Football League:

An independent QC has overturned the decision by the Board of The Football League that Massimo Cellino is subject to a disqualifying condition under its Owners' and Directors' Test.

A Football League spokesman said:

"We are disappointed at the outcome of the appeal hearing, however we would like to thank the independent QC for his diligence in reviewing this decision.

"This was never about individual personalities, but instead was a matter in which we were obliged to uphold the integrity of our regulations having considered the issue in detail with our advisors.

"It was always an extremely complex matter in which a different interpretation of a judgment made under Italian law could lead to an entirely different outcome in the context of our regulations. Ultimately this has proven to be the case.

"The independent QC has concluded that Mr. Cellino's recent conviction in the Sardinian Court did not involve conduct that would 'reasonably be considered to be dishonest' based on information available to him at the current time.

"The Football League will now consider the findings of the hearing."

Die you f*****g c****
 
I can't believe it.

Wonder whether a team of lawyers have been working solidly for the last 24 hours trying to find a way to block the successful appeal?
 
You do get the feeling Elland, the fl are messing with the wrong man in Cellino. The morning treads are about to get very interesting I predict

They went to far, far too far.

Heads will roll at the Football league.

Wonder whether Harvey will resign?
