Gary Lineker is one of many to publicly question why Burnley's owners have opted to dismiss Sean Dyche from his post as manager with just eight games of the season left.
Dyche as been at the helm at Turf Moor for just under a decade, achieving two promotions to the Premier League and two top-half top flight finishes as well as a campaign in Europe - all completed on a shoestring budget. Despite this, the recent run of poor form was clearly enough for those at the top of the Clarets' hierarchy to sack the club legend.
In the immediate aftermath of the news breaking, Lineker took to Twitter to write: " Burnley have sacked Sean Dyche with 8 games left of the season. What a brilliant job he did for so many years. Feels like a really s****y thing to do."
