The EFL believes the “very future of Derby County” is under threat after an apparent lack of progress made by the club’s administrators, Quantuma.

Derby have been in administration for five months and the EFL says it is “deeply concerned” over the lack of information regarding Quantuma’s proof of funds for the remainder of the 2021-22 season or its preferred bidder.

Quantum had said earlier on Wednesday that the joint administrators were “currently considering bids” for Derby and it hoped to name a preferred bidder “shortly”.

An EFL statement on Wednesday read: “The EFL notes the statement issued today by Quantuma (Derby County Administrators) but remains deeply concerned at the lack of any form of substantial progress in respect of the outstanding matters affecting the club.

“Despite requesting an update almost 48 hours ago, there has been no communication from the administrators with correspondence and calls from the EFL going unanswered.

“As a result, the EFL still has no further information on the preferred bidder status or evidence of funding until the end of the season and has advised the administrators that the lack of progress on these two critical issues, amongst others, is threatening the very future of Derby County Football Club.

“The EFL has once again written to the administrators requesting an immediate response to its questions so that the necessary and outstanding clarification is provided, not only for the league, but also for the benefit of the club’s other stakeholders, including its supporters and the local community.

At the end of January, the EFL gave Quantuma a one-month extension to provide proof of funds. On February 28, the EFL said the administrators had not yet done so.

Quantuma’s statement earlier on Wednesday said: “The joint administrators of Derby County Football Club are currently considering bids for the club, following deadlines set for offers at the end of last week.

“Further requests for clarity from prospective purchasers have been sought and we hope to be able to name the preferred bidder shortly.

“We are aware that everyone connected to the club wants to see its future resolved as soon as possible.

“Our duty is to ensure we secure the best long-term outcome for Derby County and we are working hard to achieve this objective.”

Following Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat by Cardiff City, Derby remain 23rd in the Championship table, eight points from safety having been deducted 21 points for entering administration.
