Veteran manager Harry Redknapp has said that he will consider the vacant Sunderland managerial position if the Black Cats were to approach him. The Black Cats parted ways with manager Simon Grayson following their draw against Bolton this week.
The club are currently languishing in 22nd position on the Championship standings with ten points from 15 game and they could face the risk of back to back relegations should their performances not take an improvement.
The 70 year old Redknapp is without a job after he was sacked by Birmingham City earlier this season.
He has since admitted that he will be open to taking the Sunderland job should he be approached and said: “It’s the first I’ve heard of it. I’ve never spoken to anybody. I am getting bored though, I must admit. Sandra is getting more bored of me, more importantly!
“Sunderland is a great club with great tradition. It shouldn’t be where it is at the moment. It is another club that should be doing a lot better.”
