Little parted company with Wrexham by 'mutual consent' on September 27, 2008 following an unsuccessful start to life in the Blue Square Premier after relegation.
Little admitted: "Simon has spoken to me, but having a young family means the location and the travelling involved isn't ideal for me. I'd have loved to work with Simon Grayson and I think he has the potential to become a great manager. But with the location of Leeds and my location, it would involve a 240-mile round trip every day, which just isn't ideal."
