Burnley manager Nicky Hayen has admitted that his future remains in the balance after yet another defeat in the Championship.Hayen is under huge pressure after his side fell to their sixth loss in 12 games – being thrashed 4-1 by Lincoln City on Saturday.Burnley manager Hayen has only won one game in the league since his appointment as boss over the summerGettyThe Clarets, who were only relegated from the Premier League last season, are currently sitting in the relegation zone.Their loss to newly-promoted Lincoln, in another game in which they took the lead, leaves them in 22nd spot in the second tier having won just one game all campaign.And after admitting he was in trouble last week, the Belgian boss has done so again, apologising to the Burnley fans.What has Hayen said on his future?When asked post-match if he fears being sacked, Hayen told talkSPORT: “Fear? I know how it goes in football, especially with the results we have had in the last few weeks. “I spoke with the owner last week in terms of the injuries that we had and the upcoming game, and also that we had a good training week.“But for one or another reason, we can’t bring the same quality in the game that we show on the training pitch.“That’s a little bit of a shame because the boys deserve much better and that is unfortunately the reality.”Then, on whether he hopes to continue in his role as manager, he added: “Yes, of course you hope to continue. But I know how it goes.“I also feel sorry for the fans as there were a lot of fans here, so I do apologise.“I know even if I apologise to them it doesn’t matter because again we have a big loss and I know they’re frustrated and I totally accept it.”Burnley were easily beaten by Lincoln in the Championship on Saturday to compound the misery of Hayen and his sideGettyHayen ‘going to get the brunt of it’Hayen spoke honestly about his and Burnley’s woeful start to the Championship season, but it may not save his job.Burnley legend Ben Mee thinks that the writing may be on the wall for the manager after their latest loss.Speaking on talkSPORT’s GameDay Live, Mee, who made 367 appearances for the Clarets, said: “Absolute disaster today.“Going there and capitulating as they did, going 1-0 up, the quality in the group, the attitude of the group, it seems to be a theme this season.“Lose a goal, heads go down, whether the players’ mentality is right, whether they want to be at the club…“I think there’s players in there that were trying to leave in the summer, maybe didn’t get the wish, the heads and the focus aren’t quite there.Hayen will get the brunt of the blame and could well be sacked after Burnley’s latest lossGetty“The manager’s gone in and maybe taken over a squad that’s not as together as what he would have liked.“He’s going to find out, he’s going to get the brunt of it, I think.”
