Vinnie Jones - Leeds United

Vinnie Jones has suggested on social networking site Twitter that that club chairman Massimo Cellino is not going to sell Leeds United.

Cellino recently took full control of Leeds by buying the rest of GFH Capital’s shares in the club.

The Italian entrepreneur’s Eleonora Sports company bought a 75% stake from GFH in 2014.

According to BBC Sport, Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani is in talks over buying a major stake in the Championship club.

Former Leeds midfielder Jones has stated that Cellino does not plan to sell the club.

Jones made the comment when asked on Twitter to get a consortium and buy Leeds.

The former Queens Park Rangers midfielder has also suggested on Twitter that he will continue to bet on Leeds.

The former Wales international had predicted both Leeds and QPR to win in the Championship this weekend.

While Rangers played out a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, Leeds went down 1-0 to Huddersfield Town at Elland Road.
