Derby politics takes centre stage

Rams boss Phil Brown has explained that off the field politics are forever in the spotlight.

Brown said, after the defeat of Crewe: ‘It started in the first minute and went on the whole afternoon.

‘We gave a magnificent team performance, we’ve won 5-1 and at the end the crowd were shouting `sack the board’.

‘But since I arrived at the club, I’ve learned there’s an awful lot of politics here.’
