5 reasons behind Burnley's success this season

#4 Loyalty and Belief

Happy times have arrived for Burnley fans

Unlike many Premier League clubs, who seem to change managers as often as socks, Burnley has stayed loyal to Dyche. Even after the club was relegated from the league in 2014/15.

Chairman Mike Garlick had every reason to say that this is the end of the road at the club for the man that arrived in 2012 after a brief spell at Watford. Instead, Dyche was given another chance and he delivered promotion straight away.

There seems to be no panic button located anywhere at the Turf Moor and the manager is free to continue his work without added pressure even when times aren't sunny. Last season, Dyche even survived a run of five defeats in six matches that happened in November-December.

There was also no talks of him getting the sack when the team won only two matches from the start of February until the end of April.

Dyche has also remained loyal to the club. There were talks about him leaving for Leicester or Everton when both sides recently got rid of their managers, but no deal was made. Both are currently below Burnley in the league table, but they are bigger sides with more potential.

These are undoubtedly attractive positions for Dyche, but he's still the Burnley manager. Even though he's probably taken them as far as he - or anyone, as a matter of fact, can.
