He said in today's Scotsman: "I had the option of another year, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Glasgow and am glad I came back, but playing rugby has been what has kept me going and I'm at a stage now where I don't know if I could do any more on the field. I won't just hang around and take the money - I've never played rugby for money - and so while it's been great putting my experience to good use with bringing through some cracking youngsters here, they're now forcing me out, which is the way it should be."
Kenny also played his part in setting up new sponsorship deals with Highland Spring, British Airways and a nutritional supplements firm and is still involved in talks with wealthy entrepreneurs about bringing money into the three professional teams, and it is no surprise to hear him state vigorously that he believes the SRU must work quickly to bring more money into the game.
He said: "I have been working on that for some time, speaking with people I have met all over the world, and even with what has happened in the last month there are still people with real financial muscle who want to help Scottish rugby.
"The difficulty in financing sport, all kinds of sport, is that you have to spend money to make money and the SRU arent in a position to do that right now. But if they can get the governance sorted out and start moving forward again, there are people out there willing to invest, and franchising is our best hope of lifting this game up and putting us back among the best nations in world rugby."
