I told Daniel when I signed a contract that I'd leave if we got relegated. I probably would have called it a day, in all honesty."[LNB]Redknapp's side face Newcastle on Sunday in a crucial game being shown live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1 at 1.30pm.[LNB]The Spurs boss - who was linked with the Newcastle post after Sam Allardyce was sacked last season - believes it is make-or-break time for Magpies counterpart Alan Shearer if he wants to remain in management.[LNB]"If he doesn't go with it now, I don't know if there will be tomorrows for him," Redknapp said.[LNB]"This was always his job, everyone who went there said Alan will eventually take over.
