Leeds United are pushing for a decision in the next 24 hours on whether Massimo Cellino’s takeover of the club will be approved. They wrote to the Football League’s in-house lawyer, Nick Craig, on Thursday morning.
A spokesman for current Leeds owners GFH Capital told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “Leeds United have this morning sent a letter to the Football League, demanding that the Football League hands out its decision by the close of play today. This is an unprecedented delay which is damaging the owners’ ability to move the club forward.”
The Football League are, however, having to take legal advice after Cellino insisted that the recent tax case was not a conviction in Italian law and in any case he had not been dishonest.
