Rochdale manager Keith Hill admits he faces losing his best players during this month's transfer window due to the club's "financial plight".Dale have enjoyed a rich run of form recently but Saturday's home defeat against struggling Lincoln put a dent in their play-off hopes.

And Hill says the cash-strapped League Two outfit could be forced into accepting bids for their promising youngsters during January.

"What we have got to realise, collectively, is that if any serious bids come in for our players we are going to have to accept them," said Hill.

"That is a given because of our financial plight. It frustrates me a little but the chairman and the board are doing everything they can because it is important that we try to keep our team together."
