Joey Barton has questioned Burnley's decision to sack his friend and former manager Sean Dyche.
Dyche had been in charge of the Clarets for close to 10 years but was surprisingly relieved of his duties on Friday with Burnley in the Premier League relegation zone. Bristol Rovers boss Barton had formed a close bond with Dyche when he played under him at Turf Moor.
The pair won promotion to the Premier League together in 2015/16 and Barton said he was "gutted" to see his former manager lose his job. The Rovers boss said Dyche will be a tough to replace at Turf Moor.
