“It’s a fantastic football club but I wouldn’t see myself getting that job”, Redknapp told talkSPORT.

Meanwhile, the pressure is mounting on Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after a poor start to the Premier League season was followed by their Capital One Cup exit at Stoke City.

The development coach, whose original 17-year-old association with Villa ended in June 2012 before being brought back to the club by Sherwood last February, is in his second stint as caretaker, having bridged the gap between Martin O’Neill and Gerard Houllier following the former’s sudden departure in August 2010.

Rose, who along with team-mates Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier was present at White Hart Lane to re-launch the club’s remembrance poppy wall, told Sky Sports News headquarters: “It’s not nice seeing any manager losing his job, especially Tim because I’ve known him a long time and he’s very passionate about his job”.

“If we win, we go to the quarter-final”. Reading about it in the media you could sense someone was going to lose their job sooner or later and I’m sorry it’s Tim. “It’s a challenge and I want to win the game”.

Aston Villa players’ pride will see them climb up the Premier League table, caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald said while admitting the squad is low on confidence.
