Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has cooled England talk.

Asked about succeeding Fabio Capello, Pardew shot down that possibility.

"It's not for me at this time. I'm just not interested in it," he said. "I don't think I have the experience to do that job.

"There's someone in hospital [ Redknapp was allowed home later on Thursday following a heart procedure ] at the moment who could definitely do the job. 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."
