Derby County's players have been reassured that they will all be paid their full wages on time this Friday, despite the delays in the latest takeover of the club, Sky Sports News has been told. Friday is the first pay day since an agreement for the sale of the club to Spanish businessman Erik Alonso. Sky Sports News has been told that the current owner, Mel Morris, will again honour the £1.2m total wage bill for the players this month, but he is reluctant to continue to do so in future months.
