The takeover saga at Derby County rumbles on after Chris Kirchner withdrew his bid to buy the club.
The American had been courting the Pride Park outfit for months but after repeatedly missing deadlines to get a deal done, he has now killed off any lingering hopes. The club's administrators, Quantuma, who have been in situ since September 2021, are now concentrating on a clutch of other parties interested in buying the League One club.
A spokesperson on behalf of the joint administrators said: "We're aware some will be concerned by this news, however, the joint administrators wish to reassure the club's staff, players and supporters they are continuing to actively engage with a growing number of interested parties, each of whom have a real willingness to complete a deal as soon as possible."
