Who is Sean?

It was not like that. The song "There's only one Sean" was written by the fans at the side of Nick Pope's goal as the seconds ticks down to the victory.

This was followed by applause and then a shout out from the man.

While there was a sense of dread around the old stadium as fans came to see the first match at their own ground in nearly a decade without recently sacked manager Dyche, they were suddenly thinking of the future as they streamed out.

The home players acknowledged the supporters who had stayed on to cheer a performance of determination, invention and cussedness after celebrating the deserved 2-0 victory over Saints.

It is a win that will give the fans of both teams hope of survival and will leave the fans of both teams worried, not to mention bringing a few worried looks from the other teams. The fight for survival has got new life.

This was not a show of defiance. From the first whistle, the team tore into the team. They should have been in front before Connor Roberts opened the account.

After the break, the chances went down, but the hunger remained. A tackle by Charlie Taylor on Che Adams just as the Saints forward was about to shoot from six yards in a central position was worthy of a goal.

The post- match mood at Turf Moor was a lot more positive than it had been before, as the fans struggled to comprehend the thought behind Dyche's departure.

Kurt Whitton says he was a big fan ofBurnley owner and chairman Alan Pace until the events of the last few weeks, but now he is not so keen.

He said that he was 12 when Sean Dyche became manager.

It wasn't the right time to do it. It doesn't seem like there was a plan.

The supporters mentioned the lack of a plan before the game.

Jackson wasn't given the courtesy of his name on the team sheet. Dyche used to have a column in the programme.

Chairman Pace used it to expand on the statement that confirmed Dyche's exit a week ago.

It has been a difficult season on the pitch and results and performance have been disappointing.

The decision to part ways was not one that was taken lightly at all, with four league wins this season, and we felt that a change was necessary to offer us the best chance of survival.

Normally one of the more open club owners, these have been the only words on Dyche's exit.

Jackson is waiting to be told if he will be in charge or not before the home game against Wolves on Sunday, which has helped fuel a number of rumors about the reasons for and timing of Dyche.

One of those centers around the players and what they thought about the short-term direction of the club is no surprise. The sense of purpose shown by the players will only fuel the speculation.

Since the takeover was completed in December 2020, there have been rumors about the financial structure of the deal.

Evidently, the owners of the club will be hit with a large financial hit despite the parachute payments. It is reasonable to assume that the business associates of Pace didn't get involved in the league in order to lose money.

The decision to dismiss Dyche can only be measured at the end of the season.

Bodo/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen has attracted attention with his side's run to the Europa League quarter-finals, which included two victories against Jose Mourinho.

Jackson should remain in situ for Sunday even though he claims the role is not something he is excited about.

He denied that he was enjoying the experience. You stand on the touchline and can not enjoy it.

I don't think it's good for your body to be honest.
