Milan Mandaric worked with Harry Redknapp at Portsmouth during his time as chairman of The Blues.
The Serb is now Leicester chairman, but knows Pompey gaffer Redknapp well enough to think he's the right man for Newcastle.
"It would break my heart to see Portsmouth without Harry because he was made for Portsmouth," Mandaric told Sky Sports News.
"They have done a tremendous job there, but I understand Harry and that he thinks he has done what needs to be done there and it is time to move.
"I hope that is not the case. I don't want him to leave Portsmouth, but there is a certain indication that he will go to Newcastle.
"Maybe I am prejudice, but as far as I'm concerned he is a magic guy as far as how to select the players and how to get the best out of them.
"I don't think anyone is better than Harry and if he goes there. I think he will do a better job than a lot of people.
"No disrespect to previous managers, they are all good people, but Harry is magic as far as that goes."
