Leeds United assistant manager Karl Robinson has recalled the time he turned down a job offer to manage the first team from the club's previous owner Massimo Cellino back in 2016 after an 'erratic' conversation with the Italian.
The 42-year-old was manager of Milton Keynes Dons at the time, but was offered to take over from then-Whites manager Steve Evans following his departure in May.
And while he now sits as the assistant boss under long-term friend Sam Allardyce at Elland Road in trying times, he could've been in Allardyce's position seven years ago.
