Document was not a contract - O'Neill

Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill has admitted to signing a conditional statement of intent to join Leeds four years ago – but insists nothing legally-binding was put in place.

Former Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale revealed the story in a serialisation of his autobiography, 'United We Fall', but O’Neill said he only entered talks with Ridsdale because he did not believe his employers Celtic were going to offer him a new deal.
