Burnley players want a decent result against Wolves on Sunday so that interim Mike Jackson keeps the job until the end of the season.
The Clarets have benefited from a no-manager bounce — after under-23s coach Jackson stepped in following Sean Dyche’s shock dismissal — and clinched four points out of six against West Ham and Southampton
They will climb out of the relegation zone with a win or draw at Turf Moor (Everton play later in the day) and chairman Alan Pace may reflect that his search for a new boss won’t be necessary until the summer, with club captain Ben Mee assisting Jackson.
