Message from the Chairman Andrew Umbers
leedsunited.com 24/2/15
Massimo Cellino has made a decision to separately, and in his own name, challenge the Football League’s decision on the Appeal Hearing of January 15 to reject his appeal and challenge its correctness in law.
Subsequent to the Appeal Hearing on January 15, he has abided by the FL rulings on disqualification and has also disposed of any personal ‘interests’ in Eleonora Immobiliare S.P.A and Eleonora Sport Ltd ( the majority shareholder of LUFC).
Massimo Cellino is taking this independent action so that LUFC is seen to be fully compliant with the Football League Rules and thus help the football club avoid any sanctions.
LUFC are optimistic as to the outcome of the Disciplinary Panel Hearing and of the Rule K Hearing,
