Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric has rebuked beleaguered manager Alain Perrin for making insulting gestures at referee Mark Clattenburg during the 1-0 defeat at Bolton, but insists the Frenchman´s job is not under threat.Perrin was sent from the touchline and into the stands in the dying moments of the defeat at at the Reebok Stadium, after infuriating Clattenburg by sarcastically applauding a decision to book Pompey defender Brian Priske for taking a throw-in from the wrong place."It is disappointing," Mandaric told Sky Sports News. "I do not approve of this at all. Unfortunately for Alain, the pressure is mounting and he was under pressure when we were losing a game we should not lose and it resulted in his act."
