Sean Dyche has led Burnley to an incredible Premier League season that sees them qualify for the Europa League, but what would be glory?
Burnley are closer to the Champions League places than the relegation zone with just a couple of games to play and that is remarkable in any season, let alone one where the gap between the haves and have-nots feels gigantic.
But now a decision must be made: European football beckons, something that has not happened since 66/67, but also the sense that the team can move forward.
They will have some money to burn this summer after an impressive second Premier League campaign and will have the choice between a squad built for Europe or a stronger first-team – it depends on where they see glory.
Can Burnley compete in the Europa League? Probably, yes. They have the style to make a real game of it in Europe and make next year a memorable season, although we have seen before how it can affect a league season.
But can Burnley establish themselves so this is not a unique experience? With the league looking so unbalanced, it is difficult to say no.
This could be a watershed moment for Burnley – where do their ambitions lie?
