expects to spend 80 per cent of his time in Lancashire and reveals he has held his first meeting with manager
Sean Dyche
.
Asked if the Clarets’ boss was what he had expected, the 53-year-old said:
“Not exactly.
“He asked me a question that I really didn’t think he would ask. He knew of my religion and how I felt about drinking – we don’t drink – and he asked does that apply to him. No, it doesn’t.
“I loved our conversation, I think he’s a great guy. I didn’t really know what to expect. You hear him in the press conference, you hear a raspy voice, it’s a little firm.
“I found him lovely. I think he’s a great guy. I think there’s a lot of stuff that we are probably going to get on with very, very well and I hope he feels the same way.”
