Both managers have spoken to each other over the incident and have buried the talk immediatly , Rading boss Alan Pardew gave an interview saying that he is inquiring over getting Di Canio at Reading until the end of the season.

But Hammers boss Glenn Roeder was spitting feathers over the comments and was not best pleased , Pardew has since gave an apology over his mistake saying " I made a genuine mistake by talking about the deal.

"Glenn Roeder is very upset about it and has made his feelings clear to me.

"I apologise to both Glenn and to West Ham."

Roeder quickly wrapped up the cross wires saying " The important thing is that when Alan Pardew did eventually talk to me he acted very swiftly and now knows not to speak publicly about Paolo or any of our players."

Di Canio is definetly not for sale and is well in Glenn Roeders immediate plans .
