The signings of Leeds United's US contingent have been blamed for their relegation from the Premier League. The Whites saw their time in the top flight come to an end on the final day of the season.
Sam Allardyce was the third manager to take charge during a season that kicked off with American Jesse Marsch in charge. However, former England and Newcastle United manager Allardyce was unable to save them from the drop.
They are now preparing for life back in the Championship under new ownership after the 49ers takeover was confirmed. It is hoped their stay in the second tier will be brief.
