Palace have plunged into turmoil just as their skipper left the UK to link up with his national team in Melbourne ahead of the Asian Cup, Neil Warnock having been sacked in the final days of 2014 with the team now in the Premier League relegation zone.
Caretaker coach Keith Millen claimed after the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa on Thursday that Pardew, lured from Newcastle United back to the club where he starred as a player between 1987 and 1991, will take control of the first team ahead of the FA Cup third round tie against Dover on Sunday.
"I haven't heard anything about an announcement; I've not heard anything about that," he said.
"I'll wait and see what happens. Regarding my situation with Palace, I keep in contact with my team-mates, who keep me in the loop on things. I haven't done in the last few days. If that all changes, it might change. But at the moment I haven't [made contact]."
Prior to his dismissal, Warnock had tried to delay Jedinak's departure for Australia, with the loss of a key player for over a month a major blow to the strugglers.
"Not all, I left with their best wishes," Jedinak said.
"I know how things are run over there, I know the day-to-day proceedings go and I knew this is an important tournament for me and everyone at the club understood that. You've got to be 100 per cent committed to that and I definitely will be."
