Rams crisis could come to a head this week

Malcolm Christie could be knock down sale item

Reports in a Sunday paper have hinted that Derby County Could face administration if they can not find £8-10million by the end of this coming week (30th Sep-7th October)

Monthly wage payments are due and the £500,000 installment for Lee Morris is being taken out of parachute monies from the FA and Premier League that the club should have received after relegation from the Premiership last season. So the Rams have to come up with more cash to quiten the creditors or face certain administration if the money promises are not forthcoming.

Adding to the rumours are reports that Derby County are ready to sell their star players at knockdown prices. Malcolm Christie,Mart Poom Chris Riggott and Danny Higginbotham could be promised to clubs before the January transfer window opens, if the clubs are prepared to put money up front for the required player.
