Geordie legend Alan Shearer was the early favourite after Allardyce's shock departure but, when the BBC reported that Shearer wanted to continue in his Match of the Day pundit role, Redknapp emerged as the new front-runner.
But Redknapp, responding to the speculation, told The News in Portsmouth: "I really do not know anything about this. I have not spoken to anyone from Newcastle."
He added: "When I saw Sam had left my immediate thoughts were that Alan Shearer was a certainty to take over. There's nothing in my being linked with the job.
"I had an offer not so long ago to take over at what I consider a massive club but I didn't go. I am happy down on the south coast."
