Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew feels Harry Redknapp will struggle to leave Tottenham for England.

Pardew ruled himself out of contention for the England job on Thursday and thinks the position is Redknapp's for the taking - providing he wants it.

"I'm sure Harry will get a phone call and he'll have a decision to make. But he's got a fantastic team here," Pardew said.

"They're definitely in the mix to be the best team we've played, along with Manchester United and Manchester City."
