Sean Dyche insists any talks about his Burnley future must be put on hold until the club's Premier League future is secured for another season.
With seven games remaining, the Clarets are seven points clear of the drop zone, but their situation would have been considerably clearer if not for losing their last two games from winning positions against Southampton and Newcastle.
Dyche has only more year left on his contract after this, but before he can thrash out that and a long-term vision with the club's new American Chairman Alan Pace, there is work to be done.
