Crystal Palace to make shock move for Newcastle top dog

Alan PardewWe’re only two games into the 2013/14 Premier League season, but there is already talks of managerial changes, with Crystal Palace looking to remove Ian Holloway as manager and replace with him Newcastle United’s Alan Pardew according to the Mirror.

Somewhat ridiculously Ian Holloway is already coming under pressure in south London, with Palace having lost their opening two games of the season to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and Stoke City yesterday.

Newcastle United aren’t exactly doing much better and while the Magpies might have picked up a solitary point at St James’ Park against West Ham yesterday, Pardew’s men are still yet to score in this campaign.

However, according to rumours that hasn’t deterred chairman Steve Parish from taking a liking to former Palace player Pardew and monitoring his situation at Newcastle closely.

The pressure has already started to show for Ian Holloway, as he’s struggled to bring in players this summer, much like Pardew, and he was moaning about refereeing decisions in their opener against Spurs.

Relations are said to be strained behind the scenes, and if Pardew were to be given the boot at Newcastle, then it is thought that Pards wouldn’t be out of a job for long and that Crystal Palace would immediately let go of Holloway and swoop for Alan’s services.

The question is, how long will it take for the Premier League managerial merry-go-round to get going?

    Anyone who knew anything about palace would know this is complete bollocks and that one of the owners denied it within about 30 seconds of the story coming out

    Never understand why people read ridiculous stories and decide to rehash them in their site as if theyve got some inside knowledge. Lose all credibility

    What a load of absolute manure. There’s surely as much truth in this as Palace about to pip Real to the signing of Bale. As a Palace fan even if we go down I would hope to keep Holloway. He’s exceeded expectations already by getting us up. If he keeps us up he deserves a knighthood. Thankfully our owners will not gamble with the long term future of the club to stay in the premiership which will make it difficult for him to keep us up but I’d far prefer it that way.

    And that would pave way for jfk eh?? Its fat ash that needs removing

  • Chris says:

    CPFC Co-Chairman Steve Parish has already dismissed this as total rubbish and nonsense, stating there’s not a grain of truth in this story.
    I don’t kmow of any disquiet from Palace fans about Holloway’s credentials, he’s hear for the long haul!

    Ha Ha Trashley just keeps taking this club further down

    Not be long until someone Nuts him somewhere sometime
