please log in to view this image 10/07/2012 by West London Sport QPR and Leeds United appear to have agreed a deal for goalkeeper Paddy Kenny to move to Elland Road. He looks set to be reunited with former Rangers boss Neil Warnock, whom he also played under at Sheffield United and Bury. Warnock has been hampered by financial restrictions at Elland Road and at one stage looked like missing out on the 34-year-old as a number of Championship clubs made their interest clear. But Kenny has always favoured a return to Yorkshire and stalled over possible moves elsewhere in the hope that Warnock would get the green light to sign him. Warnock’s cause was helped by an offer from Bolton for keeper Andy Lonergan, which seems to have paved the way for Kenny to move. Kenny’s future at Loftus Road has been in doubt since Warnock was sacked by Rangers in January. Prior to that, the club discussed a new contract for the Republic of Ireland international, whose current deal is due to expire next year. It later became obvious that he was not in Warnock’s successor Mark Hughes’ plans – especially when contract talks pencilled in for the first week of February did not take place. Hughes made enquiries about several high-profile keepers before Robert Green’s arrival resulted in Kenny being made available. During his two seasons in west London, Kenny has made 77 league appearances for the R’s and was a key player in their promotion to the Premier League. http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/qpr-and-leeds-in-deal-for-kenny/ Would be sad to see him go, such a character and big part in us getting to the promised land. The best of luck in the future Paddy and thanks for everything
I thought Lonnergan was much better than Paddy (according to Leeds fans on the previous speculation) so that means they're down grading? Hardly the actions of a massive club. I'm sure Warnock will get the best out of his old comrade and Kenny will win them over. Good luck and thank you Paddy.
Now I could've tweeted him my goodbye and thank you Paddy Kenny thread. If it hadn't been ****ed up by people saying it was premature he wasn't going, and others calling him fat! Promotion season POTY = Minor legend
I dont think they will, they think they have a better goalie already and arent impressed with the signing at all. Could be another Cerny situation when he signed for us, especially if Kenny carries on last seasons form.
