Palace whittle head coach shortlist down to trio
Crystal Palace are believed to have whittled down their head coach shortlist to three viable contenders.
Andoni Iraola is still the preferred option and asYour Site News reported last week Palace will not give up trying to appoint the Spaniard.
However, they currently expect him to join a bigger club when his contract at Bournemouth expires at the end of June, and it means two other options are being worked on.
The identity of those remains unclear, as Palace have admiration for a string of other top coaches from their long list.
One of those is the Lens head coach Pierre Sage. He has been discussed at the South London club, but it is unclear whether he has made the top-three, or how gettable he is due to due to his contract situation at the French club.
Your Site News has already mentioned the likes of Kieran McKenna and Frank Lampard are on the long list but neither option is likely to be pursued at this stage.

Howe: Discussions next week over Schar future
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar's fitness and future:
"There's not much chance he'll make the last two games which is a real shame because he was so close to coming back earlier on.
"Then he suffered the infection he did, and he's back running again and looking fit and healthy but there's a big difference between that and actually playing.
"I don't think he'll be there, which is a real shame.
"Fabian's still got a lot to offer on the pitch, his qualities are still there. He's had a difficult season, picking up a serious injury but he's contributed so much - we'll have discussions with his representatives in the next week."
Howe: No plans to sign a striker as it stands

"We've still got work to do in that area, but Yoane Wissa has had fitness issues, Will Osula has really grown and blossomed as he's gone into the season, Anthony Gordon has played there, Nick Woltemade has played there and did well in the early season.
"The players are there, we just have to bring it altogether and make it work."
