How can it be moot when the IFA and Worthington have said this?

?On Thursday evening, the Irish FA turned down a request from Norwich City FC to speak to the Northern Ireland manager (Nigel Worthington) with regards to their vacant managerial position.

?Nigel is currently making preparations for the up and coming World Cup qualifiers and is fully focused and committed to his job as the Northern Ireland international manager.?

?I am happy to focus on a job I am enjoying,? Worthington told the BBC. ?I spoke to the president about the situation and we are both happy that it was in the best interests of the association and myself that any offer from Norwich be rejected.

?I had a successful time at Norwich although the last six months were a bit hairy when tough times hit.

?I still live in north Norfolk but I have done the Norwich job and have now moved on and am really enjoying my role with Northern Ireland.?

Newcastle also denied approaching Harry Redknapp when he publicly turned them down. It was bollocks.
