PETER CROUCH: The psychology of the new-manager bounce is baffling but Burnley have timed sacking Sean Dyche perfectly... PLUS why I can't yet choose between Phil Foden and Mo Salah for Player of the Year

Burnley were last but eventually caught up with the rest the other week. All of the bottom five have sacked managers this season. They have to these days, because patience guarantees nothing with huge money at stake.

They are all hoping to do an Eddie Howe, because Newcastle United are the best example of something working following a change in management. I was up there on Saturday for the Liverpool game and Howe is really building momentum, you can feel it around St James’ Park.

They were the only team not to have won a single game, and found themselves five points from safety, when he was appointed in November.
