I've seen this mentioned a few times in the media. On the whole Burnley fans are pretty bemused by the suggestion that he could be anywhere near under threat. The expectation is that if he leaves it will be for a bigger club, not being sacked.
The last time we lost a manager partway through a premier league season (Coyle) we ended up with Brian Laws. No-one wants to risk that happening again.
Obviously before we had Dyche we had Howe managed and the generally held view is that Dyche is the better manager. Whether or not he'll be able to transfer his hard work and dedication ethos to a bigger club remains to be seen but he's well suited to a team that is mainly full of free transfers and cheap players (we have 3 players in the squad who cost over £1m).
A number of championship teams seemed to view us as tactically limited last year (often after we beat them) but, bearing in mind that Burnley are only Dyche's second management role and he's only managed 150 games (Howe for instance is double that), I think that's more down to him still learning rather than an inherent limitation.

quick thought, we're playing Burnley on the weekend, and although they've moved out of the relegation places with a better run of results recently, was wondering whether Sean Dyche was on the hot seat? It seems managers promoted with teams are on the short leash, as premier league survival is deemed more important than sticking with the manager that got you there, even if that means being relegated.
Was thinking about this because of that feature that the guardian did on eddie howe, where the consensus from the thinkers (I use the term advisedly) below the line commenting seemed to be he could get bournemouth into the premier league and then would be booted out midway through as they got a shoeing trying to adjust to being in the big leagues. Obviously there's no assurance that bournemouth are going to be promoted, but does that mean any young english manager should be wary of getting his team into the premier league, if all that will happen is he'll be kicked out for someone older with a history of fighting relegation..
