Derby’s American owners have vehemently denied allegations they have yet to invest any money in the club.

IF Robbie Keane’s ambitions are realised, and Tottenham do end the season with two new cups in White Hart Lane’s dusty trophy cabinet, it is clear the club’s physios will be as crucial as their coaches.

Derby’s new American owners have promised not to drag the club into the same financial turmoil that has engulfed Liverpool after securing the club in a £50m takeover.

Derby have confirmed the US-based General Sports and Entertainment (GSE) group as the new owners of the club.
