New owners say they won't put Derby in red

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.

The General Sports and Entertainment (GSE) group have bought 93% of Derby, and say they aim to make the club a “global brand”, but insist the identity of the consortium who have put up the money for the purchase must remain secret for the time being.
