Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino also facing FA ban?

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino is allegedly facing a potential ban from the Football Association, on top of his recent Football League suspension.

The Italian was suspended from owning or running the club until next June due to a conviction over unpaid VAT in his homeland.

He has until October 21 to submit an appeal, but could be hit with a separate dispute from the FA.

The governing body is investigating claims that Cellino paid a backhander in relation to Ross McCormack's £10.75m move to Fulham and violated third-party ownership regulations when he signed Adryan on loan, according to The Mirror.

Cellino has sacked five managers during his 18-month reign at Leeds, recently recruiting Steve Evans as Uwe Rosler's successor.
