Derby County owner: Club owners with funds for six months are acceptable

Mel Morris says that when there are a number of unanswered questions – due to both coronavirus and the EFL-case – it is natural that potential buyers are reluctant to strike a deal.

The Derby owner calls the situation at Charlton Athletic a “nightmare” – but says there are no clear answers on how to keep financially weak owners away, as they always look strong in the first place.

Morris says it is difficult to find the true long-term owners in the market. And he thinks that one must never underestimate owners who can undertake quick turn-arounds.
