Arsenal legend Wright explains turning down Swindon job

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has explained turning down the Swindon Town job.

Wright was offered the post before Kevin MacDonald's appointment.

MK Dons coach Wrighty said: "I got a call on Monday morning and it was something that, all of a sudden, I had to start thinking about other things.

"You start thinking about what team you will put out if you're going to do it. I was very, very excited about it.

"But in the end it was something that, being out the game for the time I have and only being back at MK trying to learn certain things, it's not enough to time to go into a club like that and try to get them what they need right now - promotion.

"They've got a very, very good man in Kevin MacDonald. But it was something that I was really, really enthused about."
