McNally allays Norwich fears over Holt transfer demand

Norwich City chief David McNally insists there's no panic after rejecting Grant Holt's transfer request.

McNally took to Twitter on Saturday in a bid to calm supporters about the club's future.

"We did receive a transfer request from Grant Holt yesterday. It was rejected immediately," McNally said.

"At our club, we deal with the out-of-contract players first of all when each season ends.

"We then deal with players where the club may have an option to extend their contracts. This season, there are several in this category.

"We are almost at the end of this part of our end-of-season process but we still have some work to do.

"We will then gladly meet with other players and their representatives, including those that may have time left on their contracts.

"We haven't had any discussions yet with any player/agent who has time left on their contract. This is entirely normal at this stage.

"Players with time left on their contracts will only leave NCFC if we are happy for them to do so.

"There has been no offer made to any in-contract player, at this stage. We have not had an argument or row with any player, including Grant. The club is very grateful to all of the players for another great year.

"We are very relaxed with managing the end-of-season activities."
