Sean Dyche: My Forest beginning | Burnley’s rise & spirit | Dealing with Everton

This week on The Managers, Mick McCarthy and Tony Pulis are joined by none other than Sean Dyche. Brought to you by BOYLE Sports. Sean reflects on his early playing days at Nottingham Forest and the key figures who shaped his journey from player to manager. He shares stories of getting support from fellow managers - Mick included - during tricky transfer windows, and how he dealt with getting sacked by Watford. The conversation dives into his remarkable tenure at Burnley, his views on how the game has evolved in the modern era, and his time at Everton - both on the pitch and dealing with the club’s off-field turbulence. 00:00: Intro 01:09: Working under Clough as a player 04:08: Chesterfield FA Cup semi-final memories 06:46: Sean’s Burnley team talk for Manchester City 10:20: Early thoughts of management & biggest influence 14:50: Mick helping Sean in the transfer market 21:26: Getting sacked by Watford and have fun with the press 28:27: Taking over at Burnley and winning promotion to the Premier League 34:33: Experiencing the Premier League for the first time 41:48: Bouncing back from relegation, losing Steven Defour to injury and modern football 49:29: Pre-match meal and feigning injury 53:00: Was Sean aware of Everton’s problems? 59:15: How nervous is a final day survival game? 01:01:14: Weekend Predictions Twitter: themanagerspod Instagram: themanagerspodcast TikTok: themanagerspodcast For sales and advertising enquiries you can email: [email protected] #football #epl #nffc #forest #dyche #clough #efc #burnleyfc #premierleague #managers #mccarthy #pulis
