Derby County's administrators Quantuma are hoping to acquire a short-term loan to pay staff's wages for June. And it is hoped the cash will also enable the Rams to sell season tickets and also sign players for the forthcoming League One season. It is not clear how Derby would be allowed to complete transfers particularly as they remain under a transfer embargo. Former Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is still interested in the club, while former Derby chairman Andy Appleby is a strong contender. "The EFL and Quantuma have held daily meetings," he wrote in a letter to Derby fan groups.
