Sean Dyche to profit if Burnley's academy products are sold due to 5% 'development clause' in his deal... meaning he'd net £2m if Dwight McNeil's £40m asking price was met!

Sean Dyche stands to make millions of pounds if Dwight McNeil or any of Burnley's other academy products are sold while he is at the club.

Sportsmail can reveal the Burnley manager has a 'development clause' in his contract entitling him to five per cent of the sale price of players who have come through the academy.

McNeil attracted interest from Tottenham last summer, but the club failed to match Burnley's £40m valuation, a sale price that would have netted Dyche £2m if the transfer had taken place.
