Derby County have moved a step closer to resolving a long-standing legal claim with Wycombe Wanderers - as the troubled Rams look to finally pave the way for a takeover.
The two clubs became embroiled in what at times has been a messy dispute, after Wycombe launched action against County following last season's relegation.
Wycombe were demoted from the Championship on the final day of the season after finishing a point behind Derby, who stayed up. Wanderers say their claim centres on lost earnings as a result of relegation.
