Burnley have listed their whole squad as the club struggles to come to terms with the loss of ITV Digital money.

Burnley have been close to promtion for the last two season's and last season missed out on a play-off place to Norwich by a single goal.

However finances have been hit hard and the club must now try to balance the books.

Players like Glen Little and Ian Moore will have little problem finding potential buyers but with finances low at all clubs, chairman will be weary of big money buys.

Speaking to the clubs website, boss Stan Ternent was well aware of the troubles. "I think I'll have to sell to balance the books and keep us on an even keel.

"All the players at the club are for sale at the moment- but that doesn't mean we are going to give them away.

"Selling players isn't easy now, though, because there is a restricted market and even giving them away is not easy because clubs are finding it difficult to pay their wages."
