Mee hails Dyche achievements at Burnley

Burnley defender Ben Mee says Sean Dyche’s achievements should not be overlooked as he celebrates seven years in charge. Dyche took over in October 2012 with the club languishing in the bottom half of the Championship table and has overseen their impressive rise from relegation candidates to solid Premier League outfit.
Burnley first got promoted to the top flight in his second season in charge when they finished second in the Championship behind Leicester.
They were unable to survive in their first year back in the Premier League since 2010 but they kept the faith with Dyche and in 2016, he guided them to their second promotion in three years.
Since then, Burnley have been arguably the model club for stability and have rarely threatened to go back down to the Championship.
In the 2017-18 season, they defied the odds to finish seventh and qualify for the Europa League, though were unable to advance to the group stages following a two-legged loss to Olympiakos in the play-off round.
Despite that, the Clarets are still rolling on strongly in the top flight and currently sit 13^th in the Premier League table after their 4-2 loss to Chelsea at the weekend.
Mee, who has been at the club longer than Dyche having joined under Eddie Howe in the summer of 2011, says the Clarets’ progress under the former Watford boss has been remarkable.
When asked to describe his manager in a word, Mee said: “One word? I think I’d find it hard to describe him in one word! I think the club has changed so much in the seven years he’s been here. “You can see the difference when you come to the training ground and when you come to the stadium. The quality in the group has improved through the years, it’s been exciting times since he’s come here.”
Dyche is now the third longest-serving manager in the top four divisions and second in the Premier League, ironically behind former Clarets boss Howe.
The longest-serving manager is Gareth Ainsworth of League One Wycombe, who has been in his job since September 2012.
