Tim Sherwood 'interested in Crystal Palace job'

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood is said to be interested in the vacant managerial position at Crystal Palace.

Neil Warnock was sacked by the Eagles earlier today following a run of six games without a victory which has seen them slip into the Premier League's bottom three.

Sherwood was immediately installed as favourite with most bookmakers to replace the 66-year-old, and ESPN claims that he is keen to return to management following his five-month stint at White Hart Lane last season.

Former Palace defender Tony Popovic and ex-manager Tony Pulis are also in the frame to take over.
