Sean Dyche surprised by Burnley's progress

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits that he has been surprised by the speed of the club's progress since his arrival at Turf Moor.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has revealed that he did not expect to have established the Clarets as a Premier League team in five years at the club.

Next week, Dyche will celebrate his fifth anniversary at Turf Moor, with two promotions to the top flight and a season of maintaining the club's status in the division being achieved since 2012.

Burnley now sit in eighth place in the standings, and Dyche has acknowledged that he has achieved more than he had initially envisaged at the North-West outfit.

The 46-year-old told reporters: "When I got here it was about a club coming back into control financially. There was a lot of trimming and reorganising to be done. You get the first promotion against all odds after a fine season and all of a sudden it's a different world.

"It was big challenge in the Premier League but to come down and go back up again is marvellous. I always thought we could plan and move it forward but not so quickly.

"Five years is a massive amount of time, it's so, so difficult. The misalignment of expectation at clubs now, such a divide between reality and where they think the reality is."

Burnley play host to Newcastle United on Monday night, looking to move to 16 points from the club's 10 matches in the Premier League.
