Eagles slump but won’t rush new appointment
Temporary manager Millen expects to take charge of tomorrow’s Capital One Cup trip to Walsall, and continue controlling Palace’s transfer affairs in the meantime. Palace have a week to bring in reinforcements before the transfer window closes, with temporary staff still recommending targets to co-chairman Parish.
The Eagles crashed to a 3-1 home Premier League defeat to West Ham on Saturday, further highlighting the need to conclude the hunt for Tony Pulis’s replacement. Initial favourites Malky Mackay and Tim Sherwood have long since fallen out of the running, while sources suggest Neil Lennon remains a long-shot.
