Alan Pardew Set For Crystal Palace Job

Newcastle gaffer Alan Pardew is set to put pen to paper in a move that will see him become the next manager at Crystal Palace FC.

Pardew who is one of the lowest paid managers in the Premier League on a heavily-incentivised deal at St James's Park will earn a pay rise of at least £1m-a-year if the deal pull-through.

Crystal Palace owners are set to table a £2.5m-a-year, four-year deal for Pardew to move to Selhurst Park and he will be handed a £10m transfer kitty for the January transfer window.

A United statement read: "Newcastle United can confirm that Crystal Palace have made a formal approach requesting permission to speak to Alan Pardew in relation to their vacant managerial position.

"Crystal Palace have offered compensation at a level whereby Alan has now been permitted to speak to them.

Meanwhile, John Carver has been named caretaker manager at Newcastle United.

Carver will be the man who oversees preparations for the New Year's Day game with Burnley.
