'Down but not out': Derby County fans react to club's relegation

Derby County were relegated to the third tier for the first time since 1986. US businessman Chris Kirchner was the preferred bidder to buy the club earlier this month.

Derby County were relegated. The club is in administration. Wayne Rooney is the current manager. Supporters gathered outside Moor Farm training ground on Monday to cheer on the players. Chris Kendal drove back from the match feeling "really happy for the future of this football club". The prospective owner Mr Kirchner tweeted he was "buying the right club with the correct fans". The Second Tier podcast host Ryan Dilks said relegation was inevitable. He was feeling a range of emotions after it happened. It was like having a tooth pulled out. Derby remain in the administration, where they were placed by former owner Mel Morris.
