sport news It's apocalypse now for Leeds with players abandoning ship and managerial ... trends now

There is only one certainty at Leeds United right now - and that is which division they will be playing in next season. Everything else at the now Championship club is up in the air, with Sunday's relegation raising more question than answers.

Will owner Andrea Radrizzani still sell his majority stake to 49ers Enterprises? Who will replace Victor Orta as director of football? Will Sam Allardyce be asked to carry on as manager? Which players will stay and who will go?

Here, Mail Sport tackles the big issues at Elland Road.

WILL SAM ALLARDYCE STAY AS MANAGER?

He wants to. But the club are already considering other options and Allardyce would be an unpopular choice with supporters.

'If I am going to do anything else, it is going to be here,' he conceded on Sunday night.

Allardyce wants talks this week to 'thrash out' his future and believes he can guide Leeds to promotion. He has already talked up the EFL experience of assistant Karl Robinson as something which could be invaluable next term.

Within the club he has impressed. His presence is said to have initially put a smile back on the faces of players at training and one of the first things he did was send assistants Robinson and Robbie Keane to supporter club meetings.

However, Allardyce's results have been bad and that is the biggest factor. Although Leeds fans were apathetic about his appointment with four games to go, the majority do not want to see him continue.

It is almost seven years since his ignominious exit from the England post and since then he has managed successfully at only one club, Crystal Palace. Prior to his spell at Leeds, Allardyce was last seen at West Brom and Everton and neither spell went especially well.

IF NOT ALLARDYCE THEN WHO?

There is no shortage of interest in the job. One intriguing name is Graham Potter. Leeds would suit the former Brighton and Chelsea manager in many ways. He could build again from the bottom up and would find promising young players to work with.

However, another relegated team - Leicester - are also interested in Potter, while the 48-year-old wants another chance in the Premier League after spending almost the last four years of his career working in the top flight.

Elsewhere, West Brom manager Carlos Corberan is a former Leeds Under 23 coach and has admirers at Elland Road. He signed a new contract at West Brom earlier this year but it has a release clause.

DO LEEDS HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH SQUAD TO COME BACK UP?

Allardyce thinks so but has also said it needs depth and, most importantly of all, a goal scorer. Leeds have to shift in the region of £100million worth of players this summer.

USA midfielder Tyler Adams showed his top-flight class before his season-ending injury. Rodrigo scored 15 goals in all competitions and Leeds could make a huge profit on Willy Gnonto, the 19-year-old Italy forward they signed for just £3.8m last summer. 

Goalkeeper Illan Meslier, German defender Robin Koch and Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra may also leave, and Weston McKennie - who fans labelled 'a fat b******' when he was subbed off against Tottenham - is sure to go back to parent club Juventus.

Midfielder Brenden Aaronson, who signed from Salzburg for £24.7m last year, has a relegation release clause in his deal and will attract interest across Europe.

Leeds have a group of young players they are entitled to feel excited about. It is anticipated that a Championship squad would continue
