We tried to sign Paddy Kenny in 2010

From the horses mouth on part 2 of his guest appearance on John Parkin's podcast Under The Cosh.

 

We activated a £750,000 release clause in his contract after his drugs ban was up in 2010. He mentions it at about 18:30 of the video below and at about 25 minutes he mentions we offered him "more money, a lot more money" than QPR did but he wanted to join Warnock again. Our recruitment that year was a shambles.

We ended up with David James on that disgraceful wage so... Maybe Paddy would've been better!

This came up on a related thread recently:

The story there was that the fee was £250k and he was all set to come but Lansdown chased James instead and that led to Coppell leaving. I’d guess the truth is somewhere between the two stories ...

Coppell had agreement for £250k on condition the deal was concluded within a couple of days (Sheff U were in dire financial straits with HMRC and offloading players to meet the bill.) Kenny's wages were within budget because we were getting him on the cheap. I think Kenny gilders the lily in suggesting Sheff U wanted to keep him after his ban, they were simply looking to cash in.
