Leeds co-owner Massimo Cellino has had his 18-month Football Association ban reduced to 12 months after an appeal.
In November Cellino and the club were each fined £250,000 after being found guilty of breaching the FA's agency regulations.
The decision related to the sale of Ross McCormack to Fulham in 2014 and Cellino stated an immediate intention to appeal against it.
That has been successful in terms of a six-month reduction, but the FA announced on Friday that the Italian will be banned from all football-related activity for one year commencing on Feb. 18.
In addition, Cellino's fine has been reduced to £100,000 and the club's to £200,000.
Cellino is now due to begin a one-year exile from all football-related activity on February 18 but in a statement said he believes he is being unfairly treated.
The 60-year-old Italian believes that moves such as locking Sky Sports out of Elland Road in protest against fixture changes are being held against him.
"Mr Cellino remains disappointed yet not surprised by the outcome of the appeal," a club statement read.
"Mr Cellino will take the matter further and will appeal this matter under Rule K of the FA's Arbitration Regulations.
"Mr Cellino expected that the appeal would be successful but he is of the view that he will not receive true justice and a fair outcome until this matter ultimately reaches a High Court and a truly independent process and hearing."
The statement added: "Mr Cellino now perceives that as a result of him challenging the EFL's international and domestic broadcasting arrangements, he is now a target for unfair allegations. Mr Cellino repeats that the only charge he is guilty of is for fighting to protect the interests of Leeds United."
Last month, Cellino sold 50 percent of his stake in Leeds to compatriot Andrea Radrizzani.
The FA has said its full written reasons will follow in due course.
