Lunch with McNally. Some interning points.

He was brilliant and answered everything.

Three key priorities at the football club;
One. Money
Two. Money
Three. Money

Club are prepared to take the longer term view on making the ground 35,000 capacity and If we stay up expect news at the end of the season

Record-breaking penalties for anybody coming after Alex Neill

Ricky Lambert not under consideration

Hardest time at football club was being told by the bank that they would not allow any more money to be spent.

Have been in top league possible in all but one of his years at club

Unexpectedly hard to sell some players this summer, this effects transfer budget

Colney facilities in the park and the three-year plan in place to give state-of-the-art top national facility. This is key in attracting top players

Scholars will now have all their schooling by Norwich city

Is not involved in potential screening of games online but acknowledges the club are behind others. Bit of a debacle with mustard. Will look to screen friendlies from now on. Maccabi Haifa game had as many under cover policemen as supporters so more important things to think about.

Not involved in kit design but whilst appreciating of aviiva a brilliant sponsor the clubs department maybe went too far in accommodating them. That said, the kit sales have been brilliant. Football people have to be thick skinned.

The players all love the third kit, genuinely

No club would benefit from more than seven transfers per summer. Expect a young goalkeeper this weekend, two more signings hoped for and to follow in due course

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to ask him any questions, such as 'front or back? '
