League One - Robinson dismisses Leeds link
MK Dons boss Karl Robinson says he is flattered to be linked with the vacant managerial job at Leeds but insists he is committed to the Milton Keynes club.
Leeds are looking for a new manager after parting company with Simon Grayson last week.
Back in November, Robinson admitted his head was turned when Nottingham Forest came calling following the departure of Steve McClaren. But speaking after his side's 1-1 draw at Huddersfield on Saturday, the Dons boss was adamant he is staying at stadium:mk.
"It's the fifth one this year. Forest and a number of other clubs have come knocking this year" said Robinson. "It's flattering, and I do look at Leeds as one of the greatest in my generation. They are one of the biggest clubs in the country. I remember going there with Dons and it was spine-tingling just walking out at Elland Road.
"But I've stuck to my word and signed a new contract. Certain managers ask for time, get success, and then jump ship. I'm going to stay here for as long as I can and get this club where it belongs.
"You may look at that and say I lack ambition, but I want to be the best one day. I'm a long way from being that. A million miles and many years, but I want to keep learning with good people, a good chairman and a fantastic group of fans."
