Derby County, managed by England and Manchester United great Wayne Rooney, were relegated to the third tier of English soccer on Monday to cap a miserable season that also saw the club docked 21 points for breaches of financial rules. A 1-0 loss at Queens Park Rangers left Derby 10 points from safety with three games remaining in the second-tier Championship. Derby have been in administration - a form of bankruptcy protection - since September, with the debt-laden club's sale to a new owner yet to be finalised. The club received two separate points deductions of nine and 12 at the start of the season. Rooney has been Derby’s manager since November 2020. He was previously player-coach at the team from central England.
