Derby County's long and protracted takeover saga is finally over after David Clowes completed his purchase of the club.
The deal by local businessman and lifelong Rams fan Clowes brings to an end the club's nine-month stint in administration. During that time Derby have been operating under a transfer embargo and two separate points deductions, totalling a handicap of 21 points, ultimately led to their relegation from the Championship last season.
Supporters are now looking forward to a fresh new chapter after more than 18 months of turbulence on and off the field. Last week saw Wayne Rooney walk out as manager following 17 months in charge.
