I have just watched the full Hughton press conference on Canary Player, and CULLY and Karsa are indeed both staying with us.
Contary to what you may believe, both are on rolling contracts.
I think they'll be leaving at some point Wiz - but I also think it's only right that they remain with Norwich in the meantime, so that they can assist Hughton & his staff get matters sorted.
Lambert seemed very relaxed about matters at Villa's PC so I would imagine he'll be fully aware of any release clauses both Culverhouse & Karsa have in their contracts and when any clauses might be exercised if he wants them to join him at Villa.
McNally doesn't appear to always speak the whole truth in public as I said previously. So we shall see what transpires in the next few weeks...
Although for ALL of the Norwich fans bitterness I have noticed that McNally hasn't criticised AVFC's conduct in public in any way shape or form from what I can see.......because he knows he hasn't got a leg to stand on!
Unlike Norwich when they poached Lambert off Colchester with an illegal approach and got fined for it I might add!
AVFC may well have spoken to Lambert's representatives some time ago as anyone is allowed to do...but they sought permission from Norwich at some point in order to speak directly to their manager AND what's more it was granted because of release clause in PL's contract which allowed him to speak to another premier league club - Villa knew he had the clause - so did Lambert & his representatives and so did Norwich....
McNasty then decided he'd withdraw that permission the night before the talks were due to take place....., which angered Paul Lambert and the rest as they say is history!.....
