A 1-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, after Newcastle had beaten Stoke 3-0 earlier in the day, means Alan Pardew's Magpies are now three points ahead in fourth spot in the Premier League with four games remaining.
And with England (allegedly) ready to give him the call ... we have to ask ourselves ... is he the man for the job?
There are a thousand better managers out there, who don't happen to be English.
Redknapp has only won ONE trophy his entire managerial career ... so is the FA expecting a miracle putting their hope in this man?
Personally ... I don't think he is anywhere NEAR good enough.
Harry Redknapp: "I wouldn't think there is any pressure on them (Newcastle Utd)."
"They have achieved a miracle.
"What Alan has done there has been fantastic to get them in the position they are in. It has been a great achievement so they can relax and play.
"You have to give them credit for what they have done. And they do look good at the moment. They have some fantastic forwards.
"I am very confident.
"Although we might have to win all four. I can't see Chelsea losing many, they look very strong, and Newcastle are going great. But Chelsea have got to play Newcastle.
"Then Newcastle have got to play Manchester City so it is all to play for. We are still a point ahead of Chelsea. If we win all our games it doesn't matter what they do."
