Leeds United president Massimo Cellino has vowed to comply with the Football League's ruling to disqualify him from the club, saying that he is "prepared to resign" if he has to.
The 58-year-old revealed last week that he is to appeal the ruling banning him from running the Championship outfit until next March, which came about as a result of tax evasion charges in his Italian homeland.
"I'm prepared to resign if it's what I have to do," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "I said to the other directors that I don't want to bring any problems on the club so if I have to resign in 28 days and then wait to finish my appeal, I will.
"I'm fighting this and we think we will win so after the appeal I will be back. But I don't want to give the League a reason to punish the club. So if I have to go then I'll go."
Cellino has previously claimed that he has no intention of selling Leeds.
