Fans group reaches ‘agreement in principle with Massimo Cellino’ to purchase majority Leeds stake

“One hundred per cent I will sell to the fans, if they want to buy it and look after the club. The fans are the only asset the club has.”

Supporters group Leeds Fans Utd says it has reached “an agreement in principle” to purchase president Massimo Cellino’s majority stake in the Sky Bet Championship club.

The Italian, currently appealing against a second Football League ban, is thought to have met with fans on Friday as he looks for a way out of Elland Road, having this week told The Times newspaper that his tenure had been “a nightmare”.
