Dyche said it was a reflection of the club being run properly and striking a good balance both on and off the pitch, saying: “I think it’s a sign of trying to find the correct balance both on and off the pitch.
“It’s an ongoing thing that’s very difficult. The demand of fans and me as manager in a different kind of way is, “?why aren’t you doing this or that?’. That’s just the nature of the game. The realities from that are we can’t do everything.
“It’s a club that has to be run properly. It’s not one with benefactors who can say, “?it doesn’t matter because here’s £100million’. A balance has to be found and it’s not just year one either, it’s year two, three and four, it has to be an ongoing manageable business, and unless that changes I totally respect that and I work within it.
“It is hard at times as a manager. You want to buy the best players you can and you want to increase your chances of being successful, but there has to be a balance to that and I get it.
“I’ve always said if it was a different club with a different ownership who said, “?don’t worry about the club because we’re going to back the club for the next 20 years and put millions in’, I’d spend it. But it’s not the case, so I manage what’s given to me. That’s just the way I thought it always should be done.”?
