Leeds Utd supporters want Cellino to sell

Leeds United Supporters Trust have urged owner Massimo Cellino to sell the club after he was disqualified by the Football League.


Cellino still found time to sack Uwe Rosler as Leeds boss and replace him with former Rotherham manager Steve Evans, his sixth manager since April 2014.

The Italian has confirmed that he will appeal his disqualification but a statement from the Supporters Trust suggested that Cellino should simply part ways with the West Yorkshire club.

The statement read: "The Trust believes Leeds supporters have suffered enough over the years and therefore asks Massimo Cellino brings clarity and honesty to any public statements in the immediate future and considers the supporters need for a stable club at all times in how he deals with his latest ban."

The Trust also urged Cellino to appoint a Managing Director with a wealth of experience and knowledge of English football.

"This includes putting in place an experienced English football managing director who stays for the medium term and for our majority and minority owners to consider whether their continued presence at Elland Road is conducive to the good of the loyal support."
