David McNally: Dear Luke, Ben and others asking about Grant - it really is important to remember how your football club operates. The Board agree the strategy, the Chief Executive runs the business and the football manager is in control of football matters. Clearly it is essential that we all work closely together and are effective in getting the big decisions right. During the last close season we were not helped by the uncertainty over the position of our football manager and this developed at a time when we were about to re-negotiate contracts for a number of players, including Grant.

Following weeks of speculation, Paul Lambert left the Club and Chris Hughton replaced him. Chris was clear from day one that Grant Holt was a big part of his NCFC plans. From here, we agreed a new contract in a matter of days, a contract that in my opinion Grant Holt fully deserves.

We do not have an age policy at the Club - talent, hunger, commitment, desire and well-being are more important to us than the age on any birth certificate.
