Relegation-threatened outfit are currently propping up the table with just one win so far
Check in to West Bromwich Albion vs Crystal Palace
Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace are interested in appointing Newcastle United head coach Alan Pardew as a replacement for the recently departed Ian Holloway as the south-east London club’s next manager, according to reports in the Daily Mirror.
Holloway left his role at Selhurst Park last week by mutual consent following a 4-1 home loss to London rivals Fulham in the Premier League, and now following the Eagles’ latest reverse, against top-of-the-table Arsenal last Saturday, Palace find themselves rock bottom of the top flight after the opening nine matches of the season.
However, Palace co-chairman Steve Parish is understood to be keen to bring Pardew back to the club, although the 52-year-old’s seven-year contract at St James’ Park may make any move for the former Palace defender highly problematic to say the very least.
Pardew is somewhat under-pressure though, with some poor recent results for Newcastle, and it is thought that he would be interested in taking up a role with the Eagles.
Others names in the frame for the job are ex-Stoke City boss Tony Pulis, one-time Sunderland coach Martin O’Neill and current Wales manager and former Palace star Chris Coleman.
