Alan Pardew is poised to be appointed as the new Crystal Palace manager with a £2million compensation clause thrashed out between the south London club and Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley. Pardew has made clear to Ashley he wants to go to Palace where he was a former playing favourite and the
Toon chief has agreed to reach a compromise with Eagles chief Steve Parrish rather than demand the full £5million he would be entitled to under the terms of Pardew's contract. Pardew ducked the post match press conference after Newcastle's dramatic 3-2 victory against Everton on Sunday and has agreed to move to Selhurst Park once the clubs reached an agreement.
Pardew has faced various campaigns calling for his resignation or dismissal by sections of supporters throughout his turbulent reign at the club.
Ashley, who did not attend the victory over Everton on Sunday, has been plotting his next move from his holiday retreat.
The billionaire is wary of the upheaval if he allows his manager to quit the club and will also need to find a replacement prepared to work under his demanding ways.
Ashley could yet play hardball and demand the £5m compensation from Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, but the Eagles are unlikely to agree to that with the £2m deal being muted on Monday afternoon.
Pardew is known to be frustrated after being told at a transfer meeting held around four weeks ago that there will not be any money to spend in January.
Instead there is the possibility that Moussa Sissoko will leave in January after Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain declared an interest in the France midfielder.
