​Pardew committed to Palace but has eyes on eventual England job

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is interested in the England job but only sometime in the future when his work with the Eagles is finished.

"I want to be the England manager," he wrote in his Daily Mail column. "It is a job I aspire to and it is an ambition of mine. But not now.

"Now, I have a big job at Crystal Palace and we have an important summer ahead of us. We have already made a couple of big bids and I want to build our team.

"I have signed a new contract, we have new, ambitious American investors and with my chairman Steve Parish we all want to attack this division.

"I've been to the Euros, I am rested and feel galvanised and ready to push on from our FA Cup final appearance. That has made me hungry for more.

"I do hope the Football Association will want to talk and I have strong opinions on England, but I have been asked if I want the England job and I have given my answer. One day."
