Portsmouth boss Paul Hart has rejected rumours linking him with the manager's job at Reading, saying he is "very much" committed to Pompey.

Reports earlier this week suggested Reading were targeting a move for Hart should they lose patience with Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers' position at Reading is thought to be under threat following a disastrous start to the Championship season.

However, Hart has moved quickly to dismiss the rumours linking him with a surprise move to the Madejski Stadium.

"I heard about the story yesterday," Hart told The News. "Brendan Rogers is very much the manager of Reading Football Club and I'm very much manager of Portsmouth Football Club.

"That's absolutely it. Finished."

"You gotta feel sorry for Hart, he takes the job and has to immediately flog all his best players due the previous regime's sheer incompetence and then they talkk about sacking him. Disgusting. It seems to me as an outsider that Harry Redknapp left Pompey in a right state and Hart is desperately trying to pick up the pieces!"
