Newcastle boss Pardew looking forward to returning to Crystal Palace

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is delighted Crystal Palace are back in the Premier League.

Pardew is a former Palace player and manager.

"Crystal Palace were my first club and one I hold dear to my heart. So I was jumping around the room when they made it. I can't wait to go back to Selhurst Park. The Premier League's a significant jump for Crystal Palace.

"When they were in the Premier League, they got themselves into difficult financial positions twice. They will be very conscious that doesn't happen again. With Ian Holloway as manager, they'll always be competitive. He's that type of manager. So fingers crossed they have a fantastic season," Pardew told the London Evening Standard.
