Cliftonville chairman Gerard Lawlor insists he did nothing wrong demanding more from Swansea City for striker Rory Donnelly.

The Swans were first to make their move with a bid worth around £100,000, which was accepted by Cliftonville.

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers, who has personally scouted the striker and had him shown round the club's training ground, spoke of his frustration after formal interest from Everton apparently upped the asking price, but Lawlor believes he is simply doing his job.

Lawlor said: "Everton's bid is considerably higher than Swansea's. There is a major difference in the bids. They are miles apart.

"My job is to do the best thing for Cliftonville."
