Sean Dyche’s ‘wheel of fortune’ saw Burnley players give each other lap dances
Players sitting in rivers and giving lap dances is not the first thing that comes to mind when imagining a Premier League environment.
However, this was a recurring image over the course of Sean Dyche’s ten-year reign at Burnley. The former Clarets manager was surprisingly relieved from his duties at Turf Moor in April, when Burnley still appeared to have a fighting chance of staying in the Premier League.
Dyche departed Burnley with an excellent reputation for getting the best out of the players and resources at his disposal. And one of his go to resources was the ‘fine wheel’ (or as former Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton called it, ‘the Wheel of Fortune’) he used to simultaneously ensure professionalism and team spirit was high.

“Kit lying around, kit on the training ground, you know just little things,” Dyche said to LadBibleTV when asked what misdemeanours warranted the use of the ‘fine wheel’. “Shoddy time keeping, not the big stuff, that would come to me. We brought in a fine wheel and on the fine wheel, some would be money, some would be payback of money.
“Some things would be ‘you get a fine’ or one of them would be ‘spin again for someone’s car to be valeted’ so you spin again. One that was a good one, [was] they have to buy dinner for you, you and a mate, or you and your partner, wife, family, whichever.
“Of course, someone tops it don’t they, someone hits big with a bottle of Champagne and all that. You know well they are screwing you because the bill would be around £400.” While all of the above wouldn't trouble the wallets of most Premier League footballers, Dyche also inserted some more creative and cringeworthy punishments.

“We had sit in the river. There was a river by the training ground and we’d have to sit in the river.
“A lap dance. Hilarious. If you got a lap dance you would have to spin again, so when you do the lap dance you get the number of the person you are lap dancing.
“It was genius. You cringe like hideous, but it was genius.”
