Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp doesn't believe Newcastle United will finish in the top four.
The two clubs played out a 2-2 draw yesterday.
Redknapp said: "If Newcastle finish in the top four, Alan should be manager of the year. I am not saying it is impossible but if you ask my honest opinion it will be very difficult.
"Arsenal will come back, Tottenham are strong. Man City, Man United and Liverpool are strong and Chelsea, well...
"But Newcastle are going very well and Alan has done a great job."
