“I'm prepared to resign if it's what I have to do,' Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

“I'm prepared to resign if it's what I have to do,' Cellino 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.”
