Neither captain Bowen nor head coach Nuno Espirito Santo would have had any difficulty finding new employment after West Ham's relegation from the Premier League, but to their immense credit they've both opted to stick it out and right the wrongs of last season.

Only two players registered more assists than Bowen in the EPL last term, and all expectations are that the England international could set all kinds of records in the Championship.

Espirito Santo, meanwhile, won the division with Wolves eight years ago.

It's a potent combination.

Yo-yoing between the Premier League and Championship has filled Burnley's coffers, but for the first time in years, it appears as if there was no real vision for the campaign ahead.

The Clarets failed to win any of their six preseason fixtures.

New coach Nicky Hayen could be a shrewd appointment.

He indirectly succeeded Scott Parker after his disastrous spell at Brugge and turned their fortunes around.

However, there's been an exodus over the summer and star striker Zian Flemming is another with his eyes set on the Turf Moor exit.
