoned we were nailed on for promotion, and they'd be relegated by Christmas...Doooahhhh
It suggests the populations of some places are more football orientated than others.
Yes, the reason for city's poor crowds in comparison is the plethora of things to do. Presumably free as no one has any money.
Aye like Brighton and Burnley are more football orientated than Manchester and London.
So we had 27 points after 17 games and they’ve got 31? Not that different then.
