Promotion made the town of Burnley the smallest to host a Premier League club. The team started the season well and became the first newly promoted side in the competition to win their first four home games. However, Coyle left the club in January 2010 to manage local rivals Bolton Wanderers. He was replaced by Brian Laws, but the team's form plummeted and they were relegated after a single season. Laws was dismissed in December 2010 and replaced by Eddie Howe, who was succeeded by Sean Dyche in October 2012.
