This is actually a pretty good idea that the Burnley manager suggests. Players are getting tested countless times during the week at a massive cost and he reckons if you could off set this cost and put it back in to the health care if you vaccinate the Premier League players first.
Sean Dyche believes footballers should be vaccinated in order to re-distribute the vast money spent on coronavirus testing each week in the Premier League back to the NHS

Burnley are currently 16th in the Premier league, five points ahead of the bottom three. Sean Dyche has been managing Burnley since 2012 and have a very successful period with them bringing them to the top flight football in England that being the Premier League.
A few Premier League games have already been cancelled this season, despite the best efforts of the most rigorous testing and everyone knows that sport is getting a lot of people through these lockdowns. And I actually think the Burnley manager Sean Dyche makes and excellent point in use that money that would be saved from the constant testing to pump back in to health care.
