Last week, Massimo Cellino took the bait, and was filmed advising fake businessmen how to circumvent third party rules and profit from illegal player sales. Thanks to his shortsightedness, he is now subject to yet another FA investigation, and now has four active cases under review by football authorities.
Watch as Cellino proposes selling 20 percent of Leeds to a fictitious investment firm to help share profit on future player sales:

Cellino, known for going through managers almost as often as his team wins games, was clearly not an ideal fit when he took over the club in 2014. He came to the club with a tax case looming over him, and in addition is currently facing charges over an illegal payment during Ross McCormack’s sale to Fulham, as well as investigations regarding Adryan’s 2015 transfer in addition to his most recent run in with the FA.
The rampant corruption throughout professional soccer has proved to be tough to crack down on, but could this be the final straw for the Leeds owner? Leeds fans surely hope so.
