Derby deny sale
Derby County have denied the club is on the verge of being sold.

Chairman Lionel Pickering is openly trying to offload the Rams for an asking price of between £5m-£8m.

A Midlands radio station sparked fresh speculation a takeover was in the offing but the Rams insisted there was no deal imminent.

A statement released by the club read: "The ownership of Derby County has not changed.

"Chairman Lionel Pickering has made clear his desire to relinquish his controlling interest to an individual or consortium with the club's interests at heart.

"But although talks have been taking place with interested parties, there is nothing further to report at present."
