Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Joey Barton not unsettled

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Joey Barton hasn't been unsettled by his FA charge.

Barton was due at Wembley on Wednesday for a personal hearing into his charge for alleged betting offences, but it was postponed late on due to the illness of the FA's chief investigator.

That has prolonged the 34-year-old's Turf Moor career, with fears of a lengthy ban once the hearing into the charge takes place.

"He seems, like he does, to take it as it comes and just gets on with it, there's not too much over-thinking it, that's for sure," the Clarets chief said.

"He got a late call, let me know, and we just went 'ok, see you in training', literally. No problem."
