Alan Pardew: Former Crystal Palace manager not in Norwich City job running

Alan Pardew is not in the running to become the new Norwich City manager, BBC Radio Norfolk understands.

Former Crystal Palace and Newcastle boss Pardew, 55, had been linked with replacing Alex Neil who was sacked by the Championship club on Friday.

Canaries caretaker boss Alan Irvine said after the weekend's 2-2 draw with Blackburn he expected to still be in charge against Barnsley on Saturday.

Chairman Ed Balls said Neil's sacking was the start of "big changes".

Norwich are also expected to announce some more changes this week, having been without a chief executive since Jez Moxey left last month.
