Burnley manager Sean Dyche has insisted that his tenure as Watford manager is "in the past".

The 41-year-old, who was sacked as Watford manager during the summer after the Hornets were taken over by new owners, says that he is firmly focused on the future rather than looking back at his time at Vicarage Road.

Dyche told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It's gone, it's the past and I'm looking towards the future. The whole feel of the place has changed radically since I was there.

"I think they're carrying 40-plus players, so most of the players I worked with are still there.

"It's just a different way of doing business. It's not for me to decide whether it's right or wrong, it's for them and their fan base to decide."
