Hmm I wonder where this story has come from? Because surely one of our most loyal, and least likely to leave at the moment, is Pepe Reina. He's just signed a new 5 year contract in April, is always talking about how he loves the club, is regarded as a future captain...
Fair enough if we hadn't been taken over, and were still saddled with Hicks and Gilette, or we were still bottom of the league and not on a good run of form. However, all of these aren't true. Hmm...
I don't get it. Most people would have thought it was a non-starter. So either it's all true, (which Pepe has already denied) or somebody is trying to unsettle him. I don't normally buy into the conspiracy theories that the media hates us, but I really don't get this story.

Or he made a little bit of noise about wanting improvement in the squad and it snowballed.

When has he said that, though?
All I can think of is that he doesn't get on with Hodgson, which there has been some evidence of. Even so, I can't envisage Budgie being here next season, so he should just sit tight, he'll deffo outlast him. If NESV have to make a choice between keeping key players, such as Reina, or the budge, I know who they should and probably would choose. And it isn't that saggy faced wind sock.
