Premier League: Burnley's Sean Dyche lauds Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock
Friday 12 September 2014 13:47, UK
Burnley's Sean Dyche has spoken of his admiration for Neil Warnock ahead of the meeting with Crystal Palace this weekend.
Warnock, who has taken over at Selhurst Park for the second time, revealed last season that he voted for Dyche to be the LMA Manager of the Year for his efforts in securing promotion to the Premier League.
"He's someone who has shown me an awful lot of respect," Dyche said. "I know him a little bit and he's always spoken well of myself as a young manager and I do thank him for that because his record speaks for itself at the varying clubs he's had.
"I thought he had chosen the time to say 'no, that's it, I'll go and enjoy the family' - but he's obviously got the bug again which happens in football. It's a great game, that's why we all love it, and he certainly loves it.
"Make no mistake, there will be no love-in when the whistle blows with Neil; he wants his team to perform and so do I."

Dyche has the chance to blood his three deadline day signings on Saturday after George Boyd, Nathaniel Chalobah and Michael Keane all arrived at Turf Moor.
"We are happy with the business we've done," added Dyche.
"It rounds the group off in a nice way. We've got demand more or less all over the pitch, there's no safety net for players wondering about their shirt and we wanted that.
"It is hard for clubs like ourselves because we can't carry vast squads, and we probably wouldn't wish to, but when the window shuts, it is shut. There's no loans or anything like that so it means you do have to have a deeper squad."
In their last outing two weeks ago, Burnley earned a point in a 0-0 draw with a Manchester United team featuring Angel di Maria for the first time.
"There is a good belief there anyway but I think results like that and performances help," Dyche said.
"I felt we handled that well and tactically delivered a good performance against a very strong group of players. I think the belief is there but we must continue to build on it."
