New Derby County owner David Clowes, chairman of £83 million Derbyshire businesses Clowes Developments, has written an open letter after finally taking control of the club. Here is what he said:
“It is with an immense sense of pride that I write to you having finalised our agreement to buy Derby County and end nine months of uncertainty and fear over the future of our club.
"As a lifelong supporter, I could not stand by as the risk of losing Derby County became all too real. I could not have looked myself in the mirror if I had not done everything possible to protect it.
