Problems for Phillip Cocu and his Derby County. The number seventeen of the Championship is struggling with a financial deficit and has not succeeded in paying out the December salary. That reports The Daily Mail.
Derby County is about to sell a share package to Duet Group, but the process has been delayed for unclear reasons. The result is that the players still waiting for their December salary. The intention was for the club to pay on New Year’s Day.
Mel Morris, owner of Derby County, has assured the players that there will be a solution in the short term. Probably the situation will be straightened out on Thursday. Morris has reportedly invested more than 110 million euros in Derby since its acquisition in September 2015.
The salary news comes at a nasty moment for Derby, because Wayne Rooney is going to make his debut against Barnsley on Thursday evening. That is now being overshadowed by the unpaid salaries. It is unclear whether Cocu has actually received a payslip.
