		</div><p>Leeds owner Massimo Cellino says he wishes he had never bought the club after again stating his desire to leave Elland Road.</p>
<p>The Italian took over at Leeds in April 2014 and has endured a turbulent reign, although his pending disqualification is likely to be withdrawn by the Football League after his appeal against a conviction in a tax case was upheld in an Italian court last week.</p>
<p>Cellino agreed to sell the club to Leeds Fans United earlier this season before reneging on that proposal and has talked about leaving on numerous other occasions.</p>
<p>His latest claim &#8211; made in an interview with The Times &#8211; comes days after Leeds ended the Sky Bet Championship season in 13th place.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had enough,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s better to walk out, not because I&#8217;m dishonest but because I&#8217;m tired and hurt and lonely.</p>
<p>&#8216;Why did they disqualify me when they knew the truth? I don&#8217;t want to complain because I&#8217;m a foreigner but I&#8217;m lost. I have no happiness any more and don&#8217;t know if I have the enthusiasm for the next season.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I could turn back time and you ask whether I would come to this club, I would say never. But now what should I do? Cry?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been so confused. I&#8217;m nearly 60 and would never have expected that from Leeds. I&#8217;m ashamed to say it.</p>
<p>&#8220;If someone wants to buy the club I will sell it. If somebody doesn&#8217;t come in I have no choice but to run it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cellino has been the subject of a number of protests from fans&#8217; group Time To Go Massimo and admitted the supporters&#8217; anger towards him had left him feeling unsafe.</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;I&#8217;m scared to take a train in case someone comes up to me. My family don&#8217;t come to Leeds anymore because they are scared.&#8221;</p>
<p>It emerged this week that Cellino&#8217;s son Ercole &#8211; who caused offence by using a Nazi reference to describe his haircut in a post on Instagram &#8211; had stepped down from his position as director on the club&#8217;s board, while his brother Edoardo was suspended by the Football Association following offensive comments he made to a supporter on social media.</p>
<p>Time To Go Massimo is encouraged by Cellino&#8217;s latest comments and hopes it is the beginning of the end of the Cellino family reign.</p>
<p>It said in a statement: &#8220;Time To Go Massimo cautiously welcome statements made by Massimo Cellino to The Times newspaper, where he appeared to confirm he is ready to sell Leeds United Football Club.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are aware that he has made comments and given interviews similar to this in the past and sincerely hope that this won&#8217;t be another false promise.&#8221;</p>
