Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is in talks with the ambitious Premier League side about a new contract as he looks to deliver silverware.
Pardew arrived at Selhurst Park a year ago, with Palace languishing in the bottom three before the former Newcastle United boss guided the team to a 10th-place finish last term.
"The reason I am talking to them about a new contract here is because I feel we could go forward," he said.
"There is no point in me staying if I don't have the ambition.
"At this time of my career, I need to win trophies - that is probably the thing that you can hold against me as a manager, so I want to win trophies.
"When I came here the most important thing was to go from the concept of a manager who was trying to stay in the division - which I think Neil Warnock's mentality was - to a manager who wanted to finish higher than that.
"If you set your sights for the stars, you are going to fall a little bit less.
"The biggest difference I made here was changing the mentality of the players to make them think they could go and win.
"It's quite an important role for a manger, to give belief. I take that as massive for this football club at the time. I think there was a lack of belief.
"I changed the dynamic of the players and the attitude of approaching games. To go and win games and not a 'see how we go' kind of attitude to try and stay in the game."
