Burnley Manager Defends Lack Of Spending

Manager Sean Dyche said it would be
“inappropriate” for Burnley to spend tens of
millions of pounds on players.
.
Burnley’s only transfer window business was a
permanent deal for Manchester United defender
Michael Keane as they missed out on their midfield
targets.
.
And Dyche admitted the Clarets, who are 17th in the
Premier League table, had found the market tough.
He said: “We haven’t got the backers some of the
teams have got – even in the Championship.”
.
Burnley did achieve their stated aim of hanging onto
striker Danny Ings, despite firm interest from
Liverpool.
.
The club came in for some criticism for their lack of
new signings following the publication of an email
they sent to agents enquiring about the availability of
players.
.
But Dyche, who led Burnley to promotion from the
Championship last season, defended Burnley’s
stance.
.
He added: “It’s a tough market out there, a really
tough market, and even going into the window and
going into the summer I made it quite obvious that
this is not a million or two market, this is tens of
millions to really, really affect it heavily.
