The EFL Board meeting on Thursday has been called solely to discuss the Derby situation.

After months of discussion and so many parties involved, it does appear, one way of another, we are reaching the end game.

American businessman Chris Kirchner pulled no punches in a public Facebook Live discussion last night.

"The club runs out of money on Saturday," he said. "It is not a date in the future, it is Saturday."

Kirchner believes his proposals will be signed off by the EFL this week to avoid calamity.

Derby has been in administration since September and has already been relegated to League One.
