Re: Paddy to Chesterfield
Of course we would have been able to offer him what he wanted as his final move, but would it have been the right thing to do, think forward 12 months, we have just got promoted to the championship, the second year of paddy’s contract is just about to start, but he gets to his 37th birthday during that season, and you are asking a 37 year old player to play in a division that he has only ever played 9 games and scored no goals, not fair to expect him at that age to play in the championship, hence only a 1 year contract was offered, the move he has got is perfect for him and in fact us. I hate the idea that he is going but i fully understand it from both sides. He will remain a legend at county, could easily lose that with a 2 year deal, well done to both parties.
