• A number of football experts have criticized Burnley’s decision to sack Sean Dyche
• Dyche was sacked after keeping the Clarets in the Premier League for six successive seasons
• Burnley are 18th in the Premier League, four points from safety with eight games to go

Jamie Carragher has taken to social media to brutally criticize Burnley for the decision to sack the Premier League’s longest-serving manager Sean Dyche.

As reported by Sports Brief, Burnley parted ways with the 50-year old days after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Norwich City.

Dyche leaves the club in an intense battle to avoid Premier League relegation as the Clarets sit 18th on the log, four points from safety.

With just eight games of the season to go, the Burnley hierarchy said the decision to sack Sean Dyche was a difficult but necessary one.

This prompted a series of reactions from football fans, including Jamie Carragher, who was not impressed with Burnley’s decision.

Despite Burnley’s dismal campaign so far, Carragher branded Sean Dyche’s dismissal as a “joke”.

'What a joke,” Carragher said on Twitter

. “If you had given him a decent budget you would never have had a worry about getting relegated.”

The Liverpool legend’s co-pundit Gary Neville also seemed to echo his sentiments as they praised Dyche for keeping Burnley in the Premier League for six seasons on a limited budget.

“Well done to Sean Dyche for doing one of the great managerial jobs in PL history,' Neville wrote. 'He had a bantamweight budget and yet punched hard against the heavyweights for years.” Neville wrote.

Dyche’s record with Burnley

With the budget he was offered at the club, Sean Dyche did quite impressively in the Premier League.

He had a 28% win rate in English top-flight as he managed 258 Premier League games, winning 72 of them.

His biggest win percentage has been in the Championship, where he won 63 of the 125 games he managed (52%).
