He revealed the club have contingency plans should one of his players be whisked away to the Premier League or the Championship.
McCann said: “The club policy has always been the same and I support it.
“We would never stand in the way of a player wanting to progress, as long as any deal benefits the football club.

“Of course I can’t stop people speculating, but we have our own targets should we lose anyone.
“But it’s not something me or the players can worry about and I’m confident everyone will stay focused on the job in hand, which is winning promotion back to the Championship.
“We have 22 massive matches to go. That’s what I’m concentrating on and that’s what the players will be concentrating on.
