Beeb: McN wants Lennon, rest of board Malky. Apols if WW2

"Lennon wants to construct something lasting, and there are attractions in England when a club like Norwich can utilise a ?25m transfer budget.

Lennon was the first choice of the Carrow Road chief executive David McNally to replace Chris Hughton. Other members of the board, though, were more keen on Malky Mackay.

Lennon's departure stirs intrigue. He is not believed to have been interviewed for the position, but Mackay has not yet taken the job at Norwich and he will be in Celtic's thoughts now.

It cannot be wholly discounted that Mackay's delay, or even a potential move to Celtic, creates an opening for Lennon at Carrow Road, although Gianfranco Zola and Neil Adams have been interviewed. If Lennon went, he would be expected to appoint his former Celtic team-mate Chris Sutton as his assistant. "
