On the surface, Sean Dyche is about as English as they come.
The hardman exterior; the deep, gravelly voice; the ginger beard; the fact he manages Burnley – Dyche is all England.
But he doesn’t half do a good impression of Arsene Wenger.
The Clarets boss was being interviewed on Sky Sports News after his side’s 1-0 loss at home to Swansea on the opening day, and he was busy discussing where Burnley had gone wrong in typically engaging fashion.
But then something remarkable happened. Sean Dyche – clearly becoming disinterested in his media duties – began to sound almost indistinguishable from Arsenal’s 66-year-old manager. He suddenly became much more interested in talking about the Premier League’s top four candidates than the possible relegation battle that some predict will dominate proceedings up at Turf Moor later in the season.
It was an amazing transition that didn’t go unnoticed by the Soccer Saturday guests. Jeff Stelling in particular was blown away, and even tipped Dyche for a career on the stage should he grow tired of football.
