Magpies boss backs Redknapp for England post
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has ruled himself out of the running to replace Fabio Capello as England manager.
Pardew has been mentioned as a possible contender to succeed Capello when the Italian steps down from the role after Euro 2012.
The former West Ham and Charlton boss has guided Newcastle to third spot in the Premier League this term off the back of an unbeaten start to the campaign.
Pardew admits it is nice to be linked with the Three Lions job, but he feels he does not have the right experience for the country's top role.
"It's nice to hear your name mentioned with things like that, but in terms of the England job, it's not for me at this time," said Pardew.
Just not interested
"I'm just not interested in it. I don't think I have the experience to do that job.
"There's someone in hospital at the moment ( Harry Redknapp) who could definitely do the job though.
"I think he's at the right age and he's had the right experience in his career.
"When it comes to the England job, I think the most important thing about the position is that the general public need to buy in to whoever the manager is.
"I think they would willingly buy in to Harry Redknapp, and I think that's very important. He would definitely be my choice."
