I dont really see the post as scaremongering in anyway it just seems to bear out what has been in the press for sometime I dont know whether they are true but they could be a possibilty posting them on the Internet is not goin to affect the team very much what is going to affect the team (which is what Duncan is worried about) is if Pardew is not performing well if there is a poor relationship with the Chairman which I think he believes there is. With regard to the ownership I dont think it is healthy that an owner can do whatever he likes with the football club for a variety of reasons but we have an owner and we have to live with that

I am sorry but I totally disagree with you FF explained his reasons for posting which you seem to have disregard completely. If there are tensions within the club between the Chairman and the Manager I would like to know about it as it is not a good thing

It all depends if they can work with Cortese I would have thought Although I dont see any reason for Pardew to go I dont think it would be a disaster if he went

Yes I think it is a question

Is that Likely By the way does anybody know whether ML works in a similar way to NC

I did not realise posters apart from one in particular are being critical of Cortese on this thread

The rumour could of course be coming from people who know Alan Pardew as I said earlier he may find it difficult working with Cortese and maybe looking for a way out. I once worked for a boss who was impossible to deal with so I moved and got another job it is a relatively common occurrence I would have thought

Well they are ****ing stupid

Even if we only do as well as last season we should be in the playoffs If we win couple more games we will probably promoted automatically So whats the problem?

The rumours do exist whether you like them or not But they are only rumours and the contents may not come to be.

Perhaps Pardew will leave Southampton F C because he finds it difficult to work here is another possibility

I doubt there are any positive Cortese/Pardew rumours

Or just telling the truth It would be good if Papa signed

No but we have not even started yet was my point

Why is everybody reponding to Alpine who is totally unreasonable and has little idea of Football Seems to be a good performance today with a couple of new signings and our injured players back I think we will do well this season There are still 46 games to go

I am very sorry I have read your posts but they appear pointless as Antonio is a Reading Player if he was a Saints player then I would agree with you.

You still seem to overlook the fact that Puncheon is a Saints Player and Antonio a Reading one

I doubt if any team will be in the top 2 Huddersfield Colchester and Sheff Wed also lost

Perhaps as all had played some part of the Pre season AP wanted to give them a chance to play at St Mary's in front of a big crowd.

Did not expect to win but pleased with the first hour or so Lets hope our injuries heal before next week

We may well have tried to secure his transfer but perhaps Reading think he is a good player and want to keep him.

Yes that was my point but did not have time to make it as well as you

It is not a half strength squad I would have thought but the Squad minus a few players

Our club wants us to pay I think to keep up to date with scores. It all changed last season

Whats wrong 2 1 at the moment http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~2107391,00.html
