Burnley boss Dyche skeptical over FA 'English DNA' youth development

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is wary of the FA's new youth development 'DNA' scheme.

Dyche says it is important young players are not 'wrapped up in cotton wool' too early.

"We know they're going to get enhanced coaching and better facilities at almost every level but you can't get so drunk on that that you forget about the passion, pride, belief, desire and will," Dyche said.

"People might say it's an archaic view but I think the moral fibre of footballers is as relevant now as its ever been."
