Top tier survival strategy

#2 Hire the right man for the job

Sean Dyche has been with Burnley since 2012

Burnley was relegated in the 2014-15 season of the Premier League but they were promoted again a season later and now they are seeking to become one of the stable mid-table clubs of the Premier League.

The most fascinating thing about the club is they haven’t changed their manager forthe last 5 years. Nowadays, when the clubs are not performing, it takes only four games as a manager to get sacked (taking the most recent example of Frank De Boer).

Then how did Burnley stick to Sean Dyche through the thick and thin of the club? The Clarets management staff knows that a new manager cannot guarantee Premier League survival, but Sean Dyche is undoubtedly the best manager of the Championship.

Even if they get relegated, they know Dyche will be the best person who can make them come up again. In an interview, Dyche praised the Burnley management staff, saying he has been given full freedom to do anything, but with the limited budget allotted to him.

He not only helped Burnley survive in his second season as a Premier League manager but also converted Burnley to what it is today. It is prescribed for any team, to stick with their manager, but, if in dire need for a change, they should go for some names which are can guarantee survival like Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce, rather than some fancy names.
