  • Intro:

    Reaction from Alan Pardew and Garry Monk after Crystal Palace's 1-0 win over Swansea on the final day of the season in the English Premier League

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City coach:

    (on the cancellation of Sam Allardyce's contract at West Ham and speculation linking him with the 'Hammers' job)

    "Yes, I'm very focused on Swansea and obviously the transition of the squad this year. I made 12 changes, brought in eight, that transition hasn't finished, I'm looking to make another transition in the summer and try to put my real stamp on it, for next season. So, I'm very focused and committed to Swansea and going forward obviously with Swansea."

    SOUNDBITE (English), Alan Pardew:

    "If I've got to sum up the season, I've got to mention Newcastle because I am so pleased for the fans of Newcastle in particular, the staff and the players. They managed to get a win as well which was good. It was in their hands and they got over the line. Great first half of the season for me there. Didn't start particularly well but it got better and we got stronger. Then an arrival here, club in a difficult position but not short of quality and not short of character and my goodness they proved that. This league is demanding, physically and mentally and we've come through that and the second half of the season, the last 18 or 19 games, our record is phenomenal."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Alan Pardew:

    "We've had some conversations yeah. Trying to feel the market - it's a difficult market because next year I think is a big year for Premier League teams. I think chairman know that next TV deal is going to be such that the pressure on us guys, who are always the focal point, is going to be huge. I can see a real topsy turvy season next year with managers coming and going. So this summer is important for all managers, including myself."
