Nottingham Forest's East Midlands rivals Derby County have been the subject of a £1 million claim by the interviewer of George Clooney amid reported takeover interest.
Clooney confirmed previous suspicions that the 60-year-old held a soft spot for Derby in an interview earlier this week. Money Monster co-star and Derby-native Jack O'Connell was the driving force behind getting the Oscar-winner interested in the Rams.
The American actor addressed the club's "problems" in the interview with DerbyshireLife released this week. “Derby has a great football club with a fantastic history, and I am sure there is a great future too,” Clooney predicts. “I know that there have been problems in recent times, but nothing that cannot be fixed.”
