ONE manager has rejected the chance to talk to City about the Valley Parade vacancy, according to a report.
Peter O’Rourke, transfer correspondent for @footyinsider247, claimed that Karl Robinson turned down the opportunity to chat with the Bantams.
But it is understood that former Oxford and MK Dons boss Robinson, who was also briefly number two at Leeds under Sam Allardyce, was not among the names the club had drawn up as potential targets for the hot-seat.

The 43-year-old has been out of the game since leaving Elland Road following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.
Ex-Huddersfield and Portsmouth boss Danny Cowley is the 5/4 favourite with the bookies for the City job. He is also being strongly linked with a return to Lincoln, the club he took from the National League to League One.
Current caretaker chief Kevin McDonald is 9/4 to be kept on in a permanent capacity after a four-match unbeaten run so far.
