Hes filling the papers, hes big news; the new kid on the Premier block so to speak. I wrote a book of his promotion season at Burnley: 'Who Says Football Doesnt Do Fairy Tales?' - had my season ticket and loved the season from start to finish. Despite being "only a supporter", I was able to meet the Burnley manager three times: I sat in on a Press Conference, listened to him on local radio broadcasts, and there was a weekend for the away game at Yeovil when we went with the Supporters Club to stay over, and by happy coincidence we were in the same hotel as the team. It had happened once before in the 2009 season when Burnley went up and we stayed in Plymouth with the team and won 2-1. Then we won promotion. I told this little tale to Sean Dyche in the hotel and said youll win 2-1 tomorrow and well win promotion. He laughed. He didnt know that Alice Nutter one of the Pendle witches was my great grandmother X10. She was hanged at Lancaster... The point being that I can predict things and I sure got it right about the promotion. Ive also got the compulsory big nose though thankfully theres no wart on the end. But the book charts the season and as the book progresses features Sean Dyche more and more. I scoured the media for articles and features and got permission to use them all as well as my own observations. The result is a fascinating study of a magical season and an impressive manager.
