Be careful what you wish for
Sacking Sean now is the most extraordinary decision I have ever seen in football. The pundits on Sky have roundly condemned the decision as 'ludicrous', 'ridiculous' and an April Fool's joke beyond belief. There is nobody with a better chance of keeping Burnley in the premier league with eight games remaining, and nobody better placed to get them back up from the Championship if they do go down, which now looks infinitely more likely than it did yesterday. This is a sad day in the annals of Burnley FC.
