Leeds owner Cellino has four cases of wrongdoing under review

The news comes in the wake of reports by the 'Telegraph' that suggested Cellino was willing to offer 20 per cent of Leeds United to false businessmen in order to get around rules regarding third-party ownership of players.

While the fotballing authorities will review all allegations by the newspaper, Cellino allegedly has three more cases that are currently under review.

Leeds allegedly made an illegal payment of £185,000 to Ross McCormack's agent when the striker was sold to Fulham in 2014 and there is also an inevestigation into a third-party arrangement into the loan of Brazilian forward Adryan in 2014.

The final case is regarding the dismissal of the dismissal of former academy welfare officer Lucy Ward, the partner of former Leeds manager Neil Redfearn. Ward was subject to sex discrimination by Cellino and the Italian owner did not bother giving evidence at a trial of her case, despite denying the offence.

Leeds will protest against Cellino when they face Yorkshire rivals Barnsley on Saturday afternoon.
