Derby's potential new owner Chris Kirchner reportedly met with the English Football League on Tuesday to outline his plans to avoid another damaging points deduction for the club.
The American businessman is aiming to get a takeover done that would finally see the stricken Rams exit administration after almost seven months. According to Sky Sports News, Kirchner told the EFL he has offered to pay non-football creditors 35p in the pound over the next three years. That figure is said to be the threshold for the league's insolvency rules and would be the minimum that has to be paid back in order for the club to avoid a potential 15-point deduction.
Derby have already been handed deductions totalling 21 points this term: 12 for entering administration and a further nine after admitting to breaches of the EFL’s profitability and sustainability rules.
