It's getting worse for Leeds. Cellino confirms he's stopped funding club. Story soon via @sport_simon or see @AndrewHaigh timeline #lufc

sportingintelligence @sportingintel
Told Cellino was asked for another c.£4m loan before end of March, for #lufc wages + 1 other thing (perhaps tax, tbc?). He said 'No more'.

@AndrewHaigh
Massimo Cellino exclusive by @sport_simon in tomorrow's @SunSportNow: Confirms he has stopped bankrolling #lufc after putting up to £10m in.

@AndrewHaigh
As I understand it, #lufc have a significant payment to make soon. Now Cellino is refusing to put money in, it makes the situation critical.


I fully expect Leeds to be in administration very soon and could be another relegation rival, and should you win a few of your games in hand then you'll go above them!

    Pah, Northern problems !

    But It's incredible that such a well supported club, the only one in a large city, could constantly be in these problems.

    Very surprising. Leeds seem to have about as much luck as us with their owners.

    Thought this would be a thread moaning about how we shouldn't get passionate about football cos "I saw a kid today with 1 leg" or something along those lines.

    Refreshing to see we can take solace in others misery in a footballing sense!

    Any chance we can serve them with a winding up order?

    Even if they lose the 10 points they'll still have a good team with a good goalscorer.

    Mate of mine was there last night and he said Leeds were dire. That makes me feel good. F**k 'em!

    I would expect us to need snookers to stay up by the time we play Leeds so, 10 points away might be something to hope for.
