"?Owner and president of Leeds United Massimo Cellino could be suspended from all footballing activity in the next few days, according to "?Yorkshire Post.
The suspension is related to charges of an alleged illegal payment regarding the transfer of striker Ross McCormack to Fulham back in July 2014. Leeds United and McCormack's agent Derek Day are also being accused of breaching FA rules, with the organisation giving United until Friday to officially respond to the allegations.
The payment in question was in excess of £185,000 that the club agreed to pay Derek Day following the completion of the Scottish striker's transfer, however the charges are in reference to the fact that all parties involved knew that Day was scheduled to give the fee to Scottish boxing promoter Barry Hughes.
Hughes isn't licensed by the FA, whose official rules stipulate "a club must not directly or indirectly make any payments to any unauthorised agent in respect of any agency activity". Despite being one of the central figures in the fiasco, McCormack himself is not being accused of any wrongdoing.
Cellino originally stated that he was "confused" about the allegations as he didn't believe he had done anything wrong. Alongside the potential suspension, the club would likely receive a large fine for their involvement in the case.
This isn't the first indiscretion made by the controversial Cellino whose reign as owner at Elland Road continues to shrouded in controversy.
