Reading boss Leam Richardson has distanced himself from a move to Championship side Blackburn Rovers following reports linking him with a move to Ewood Park. But Richardson has played down a potential move as he chases the League One play-off positions with Reading. "We've had no direct contact [with Blackburn] and I don't think there's many questions to be answered. Asked if he could catagorically rule himself out of becoming the next Blackburn boss, Richardson replied: "I think we've answered those questions." Richardson signed a one-and-a-half-year deal as Reading boss in October following the departure of former boss Noel Hunt.
