Former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson has explained why he did not move to Leeds United earlier in his career.
Robinson, who was at Oxford United for the past five years before his sacking in February, admitted that he could have taken charge of Leeds back when he was MK Dons manager.
However, he was not entirely convinced after having a conversation with Massimo Cellino of Leeds.
"The Leeds one in 2016 was an interesting story," Robinson told the podcast No Tippy Tappy Football.
“I met them on the Friday. I didn't sleep on the Friday, I didn't sleep on the Saturday so something didn't feel right. Leeds weren't the Leeds they were today, but they were still Leeds.
“I actually saw Sam Allardyce on the Monday and he said to go and meet them again, so I arranged to meet them and they weren't there – 10am not there, 10.30am not there – so I phoned Sam and asked what to do, and he said to wait until 11am. Next thing they turned up and the conversation was a little erratic, unstable, and I thought, this isn't me. It didn't feel right.
“The fact that it was Leeds, it just wasn't the right time. I'd just got relegated a few days before with MK Dons, and I felt so guilty for that. My personality meant I had a lot of guilt about that relegation – but then I got sacked by MK Dons two months later!"
