Derby County’s administrators are confident a deal will be struck with a new owner soon – but admitted there are still issues to be ironed out with the league and over the Pride Park Stadium.
They said talks were going well with US businessman Chris Kirchner, who was recently picked as their preferred bidder for the club.
But they said issues with the stadium would include former club owner Mel Morris – who still owns Pride Park – writing off “substantial sums” owed to him personally.
