The former Derby chairman Mel Morris has invited Middlesbrough and Wycombe to take their claims to the high court against him personally, in an attempt to remove a major obstacle in the financially stricken club’s attempt to secure a new owner.
Morris has proposed to take on the liabilities facing Derby for gaining an advantage at their rivals’ expense to ease the looming threat of liquidation. The Championship club, aided by the sales of players in January, are thought to have enough cash to cover the remainder of this month.
