Dean Shiels says the financial investment in the Irish League means it is "getting harder" to keep clubs like Dungannon Swifts in the top-flight.
The Swifts edged out Annagh United over two legs to maintain their Premiership status but Shiels knows it is going to be a challenge to avoid being in a similar predicament next season.
He may only be in the job two years but the former Northern Ireland international says things have "changed dramatically" in terms of finances during that time.
