Sent down to get dealer sorted (9)
I believe the answer is:
relegated
'sent down' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'get dealer sorted' is the wordplay.
'sorted' indicates an anagram.
'get'+'dealer'='getdealer'
'getdealer' is an anagram of 'RELEGATED'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for relegated that I've seen before include "Put down" , "sent down" , "Kicked downstairs" , "not given precedence" , "banished" .)
