With an increased buy out clause.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... nager.html

Great news! Fingers crossed there’s no last minute hitches.

Great that he’s staying but more importantly he must have had assurances about transfer funds being available.

Fabulous. That has made my weekend. Onwards and upwards.

The anti daily mail brigade must be having a lie in this morning

Great news for the club and fans.

Get in

Absolutely massive if true, could set us up at the top table for another half decade.

The fact Dyche might sign this even including a larger buy out is a huge show of faith in the club and Alan Pace from him.

Could this be plot by Dyche to get his potential new employers (could be a couple) to speed things up and increase their £?

Sorry, I am just that way out today. Hopefully it's good news but the cynic in me.....

Critical to the growth of the club. Great news

Interesting if true.

Early days but no sign yet of key players heading for the exit.

This would be tremendous news and the best thing that could happen to the club. Surely it would also mean he has been promised a good transfer budget this summer.

Great news. Get it signed asap! The man who makes the club tick

The revealing of the increased buy out clause does make me suspicious of this.

If that was the case presumably Dyche would just say to his new club that he won't be signing another contract with Burnley.

Would an increased buy out clause act as much of a deterrent when you see how much clubs are willing to pay for mediocre players?

Excellent news, if true. Exciting times indeed !

I thought Dyche was on holiday.

I’ll be happy once it’s actually signed. I feel like we’re 1-0 up in injury time.

Great news and a really positive start to the summer.

18 posts in and still no
"I wont read that rag of a paper"

They get quite a bit right regards our club, let's hope that's the case this time

If he now starts to get backing it will feel like a "new club" to him. He will have a new challenge now to take us forward. If we can fill the right positions with the right players it will be a less anxious season.

CT has suggested this was likely a couple of times recently

Really hope this one is true and he signs the deal pronto.

Can someone talk the poster named Right Winger down from that bridge please?

Would be the signing of the summer, without doubt!

Not exactly breaking news.

It's been said by Nixon and others that the deals been agreed just not signed for a few weeks.

CT confirmed there was no delay on here as well.

Never heard of a fax machine?

Absolutely massive news, if true. Made my Sunday. We should be aiming for a decade in the perm now.

You’d assume he’s fairly confident about forthcoming investment if he’s signing a new deal. And hopefully the larger compensation fee will deter constant speculation linking him elsewhere.

Yes but he's on holiday deep inside the Amazon jungle, showing undiscovered tribes (until now) how to perform the low block.

The decade in the perm being the '80's, presumably?

I know some have already been back on The Turf, but I can’t wait for the new season when hopefully we can all be there........celebrate all those key workers who have got us through the past 18m.........and applaud Dyche as he strides purposefully across the pitch!!!

If true, this is a big step forward. But it's best to be cautious for now until any announcement is made.

Fingers crossed it happens, especially with several clubs looking for new managers. This would be our best signing of the summer if it happens, and it would show Sean Dyche’s faith in the new owners plans.

Tell him that Ben Mee has extended his contract and he might jump!

Be a major statement of intent, and by far the best signing we could make right now.

Come on Burnley, get it done. Do it.

Excellent news if this comes to fruition.

He will surely have had assurances he’s got some money to spend too which is great.

A fax machine? They used to use faxes in a pre-internet era, 20+ years ago.

It's all apps and smartphones these days, isn't it?

I hear ALK are launching AICoach, the coach/manager version of AIScout. The pro version has a "sign/extend your new contract" facility.

UTC

EDIT: I hear they've already sold beta version to Crystal Palace, Spurs, Wolves, Everton and a few clubs in Spain, France, Italy, Germany. (Sean Dyche's profile was blocked on the beta).

They also have an AIAgent app, though Alan Pace wants to launch it with all fees paid by the player and no cost to the club.

Must be true, this is back on the market…

Feels like we're waiting for VAR to confirm a last minute goal

Fantastic news if confirmed

Am I right in thinking that the buyout clause was related to the length of the contract? I seem to remember it being something like 3m a year over the course of the contract so if he signs a 3 year deal it's 9m or 4 year deal it would be 12m. Even if they changed it to be less per year it's quite likely that the buy out clause would be more after than it is now.

I'll be really pleased if this happens.

Outstanding news. This is really the litmus test of Pace’s ambition and credibility.

Don't say that, we don't often get VAR go our way

Great news, can't wait for the ink to dry though.

Have I missed something?

Was getting Sean Dyche to sign a new contract a Daily Mail Campaign along with getting Boris to pay for the refurbishment of his flat?

You've obviously missed all the posters who usually dismiss anything reported in the mail, and are normally extremely vocal about it, but haven't yet appeared this morning

The cynic in me tells me that contract extensions are more about better business for the exit, rather than loyalty.

The opening paragraph saying he’s going to sign it in 72 hours sounds more like a planted ‘come and get me’ plea.

you may want to build a basic salary increase into that - which is quite likely, Pace appears to like our gearing in regard to bonuses though

As has been alluded to on the thread, it looks like the owners have made commitments around new squad additions, changes in the structures at Gawthorpe and probably on the player support side that Dyche has been talking about in the last few months. I do wonder what this actually means to our financial position, with all the outstanding financial commitments and likely low cash position, ALK came into ownership of the club quite possibly with not spending a penny of their own money in the acquisition (as I have previously demonstrated) have committed extraordinary amounts of monies on the clubs behalf (and appear to be committing much more) to non football/revenue generating activities and are now appearing to commit to spend substantial amounts around the club, that will have implications for years to come. Revenues are substantially down on last year (probably below those of 2016/17) wages are high ( likely to be at 70% or more) and our dependency on broadcast payments have never been higher.

There is much for ALK and friends to do on revenue generation if Checketts is not to lose his third sporting franchise through lack of funds.

Not from what I’ve been told. Nothing is certain until it’s certain but I’ve been confident for some time that Sean Dyche wouldn’t be moving on. Having said that , the sooner it’s confirmed the better.

Clive Holt took the fax machine with him as a leaving present.
