Stan Collymore has criticised Burnley's decision to sack former Nottingham Forest players Sean Dyche, Steve Stone and Ian Woan after losing to relegation rivals Norwich City last weekend.
Dyche had been in charge of the Clarets for nine and a half years before the shock news dropped on Good Friday, with assistant manager Woan and first-team coach Stone following suit. The club confirmed that U23s coach Mike Jackson will take charge of the first team while the search for a new manager takes place.
Dyche was a youth player at Forest whilst Brian Clough was manager at the club, but failed to make an appearance for the senior team due to a severe leg injury holding him back. Woan and Stone became fan favourites at the East Midlands club after making over 400 appearances combined throughout 1989 to 2000.
