Sean Dyche has broken his silence on being sacked by Burnley, saying that he was surprised by the timing of the decision but admitting that he had not won enough games.
The 50-year-old was shown the door at Turf Moor on April 15 after nine and a half years in charge and Burnley have gone on to take 10 points from their past five games under caretaker Mike Jackson with dark clouds looming overhead amid concerns around their financial status.
The Lancashire side are now above the drop zone on goal difference but with a game in hand on Leeds United, who were outclassed by Chelsea on Wednesday night, and Dyche said it would be a "big achievement" if the Clarets remain in the top tier.
