Derby are facing the prospect of another points deduction in League One next season as a potential punishment for the alleged illegal payment of player wages.

The FA are investigating reports in the Daily Telegraph that Wayne Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford, secretly paid around £1.6million in player salaries last month in a failed attempt to help American businessman Chris Kirchner buy the club in what would amount to a breach of the governing body's intermediary regulations.

Derby were given a three-point suspended penalty for the non-payment of wages last season and the EFL are now facing pressure from other clubs to impose it, if last month's salaries are proven to have been paid by illicit means.
