The Cellino thread - The Football League verdict

If you read Cellino's past them run ins with authorities over footballing matters isn't new, but had probably been advised to take a leave of absence. After all he wants "his" club to do well and its obvious off field matters effect our performance disproportionately

I heard he called in at ER at half time to pick up a pair of gloves he'd left and it got back to the players and that's why we lost, it effected them so much.

FL: You are banned until 10th April
Cellino: Okay, though after the 10th I'm not coming straight back as taking legal action
FL: Wel then, you are banned until 3rd May
Cellino: Still not coming back until legal action resolved

According to the Telegraph Sport, Cellino's extension to 3rd May is due to 'failing to supply details of his tax evasion trial'.

His ban is having no effect on us, in fact since he was banned the teams form has really improved.

That could be viewed as having an effect, as our form wasn't great when he was still at the club.

The concern is will any legal action have finished by May, if not will Cellino be absent and will new players and contracts be delayed. Looks like Umbers had been told to Steer the ship but not Stoke the fire if he can't do contract negotiations or sign new players
