Rams Bid Accepted

David Clowes bid for Derby County has been accepted and he has announced his intention to take the club out of administration by the weekend. Clowes has already bought the club's Pride Park stadium and loaned them the money to begin the season. It is believed that his bid meets the criteria to prevent further points deductions, meaning all football creditors will be paid in full.
