Redknapp backs Shearer

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes Alan Shearer is the ideal candidate to become the next Newcastle manager. "I'd give Shearer the job. I think he's perfect for it," said Redknapp, who on Saturday rejected the chance to replace Sam Allardyce at St James' Park. "He'd set the place alight and the fans love him. Experience doesn't matter - he understands football," he added. Redknapp also ruled out any chance of him joining Newcastle should the club renew their interest.
