Keith Millen "ready" for permanent Crystal Palace job

Crystal Palace interim boss Keith Millen throws his name in the hat for the full-time job at Selhurst Park.

Keith Millen has said that he is "ready" to manage Crystal Palace on a full-time basis if he is called upon.

Millen took charge of the Eagles' 0-0 draw away to Queens Park Rangers this afternoon following the sacking of Neil Warnock on Saturday.

He also managed Palace in an interim role earlier in the season after Tony Pulis resigned, and the 48-year-old says that he commands enough respect in the dressing room to perform well.

"I'm ready for it. The players respect me. I've done it enough times," Millen told BBC Sport. "It's about respect. I respect the players and what they're about and hopefully they respect me for my knowledge and hard work with them.

"You do have to detach yourself from the players as a manager, but also with Premier League players you have to make sure they understand what you want from them.

"I don't know how long I'll be in charge for. I have not been told I've got a chance and I haven't spoken to the chairman [Steve Parish] about myself."

This is the third time that Millen has taken charge of the club in a caretaker role, having also earned the job on a temporary basis after Ian Holloway was sacked in October 2013.
