Sean Dyche tight-lipped on Burnley future after Newcastle victory
Monday 30 October 2017 22:52, UK
Sean Dyche refused to be drawn on his Burnley future after celebrating five years in charge with a 1-0 win over Newcastle on Monday.
Burnley boss Dyche has been linked with the Everton job after Ronald Koeman was sacked last week.
But he was not giving anything away after the Clarets moved up to seventh in the Premier League with victory over Newcastle.
"I just keep getting on with my job, simple as that," Dyche told Sky Sports when asked what he would do if a call came in from Everton.
"We just keep getting on with it. That's my focus and my team's focus. We have to do planning of course, but generally we take each game as it comes, we work on that, then we process the information, debrief it and we move forward again and keep that clarity of thought. That's how we keep going."

Jeff Hendrick scored the only goal of a tight game to give Burnley the three points against Newcastle.
They are now level on 16 points with Liverpool in the Premier League table, and Dyche said: "It's been a very strong start. I have been ever so pleased, the lads have been fantastic, they listen, want to learn, give everything, and there is a willingness and demand, but there's also talent there. A lot of good signs again tonight.
"The margins are tight and I said before the game I would be surprised if it wasn't a tight game. They have been very organised and compact under a fine manager who knows how to organise a side. They are making a good show of it this season but so are we and respect to our team when teams are coming here and they are very organised, not open and expansive.
"That's a little respect from our home form last season. We knew we would have to keep going and fight for every inch and play for every inch and I thought we did that.
"We have never made it that we are an expansive side who play 600 passes a game, I don't think that's relevant to this group, but I think we can play a bit and find weaknesses in teams over 95 minutes and we did that tonight."
