Burnley boss Sean Dyche has insisted that he has no regrets following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
The Clarets were sent back down to the Championship after just one season on the weekend, despite earning a 1-0 win over Hull City.
Having spent little in the transfer market at the start of the campaign, Dyche believes that the club's modest approach to player recruitment is not to blame for their struggles on the pitch.
"I don't have any regrets," he told Burnley's official website. "If there are any decisions go against you, you only hope they will balance out over the season.
"There was a collective decision made about the spending and a lot is made of that. It just wasn't a market that was needing an extra £2m or £3m. It is a market that has jumped up to £7m, £8m or £9m, so when you are building a squad in the Premier League, how many of those can you bring in before a club is in real trouble? That's the balance!
"We all know that half the Championship have massive debts with owners who are very wealthy and willing to run with those debts. We haven't got that. The Board are all Burnley people who care passionately about the club, but they haven't got huge bank accounts where they can write off tens of millions of pounds."
Burnley return to Premier League action on Saturday when they welcome Stoke City to Turf Moor.
