Derby County: Joint administrators still waiting to confirm preferred bidder

The administrators of Derby County are not yet in a position to confirm their preferred bidder.

Since the deadline on Friday, administrators have been evaluating offers for the club.

They expressed disappointment at attempts to delay and undermine the process.

Derby is currently bottom of the table and eight points adrift of safety and has been in administration since September.

With seven games left in the season, the Rams are trying to avoid being demoted to League One.

The movement on social media for fans to take decisive action was mentioned by Quantuma.

There are serious concerns about crowd safety.

In the event of unrest at the game, which may lead to the game being called off or being abandoned, supporters must be aware that this could severely compromise the club's ability to complete its fixtures for the season, which would lead to English Football League penalties.

The EFL will not be commenting at this stage of the bidding process.

Delays in identifying a preferred bidder are beyond their control.

We continue to work with those who have provided credible interest in the club and have prioritised these discussions over those who have submitted mere expressions of interest.

Derby has been deducted 21 points for entering administration and for violating financial regulations.

The process to buy the club has taken a long time.

The Binnie family's offer was too low and Quantuma ended talks with them.
