Ex-Prem star ‘abused by own fans’ and questions why he’s managing for free
Former Premier League shot-stopper Paddy Kenny has questioned why he's managing for free as he was abused by his own fans.
The 45-year-old was announced as co-manager of Northern Counties East League Premier Division side Goole alongside Nathan Helliwell last month. And after a rocky start to his managerial career, Kenny has slammed his own fans on Twitter.
Goole lost 4-1 to Frickley Town on Tuesday evening, but the discontent started at half-time, when the two sides were level. "I question why I’ve become a manager," Kenny fumed on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"And doing it for free when your four games into it and drawing 1-1 with a team who beat you 0-8 before you took over and your getting abuse from your own fans need to have a good think about this."
"Take a breath you know what it’s like trying to win the fans over," one fan responded. And Kenny replied: "Haha I know, I’m calm this morning was very angry after the game haha, next match is Penistone at home on the 18th."

Kenny is best remembered for his spell at Sheffield United, but he also turned out for Leeds United and QPR over a journeyman career. The 45-year-old also picked up seven caps for the Republic of Ireland.
Goole is Kenny's first job in management, with the club having announced last month: "Following a long day of interviews throughout Monday, we are now in a position to announce Paddy Kenny and Nathan Helliwell as our new joint management team.
"Paddy and Nathan will be announcing their backroom team in due course. Please join us in welcoming Paddy and Nathan to the club."
