Burnley chief Brendan Flood cannot rule out selling star pair Chris McCann and Chris Eagles.

"Inevitably, if we were in the top half of The Premier league we'll get bids for players, and you've to be open minded and say 'we might sell someone for £5 million-plus, because that's good business'," Flood said in the Lancashire Telegraph.

"Then buy another lad who's as good as Chris McCann or Eagles for £1m from lower down. We've got to be prepared to do that.

"It will be a pure business decision if we did."
