Every penny counts at Burnley and there will be have been a modicum of disquiet at the way the final day unfolded. This defeat, uncharacteristic in its design, actually cost them around £2million.
Not a great deal in the grand scheme of Premier League wealth, and finishing 10th rather than ninth still brings significant financial reward, but the difference in prize money is six months of Sean Dyche's salary.
That would have been handy as a bonus at the end of a season when the little mill town resides in the top half for the second time in three years.
