Chief executive Paul Fletcher has warned any Premier League vultures to forget about stripping Burnley of their key players should they be relegated from the top-flight.

Topscorer Steven Fletcher plus midfielder duo Wade Elliott and Chris Eagles have all been linked with exits should the ailing Clarets lose their Premier League status.

The trio have all been mentioned as possible targets for former Burnley boss Owen Coyle and new club Bolton Wanderers.

However, Fletcher has warned any potential suitors that nobody will be leaving Turf Moor on the cheap.

"It's part and parcel of Burnley as a club. People will think we are rich pickings for the wealthy teams, but we intend to keep hold of our best players whether we are in the Premier League or Championship," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"We've got four games to go and we've still a reasonable chance of staying up."
