I think there may be a few upsets and unexpected results before the end of the season, still some way to go.

But the thing is, without saves from Maty Ryan and Cross Bar, we may well have ended up with one point instead of six from Everton and Swansea

Swings and roundabouts.

They reckon the premier league is split three ways: usual lot at the top, average sides in the middle and the dog fight at the bottom. To be second in the middle tier at this stage is just amazing. We have a difficult period coming up. If we are in the top half in the new year, with how the top league is now in world football, it will be the greatest achievement our club would have ever had.

Matt Ryan and the crossbar aren't going anywhere though.

I hope we stay under the radar until we have 42 points and the with about 6/8 games still to play we bring in the youngsters.

No, it's all a dream and you'll wake up soon to find out that Hereford Utd won the Premier League last season and that BHAFC are mid-table in the Isthmian League.

........ but that is what Goalkeepers are for.
Anyway, he's not tall enough.
But the squad is temporary. In time that will be improved.
So? He's gone as far as he can with them.
Which means he needs to take something like the Everton job as a stepping stone.
Each place in the PL is worth an extra £1.2m. With that in mind I doubt the club will consider many games as dead rubbers!

Despite all the international imports playing in the best league in the world, there are three strikers at the team in 7th place that seem strangely familiar. Must have been in a dream that I had way back, of us gracing the Premier League, when we played under a glass ceiling. That full back also looks a bit familiar, although could just be the name (my Lord), although I do understand that he owns a Pritchard Sat-Nav!

Dyche does not need a "lever" to ask for a pay rise - the Burnley board would probably match any wage Everton are willing to offer (it is thought Koeman was on £6 million a year - Dyche is currently on £2.5 million). Dyche has had 3 pay rises in the last 12 months and is AGAIN on course to pick up another big "staying up" bonus at the end of the season.
If Dyche leaves, I don't think money will be the priority but AMBITION to manage a "bigger, more glamorous" club.

Several clubs did last season - Watford, West Brom and Burnley among them. In PL terms, £1.2 million is peanuts and mid-table teams are "on the beach" once safety is assured.
Leicester stayed up in 2014/15 - largely due to them playing teams with "not much to play for" in their last 7/8 games.

Everton are a massive football club, much bigger, with all due respect, that. Burnley.
If Dyche does has aspirations of managing England, and why wouldn't he, then a good two or three year at Everton would be a good stepping stone.

In my opinion, he would be a fool to leave Burnley. It seems to be a well run club with good owners that trust him and fans that love what he has done. The same reason why we think the same applies to CH. I think he will stay with you, but who knows.

Remember it is still a career move though and like players, mangers and coaches may also want to go to 'bigger' clubs.
Quite. This is the biggest job Dyche will ever be offered, he’d be mad not to go.
