STATEMENT: FOOTBALL LEAGUE RESPONSE

Club response regarding Football League statement....

We have today received a notice from the Football League disqualifying Mr Cellino from being a director of Leeds United Football Club until 18 March 2015.

The club is in the process of taking legal advice on the reasoning of the decision. In the interim, the club notes that nothing has changed since the decision of the Football League’s Professional Conduct Committee in April 2014.

The steps that the League wishes the club to take – to remove Mr Cellino only to re-appoint him in three months’ time -  will be destabilising for the club, its supporters and sponsors and cannot be in the best interests of any party.
