Leeds United have been slapped with a charge by the Football Association for breaching agent regulations in the transfer of Ross McCormack to Fulham.
The prolific striker was sold to the Cottagers by the Whites in the summer of 2014, with Leeds pocketing around £11m from selling him to their Championship rivals.
The FA has now slapped Leeds with a charge for alleged misconduct and have given the Whites until 20th May to respond to the charge.
In addition, the FA has also charged Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino and agent Derek Day, who are alleged to have broken the governing body's regulations on football agents.
The pair have also been given until 20th May to respond to the FA charge.

The FA said in a statement: "Leeds United have been charged for breaching The FA’s Football Agent Regulations.
"The alleged misconduct relates to the transaction involving the transfer of Ross McCormack from Leeds to Fulham on 8 July 2014.
"Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino and authorised agent Derek Day have also been charged for breaching FA Rules and The FA’s Football Agent Regulations respectively, in relation to the same matter.
"All parties have until 20 May 2016 to reply to the charges."
McCormack signed a four-year deal with Fulham and the agreement also contained a number of potential add-ons which could take the final fee above the £11m mark.
Leeds signed McCormack from Cardiff City in 2010.
