Fletcher reveals love of Clarets
Steven Fletcher is in no hurry to leave Burnley even though the club are returning to the second tier after one season in the Premier League.[LNB] However the Scotland striker, who arrived from Hibernian in the summer, accepts the matter might be out of his hands.[LNB]Bolton manager Owen Coyle, who brought Fletcher to Turf Moor, has been linked with a move for the 23-year-old in the summer.[LNB]Speaking ahead of the match against Birmingham tomorrow, Fletcher said: "If the club want to sell me, they want to sell me. But I am happy to stay on. I have three years left on my contract.[LNB]"We have always been a close team. I noticed that as soon as I arrived. We can only get stronger as we go on.[LNB]"Everyone is a bit downhearted as we wanted to stay in the league.[LNB]"We just have to build for next season and hopefully come straight back up.[LNB]"If we can get a few players in and correct our mistakes we have a good chance of doing that."[LNB]Fletcher has made an impact in his debut season in England's top flight and weighed in with 12 goals, eight in the league and four in the cups.[LNB]He wants to finish the season in style - they play Tottenham on the final day -and give the supporters something to shout about.[LNB]Fletcher said: "I am happy with my goal ratio but would have been happier if they had kept us up. The standard is very high.[LNB]"I would like to finish in double figures in the league. It was great to play at this level and hopefully I can get there again.[LNB]"We want to end the season with two good games for our fans. That's the aim and we will see what we can do."[LNB]Midfielder Chris McCann could make a surprise return to the squad after a season blighted by knee injuries.[LNB]It was feared McCann might miss the remainder of the campaign but he returned last night and had a 45-minute run-out for the reserves.[LNB]Manager Brian Laws wants Burnley to follow West Brom's example and make an immediate return to the top flight.[LNB]He said: "They have been in the Premier League, tasted it and bounced back. That has got to be our objective next season.[LNB]"West Brom are very similar to us. They didn't spend a great deal. What they did do was to keep the unity.[LNB]"Everyone recognised it was going to be a huge task to stay in the division. But we did not do as well as we should have done against the teams around us. That has been the disappointment.[LNB]"I could not have asked for any more from the players. They have given their all. Nobody can question that. We have a squad that is going to be strong in the Championship."[LNB]
