'Sacked' McDermott to return to work at Leeds

Leeds manager Brian McDermott will report for duties as normal at the club’s training ground this morning despite appearing to have been sacked on Friday.

The club’s prospective new owner Massimo Cellino attempted to dismiss McDermott shortly after he had agreed a deal with current owners Gulf Finance House (GFH) Capital to buy 75 per cent of the club’s shares last week.
