As if the threat of Premier League relegation wasn’t enough for Leeds United right now, the club have been handed a further £40million headache to boot.
On Sunday, Javi Gracia’s side were hammered 5-1 by Crystal Palace to leave their survival hopes hanging by a thread, with the club lying two points clear of the drop zone. And it won’t get any easier with Liverpool next up at Elland Road on Monday, while they still have to go to Manchester City before the season is out.
But as well as their current form, the club’s transfer policy is also firmly in the spotlight. That’s after they were ordered to pay former player Jean-Kevin Augustin - who played just 48 minutes under Marcelo Bielsa - a huge £24.5million after being found to have breached his contract.
