The High Court will hear a winding-up petition against Leeds United on March 17.
A turbulent few days at Elland Road began with United manager Brian McDermott controversially sacked ahead of a proposed takeover from Cellino last Friday, with the club also rejecting a £4m bid from Cardiff City for Ross McCormack. With McDermott immediately reinstated as manager, 27-year-old striker McCormack has exclusively told Sky Sports that he hopes to grow in his role as captain and insists that a move to Wales was never a possibility. "To be honest, (a move away) wasn't that close at all. Cardiff made a bid for me and the club turned it down," he said. "There were a few more bids made for me, but the club said I wasn't for sale at any price. You have got to respect the decision, get your head down and get on with it." Following the announcement at the weekend that the 52-year-old McDermott was to return as manager, the Scotland international has reiterated his desire to remain at Elland Road. "I think I showed where my commitment lies on deadline day when I found out the manager got sacked," he said. "I could have handed in a transfer request and forced through a move to Cardiff but I didn't do that, because I'm happy to be at Leeds United. "I love being at the club but that's the industry we're in. Managers change but the football club stays."
