Turf Moor: Home of Burnley(credit:

Norwich City chief executive David McNally have hit out at Burnley’s conduct in their bid to land Paul Lambert as manager.
The Clarets, who sacked Brian Laws at the end of December, requested permission from the Canaries to speak to Lambert about their managerial vacancy last week.
Their request was declined and Lambert has also confirmed his desire to remain at Carrow Road, but McNally remains upset with Burnley’s decision to announce their plans on the club’s official website.
He said: “I was alerted that Burnley, for some bizarre, very difficult to explain reason, had decided to put on their website that they had asked for permission to speak to Paul about their vacancy.
“That really was unusual, unexpected and I have to say unprofessional of them.
“It meant we had to get something out to say that we would absolutely make certain that Paul Lambert stayed manager of Norwich City and he was certainly not going to Burnley, there was no question of that.”
