Everton boss Sean Dyche insists he has no issue with Burnley chairman Alan Paçe.

Pace failed to mention former Burnley boss Dyche in his match programme notes yesterday.

But after Everton's win, Dyche stated: “I saw Alan Pace in the hotel where we were staying this morning – Crow Wood, very nice, it used to annoy me that they had a really nice hotel here for the other teams to stay in – and said hello. Football is a weird business right, I don't throw my dummy out, I've done my bit, I've done my years, I shook his hand and said, 'is everything ok? Nice to see you', crack on.

“Vincent (Kompany, his successor at Burnley), I met him at the end of last season at the LMA do, told him how impressed I was with his work and how they hadn't lost the fabric of it even though he'd put his mark on it and changed it to his liking. We can all moan about everyone and everything but at the end of the day, people have got a lot on their plate, I just try and take care of mine and get on with it."

Dyche added: “I said when I left, 'that's me'. A chapter finished for the club and a chapter finished for me. I've a huge respect – I shouldn't need to say it because I've said it so many times because I do – for the club, the people around the club, the fans. I had a fantastic time here, it's helped my life develop as well.

“If I've paid my bit back, among many others here over many years then fine, that's how it should be, hopefully. You find ways of being successful but there are so many other people involved in the nine-and-a-half years I was here, it's not just me, trust me."
