Derby County have already been hit with two big points deductions - and a third could be on its way next season.
The Rams were docked 12 points after entering administration last September. Then, in November, a further nine-point handicap was handed down after they admitted to breaching the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules over the sale of Pride Park.
Now, a fresh report claims that another points deduction could be on the way next season. Derby, who are currently bottom of the Championship and eight points adrift of safety, have long been in search of new owners. Administrators Quantuma have set a deadline of today (Friday) for takeover offers to be submitted with three parties said to be in contention to buy the East Midlands outfit.
