Player are reportedly still waiting to be paid in full for December and so the club are said to be ready to sell some of their star players to cover the costs – Jason Knight and Louie Sibley were outed as the two candidates to be sold off, with Duane Holmes having been linked with Huddersfield Town this morning.

Tweeting on the matter, Sky Sports’ Rob Dorsett shared this update:

Wayne Rooney was set to be handed the permanent manager’s job upon the completion of this takeover. Now with it in doubt, so too is Rooney’s pending appointment and so too is the club’s long-term future.

Contested owner Mel Morris is set to leave the club and if this Sheikh deal falls though then Derby County will be left in a frantic search for an owner.

Sibley looks like the player who will be ushered to Premier League clubs this month – Leeds United have long had an interest in the 19-year-old, who could be the first of many to leave Derby County this month.
