I have difficulty transfering funds that I don't have as well.

The state of Chris Kirchner's current business should have been a major red flag. Staff wages deferred seven times, 800k owed to the Dallas Hockey team in sponsorship. Given he pissed about with Derby before Christmas and Preston, it seems absurd he was given preferential status.

Apart of me thinks this will go down to the last minute, Mel Morris will not want a stadium without a football club and Mike Ashley will end up getting everything at a reasonable price.

David Clowes has bid accepted for Derby County as Liam Rosenior is put in interim charge

Local property developer David Clowes has had his bid to buy Derby County accepted and hopes to complete the purchase on Wednesday.

Clowes announced his intention to try to take the Rams out of administration on Friday after buying Pride Park from Derby's former owner Mel Morris.

Derby's administrators Quantuma said Clowes, 53, had now been granted preferred bidder status.

The news came as the Rams appointed Liam Rosenior, 37, as interim manager.

Rosenior will take charge when Derby report back for pre-season training on Monday following Friday's departure of England and Manchester United's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney as boss.

Rooney, 36, said the League One club, which has been in administration since September, "needs to be led by someone with fresh energy".

Takeover complete, and the club is out of administration.

Now just the small job of almost completely rebuilding the club.

[Lucas]

Well that rebuild is well and truly underway.

Three signings announced today as McGoldrick, Hourihane and Chester join.

This is on top of Tom Barkhuizen, Joe Wildsmith and Nathaniel Mendez-Liang looking to rebuild his career.

To be fair, they are bubbling along nicely although Rosenier has to get them all to gel still.
