Derby fans have reacted with anger and heartbreak after their club formally entered administration on Wednesday. 

The Rams, managed by former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, have been given an automatic 12-point deduction under EFL rules, sending them to the bottom of the Championship table. 

They also face the threat of an additional points deduction as a penalty from the EFL relating to irregularities in the club's accounts, with owner Mel Morris bearing the brunt of criticism from supporters on social media.
