I think Reading looks like a plum job at the moment. I don't they will struggle to fill the post and could well get a better manager than Pardew.
Spot on!

Tooting Gull said:West Ham haven't been unethical or immoral at all. Fair enough to be pissed off, I would be, but take a step back and look at the big picture. They've played it absolutely right, made an official approach, and your manager has decided they're a bigger club and is pissed off he hasn't been given the freedom to talk to them. That's no crime. just life. He was forced into resigning, you might say fair play Madejski, but he's caused this.
I still don't think we're quite in the clear on this one yet, if West Ham think the legal wrangles will take too long (they need someone quick), and the payoff is too big, they could still come back for Stevie.
Seagull over NZ said:At the end of the day though, none of this garden leave will happen. The two clubs will now agree a conpensation package presumably. Otherwise Reading are stuffed. Maybe they should have allowed him to speak to them as they may not get anything at all now.
Titanic said:Why the hell would Reading want to pay Pardew his full salary for months on end, just out of spite ?? It makes no sense at all, and if I was a magager or player condisering a contract with them - I would think twice before signing it.
What a bunch of tossers.
jonnyboylennon said:Well Wilts, do you finally agree that Pardew is, and always has been... a ****?
Still seems completely stupid to me - if you've got money to burn, spend it on attracting a decent new manager - don't chuck it in Pardew's pocket.
Wilts said:
I'm sure your club would do the same if Coppell went to QPR for example.
Superphil said:Wilts,
the reason we're so interested in this is because there is a lot of concern that Coppell will be wanted at Reading, i he leaves us we really are stuffed cos we could not afford to pay anyone gardening leave. I think it will get a lot more messy for the Royals yet, but I truly hope you find someone else to replace P*****w, whoever it is they will have a great oppertunity to prove themselves.
ben andrews girlfriend said:Probably not, we couldnt afford 2 managers wages at the same time!
jonnyboylennon said:Agreed Wilts.
And you are lucky that you dont have to sell players, because i GUARANTEE that wanker would come straight back for Sidwell, Murray etc.
