The Merseyside club appealed against the sanction, which is the largest in the history of the Premier League, and Dyche said on Thursday that the slow progress of the judiciary processes was confusing for several teams in the division.
“We haven’t got a clue, or I certainly haven’t at the moment,” Dyche told a news conference. “The guidelines [for a decision] have been around the end of the month so we’ll just have to wait and see.
“I don’t know the legalities of appeals but it’s in everyone’s interests [for a quick resolution]. Firstly our own. But for the greater good of football, everyone is scratching their heads and wondering.
