That means there will be no wild transfer spending or budget-busting pay packets.

He also says he has NEVER seen out a contract yet!

Alan Pardew: "The playing field becomes a little bit more even than it is with Manchester City at the minute, who just have buying power way beyond our dreams.

"I have entered contracts in the past and I haven't seen them out, so I can't say I have been totally loyal on that front.

"But as I say, you do get wiser and I would like to say I will see the contract out. In Mike's mind, it is, 'You are going to see it out, and you had better do well'.

"It would be great for the club if that was the case because that means I would have brought success of some type.

"I am kind of the pantomime villain at Reading for leaving the way I did, but I have since that time more than made up with the owner, who gave me my start, so I have a lot to thank him for, John Madejski."
