US software entrepreneur Chris Kirchner will become the new owner of Derby County at the end of this month.
After months of discussions and obstacles to the sale, Mr Kirchner – the co-founder, chief executive and chairman of global logistics software provider Slync.io – has finally exchanged contracts with the club’s administrators Quantuma.
Mr Kirchner has made it clear the deal is subject to former Rams owner Mel Morris selling the Pride Park stadium, which has not been part of the ongoing administration, but saw no reason why that wouldn’t happen.
