Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew is on the verge of taking over at Crystal Palace after being given permission to talk to his former club.
Newcastle confirmed on their official website that Palace had made a formal approach to speak to Pardew about their managerial vacancy and they had agreed.
“Crystal Palace have offered compensation at a level whereby Alan has now been permitted to speak to them,” the statement said of the manager who joined the club in December 2010.

“As a result of this development today, Alan will not be at training on Tuesday. Training will be the responsibility of assistant manager John Carver.”
The agreement smoothes the way for Pardew’s move to the club where he was once a favourite as a player.
With Pardew’s Newcastle contract still having six years to run, a compensation package will need to be finalised between Palace’s co-owners and United owner Mike Ashley, who is currently on holiday in Barbados.
If the deal is confirmed, it would mean Pardew leaving a club currently lying 10th in the table for one struggling for survival in the relegation zone in 18th place, having sacked their manager Neil Warnock on Saturday.
Yet after a turbulent time at St James’ Park, where he faced various campaigns calling for his resignation or dismissal, the 53-year-old Pardew would be warmly received back at Palace, the club he helped steer to an FA Cup final as a midfielder in 1990.
