Leeds United Owner Massimo Cellino Makes Plans To Avoid Matches

League Championship side Leeds United Owner Massimo Cellino said that he will not watch any more matches" after fans called on the owner to quit," according to the LONDON TIMES. Cellino said, "It pains me to make this decision." Cellino "has agreed to sell his majority stake in the club to the fans." He said, "But what I was subjected to at the Blackburn game left me feeling I had no other option but to take a step away. After the time, effort and emotion I have given to the club to try and enable us to move forward, it hurt me a lot to hear the fans singing what they did on Thursday night." Cellino’s pledge to stay away "comes after Friday’s revelation that he would sell the club to the Leeds Fans Utd supporters’ group." LFU CEO Dylan Thwaites "is currently in talks with the Italian," but there are reports other potential bidders have expressed an interest (LONDON TIMES, 11/3).
