Rejected petition Leeds United Ownership
Rejected on
Investigate the Football League's handling of Massimo Cellino's attempt to buy Leeds United AFC, particularly with regard to delaying a decision until a court case had taken place. At the time of the application he was 'innocent until proved guilty'. What would have happened if the court case had been 6 months away?
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is for the Football Association to decide. The Government is, however, closely monitoring the compliance issue.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
