Steve Kean says he expects plenty of clubs to be interested in his star players but is ready to fight to keep them at Blackburn.
Rovers were relegated on Monday after losing to Wigan and already the vultures are circling, with the likes of Junior Hoilett, Martin Olsson and Yakubu being linked with moves away from the club.
The latest name to join those supposedly weighing up their futures at Ewood Park is goalkeeper Paul Robinson, with West Ham thought to be interested in the former England shot stopper.
While Kean's own future is uncertain he says he is ready to dig his heels in and try to keep some of the big names players who have impressed despite Blackburn's plight.
Asked if he was worried whether other clubs would come in for his star men, Kean said: ""Yes, I think they will.
"That won't be a surprise. That's a reality with any team.
"I was doing it myself. I was thinking a few weeks ago, 'Who do we think is going to go down and who have they got who could do us?' "I think that is just natural.
"Clubs will look at us and they will look at Wolves and I will be expecting there will be a lot of interest in a lot of our players.
"We are attempting to keep the majority together and build a squad that can bounce back."
