Norwich City chief David McNally denies claims of a feud with Aston Villa.
It was suggested Norwich refused to sell Wes Hoolahan last month because it was Paul Lambert's Villa who wanted him.
"We felt there were some things said in the media that were unnecessary, but we would have done the deal if we were happy. It is business; it is not personal," said McNally.
"If we had decided we were comfortable in selling Wes then we would have sold him to the highest bidder. We have no issues in dealing with Aston Villa. We have dealt with that with them directly and we move on now."
