Lonergan backing for PNE chairman

Shaw came in for criticism from sections of the Deepdale support after selling St Ledger to Middlesbrough this week."It is always a shame to lose your best players, but then again I think it was a fantastic price for him," Lonergan told the Lancashire Evening Post. "Credit to the chairman there - £4.5million for a centre-half is a lot of money."He takes a lot of stick and I want to back him up. I feel some of the criticism he gets is pretty unwarranted."Derek Shaw is running a good club. Obviously I would like him to buy more players and give us more money for wages, just like everyone does."But we have to be realistic and sensible. We invest when we need to invest and don't live beyond our means, which a lot of clubs do and get into trouble for."
