Steve McClaren is reportedly hanging on to his job as Newcastle boss by a thread after their 5-1 thrashing by Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The defeat at Selhurst Park leaves his Newcastle back in the relegation zone.
Brendan Rodgers is the favourite to replace the former England boss if (when) he does leave the Magpies but reports are also suggesting another former Premier League manager may also be in the frame.
Harry Redknapp has had spells with several clubs in the top flight, including the likes of West Ham and Tottenham.
A report in the Mirror now claims that Redknapp could make an unexpected return to management.
If he does, he faces a difficult task.
