Dyche acknowledged that the points deduction was a result of financial breaches and not a single person's fault. He pointed out that there were many people involved in the decision-making process and that the team's chairman, Farhad Moshiri, was not the only one responsible. Dyche mentioned that he and Thelwell were trying to manage the situation by using common sense and making tough decisions, such as selling players to bring in revenue.

Dyche stated that the team's goal was to bring in money, even if it meant playing players who were not the first choice. He explained that this was done to try and win games and generate revenue. However, Dyche was not aware of the points deduction until he received the call from Thelwell.

Dyche recalled being shocked and confused when he learned about the points deduction. He had no idea how it happened without him being informed and felt that it was a serious issue. The team eventually appealed the deduction and had it reduced from 10 to six points, which helped them secure their survival in the league.
