Derby County are set for a summer of anxiety as they wait to hear what punishment they will receive after the EFL found them guilty of accounting irregularities. Derby were then cleared of breaching the League's financial rules, but the EFL won its appeal against that decision earlier this month. If an independent panel decide the alleged accounting errors meant Derby breached the League's Profit and Sustainability rules that could lead to further charges and a significant points deduction. It means the cloud of possible punishment will hang over Derby for months to come. Talks with an American consortium are ongoing, and there is interest from a UK-based group, too - but Derby remain tight-lipped on the subject.
