The deal which is upto 2006 he has taken a pay cut to set an example to others around the club , there are 11 players out of contract at Reading at Pardew stated "I need to be the standard bearer for everyone else."

Pardew also added " There are some tough decisions to be made over new contracts for my staff and players.

Reading including Alan Pardew are taking this stance because of the lack of money in the Nationwide these days , and maybe other clubs and players will follow suit and come to there senses that monry is just not there anymore.
