Irvine keen to keep squad intact

North End were beaten in the play-off semi-finals by Sheffield United this term, and Irvine is out to add to his squad over the summer in a bid to emulate local rivals Burnley following their promotion. "I'm not looking for any phone calls about any of our players," he told the club's official website. "I want to try and strengthen our squad and not weaken it. Clearly, if we lose some of our best players to bigger clubs then that will weaken our squad and that gives us an even harder job than we've got at the moment to try and improve."
