Crystal Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen admits Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew would be a good fit for the club.

Millen admitted Pardew has plenty of the credentials to impress at Selhurst Park, but continued to press his own case.

The former Bristol City boss said he still aims to return to management in future, but vowed to stay on with the Eagles if wanted by the eventual new boss.

"Alan's played for this club, he's from this area, he's got a lot of fond memories and it means a lot to him, this club," Millen said. "Crystal Palace is a good job for somebody, I know it is.

"We've got a good group of players, we had a good season last year, and the chairman and the board want to build on what success we've had.

"So it's an attractive job and I can understand why Alan would be interested.

"I want to manage again, without a doubt. But I'm patient at the moment because I enjoy working at Crystal Palace. I enjoy my role working with the players, because they are a good group to work with and I come into work enjoying what I'm doing.

"You can't always pick and choose when jobs become available. I'm always on the look to see what's going on. I've had no approaches for a job so I've not had to make that decision, and I'm actively not looking for another job.

"At the moment I'm happy, and if a new manager comes in and sees me as playing a key role... as long as someone comes in, sees what you're about and values what you do, then I'll be happy.

"And we'll see what happens in the future."
