Sean Dyche: Sky Sports apologises for 'insensitive' comments about Everton manager's clothes

Sky Sports has apologised for "insensitive" comments made about Everton manager Sean Dyche during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday.

Commentators Bill Leslie and Andy Hinchcliffe said his clothing made him look like a "croupier" - someone who oversees gaming tables at casinos.

Dyche was wearing a black armband in memory of Michael Jones, who died working on the club's new stadium.

A Sky spokesperson apologised for any "upset or distress caused".

"Comments made during the Aston Villa v Everton game were insensitive and regrettable," they added.

"We have spoken to everyone involved in the coverage including both the commentators and have reminded them of their responsibilities and the need for care and sensitivity.
