Massino Cellino has said that he is ready to quit Leeds United: ‘I’ve had enough.’ The owner told The Times, ‘It’s better to walk out, not because I’m dishonest but because I’m tired and hurt and lonely,’ as violin music welled up in the background.
He continued, ‘I have no happiness any more and don’t know if I have the enthusiasm for next season. If I could turn back time and you ask whether I would come to this club, I would say never. I’ve never been so confused. I am nearly 60 and I would never have expected that from Leeds.’

Cellino said that he had spoken to groups interested in a takeover, but was dismissive of their intent. ‘A lot of people have called me to buy the club but they are just fishing. I don’t see the money.’
Cellino said that his big mistake had not been spending enough money on public relations and he apologised for that.
He also said that Elland Road would not be bought back from a local businesman: ‘How can you buy a stadium when they are bringing out a coffin and saying “Time to Go”‘.
