The report today says: "Tony Pulis's rocky relationship with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish could see Alan Pardew make a dramatic return to Selhurst Park in the summer.
"Pulis has had several brushes with Parish this season over Palace’s transfer policy and the pair are once again at loggerheads over their pre-season plans for next season.
"The strength of their personalities make it possible both men may agree to part ways at the end of the campaign and Pardew would be a strong candidate to succeed Pulis.
"A former Palace player, Pardew is close to Parish but it is unlikely Pardew would voluntarily walk away from a top job like Newcastle.
"However, his position has been under scrutiny since being hit with a seven-match ban for headbutting Hull’s David Meyler."
