Cellino returns to Leeds with scathing blast

Massimo Cellino blasted Leeds United upon his return to the board today.

Cellino has been granted permission by the Football League to return to the Leeds United board.

He wasted no time in highlighting a number of perceived shortcomings at the Sky Bet Championship club under the guidance of interim chairman Andrew Umbers.

"Nothing has been sorted out," said Cellino.

"When I left, everyone was looking after their own skin rather than what was good for the club.

"Everything needs sorting out for next season - the sponsors, ground, lights, even pre-season.

"They told me we were booked for the pre-season. Then I find out the Liverpool U17s are booked at the same place and there is only one training pitch. Amateurs.

"We also need a head of press, a head of the academy, a sporting director, a club secretary.

"This is unbelievable and quite scary. Andrew Umbers is a nice man, but this is hopeless."
