Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has blasted Ross McCormack, saying the recently-sold striker had wanted to leave Elland Road back in January. After almost four years at Leeds, McCormack joined fellow Championship club Fulham earlier this month for a fee just short of £11million.

"He tried to walk away in January to Cardiff and was already sold for £2m but I turned it down."

"He wanted to go away for a lot of reasons he told me, his kids, his wife. He had just signed a three-year contract and he was happy with the wages and it was good wages.

"But they offered him better wages and like I told you, I was not happy to sell. I said 'OK if you want him, give me £10m.' I said it because I was sure no one would offer it, so it was a good excuse.”

I bet players can't wait to be employed by this guy

Its a good thing an owner has come out and said this ross is no diffrent to any player in our SQUAD if another offers more wages this happens its just you dont hear of it untill there gone as much as our own fans like to think city players are totally diffrent when there not

cant have been "sold" then can it

During the window the guys working under this nutter was ringing him up 24/7 about McCormack, apparently one guy who works on the board was threatened to be sacked if McCormack was sold in January.

I'm glad he tried to walk & not drive
