Nigel Worthington comments in local press
"I wish to make it clear that seven days ago, on July 7, I spoke to Tim Davies, the Leicester chief executive and, at his request, to Micky Adams, about the availability of James Scowcroft. Micky Adams quoted a figure and I said that if the figure was of interest to us I would call him back. I have not done so.
"The approach for James Scowcroft was a proper one, entirely in accordance with Premier League rules. Given all this, Norwich City are upset about Micky Adams' comments which are, I believe, entirely without foundation."
Worthington declined to speak further on the subject.
