Premier League side Norwich City CEO David McNally has "changed his mind for the second time in less than 48 hours and resigned from his role at the club," according to Hamish Mackay of the London DAILY MIRROR. McNally "initially announced his resignation via Twitter on Saturday" following the defeat by ManU that left them on the "brink of relegation." He wrote, "I've resigned tonight and I hope that the club can progress." But in the early hours of Sunday morning he performed a "dramatic U-turn," tweeting: "I take back what was said earlier, I remain fully committed to NCFC and to Delia [Smith] and Michael [Wynn Jones] and I've not resigned. My apologies." On Monday morning, however, the club released a statement saying Norwich's board of directors had "unanimously agreed to accept his resignation" after all (DAILY MIRROR, 5/9). The BBC's Chris Goreham opined McNally's "departure is a hugely significant moment for Norwich City." This "was the man who ran the club on a day-to-day basis and had the final say on most things, from player transfers to what was on sale in the club shop." The Canaries' "current predicament sees the club four points from safety with two games to play." On Wednesday, the club faces "Watford at home and then Everton away on the last day of the season" (BBC, 5/9).
