Leeds United manager Neil Warnock claims that he does not regret turning down the chance to take charge of Chelsea in 1991.

Neil Warnock has insisted that he does not regret not accepting the managerial job at Chelsea in 1991.

The 64-year-old was then the Notts County manager when Ken Bates, who is currently his chairman at Leeds United, offered him the Chelsea job.

"I don't have any regrets really because your life shapes around decisions really and I was a Northern lad and I thought going beyond Watford was the end of the world in those days," Warnock told reporters.

"I went down twice, once to the ground and once to Ken's farm in Beaconsfield and I was stuck on the motorway for five hours on both occasions and it didn't seem to be me really, so there are a lot of issues.

"I wanted to stay loyal to a group of players who had been fantastic for me."

Warnock, who is now the Leeds manager, added that there is no loyalty to managers in modern football.

"If it was a different way round, why do managers stay loyal, you get the sack anyway, why not go and take the opportunity? Good luck to you," he said.

"I've nothing about this loyalty thing now. My advice to young managers is if you get the chance, go. You get kicked in the teeth if you stay so you can't win either way."

Leeds will host Chelsea in the League Cup quarter-finals at Elland Road on Wednesday.
