Leeds' players defer part of month's wages
Leeds' players have agreed to defer a proportion of their wages for this month, Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has said.
No assurances over McDermott's future
Leeds manager Brian McDermott has not been given any assurances by club owner Gulf Finance House Capital that his players will be paid this month.
McDermott told a press conference on Thursday that he had not sought any either, but admitted after Tuesday night's 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth that "all the talk of who's going to be in (as owner), talk of who's going to be paid" had been distracting his players.
GFH Capital and prospective owner Massimo Cellino have been reported to be arguing over who will fund the wage bill for March after the Football League blocked the Italian's #25million takeover bid earlier in the week.
It was confirmed on Thursday that Cellino has formally appealed against Football League's decision to block him from buying a majority stake in Leeds.
The appeal will be heard by an independent QC and is expected to take place within the next two weeks.
