Allardyce will 'sort Palace players out'

Sam Allardyce would "sort the players out" if he is named Crystal Palace manager, says Eagles caretaker boss Keith Millen.

Allardyce, who kept Sunderland in the Premier League last season, is in talks with Palace about replacing Alan Pardew, who was sacked on Thursday.

Millen said he did not know for certain who would succeed Pardew, but suggested Allardyce, 62, would be good option.

"If it is Sam, Palace are getting an experienced manager," he said.

"Certainly for players he is an experienced Premier League manager. He did a great job keeping Sunderland up.
