Sean Dyche has spoken with staff within Everton’s academy amid efforts to create a thread of values that runs through the club following his appointment.
The Blues boss’ workload is currently dominated by engineering a route to survival with his side hovering just above the relegation zone with seven games to go. And he believes the nature of the Finch Farm setup is such that he would not seek to oversee it from the top in the future.
But Dyche has held a meeting with key figures and explained the principles he is trying to instil in the first team so those in charge of the age groups have a template to work to. And, while his exposure to the work of the academy has been limited to date, he has been impressed.
