Bryan King has strongly criticized Burnley chairman and owner Alan Pace following the recent match against Everton at Turf Moor.
The Mirror reported on December 16 that there was no mention of Sean Dyche in the program notes by someone named Pace before the scheduled meeting.
The match on Saturday, December 16, in which Everton emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, marked Sean Dyche’s initial return to his former club since he was dismissed by someone named Pace in April 2022.
King continued, expressing admiration for Dyche’s tenure at Burnley, stating, “Dyche did a good job at Burnley, and would deserve the praise from any board member of the way he served that football club.” He criticized the decision not to include Dyche in the program notes, urging a more mature approach with the comment, “So to not put him in the programme notes, come on, grow up.”
Despite the absence of program notes, Sean Dyche received a warm welcome upon his return. King noted, “He was welcomed back, that’s for sure. The crowd welcomed him back when he walked out onto the pitch, he got a very good ovation all the way down to where he was positioned on the touchline.”
King pointed out that Dyche acknowledged the fans, and they reciprocated the acknowledgment. Regarding the lack of program notes, King questioned whether such actions, if intended as a slight against Dyche, were befitting a chairman, saying, “So as for no programme notes, if that’s his little dig at Dyche, should he be chairman?”
In unrelated Everton news, Darren Bent expressed surprise that “bigger clubs” have not made a move for a certain Everton player, whom he described as “brilliant.”
