Crystal Palace were worried about Everton coming in and stealing Nuno Espirito Santo off them, the Daily Mail suggest, prior to their talks collapsing.
Palace tried to push Nuno to make his mind up over joining them, as they were concerned that a move to Everton could appeal to him if they didn’t tie him down.
Talks have now fallen through at the last minute between Palace at the Portuguese boss, meaning that he is on the market again.
