Harry Redknapp becoming England manager is not a foregone conclusion, says Tottenham's Sir Keith Mills While speculation over who will be in charge of England for their forthcoming friendly with Holland and moreover for the Euro 2012 Championships this summer continues, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is the first potential candidate to rule himself out of contention. "Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it's not for me and I will make that quite clear," he said. I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned.
