Mel Morris’ Derby are under pressure from Middlesbrough
Gibson is believed to be angered with Morris for selling Derby’s home ground, Pride Park, for £14.6million and leasing it back.
But Morris, whose Derby side take on Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final on Monday, which is LIVE on talkSPORT, insists Derby have not broken any rules.

Steve Gibson is unhappy with Derby
He said: “When I raised that at a meeting in March, the representative from the club said it was allowed in the rules at that time.
“So is this! What is different? You set the mould and we copied your lead, now you’re bi******. He [Gibson] had the hypocrisy to do that.
“Even his own fans called it out on their forums and said ‘how dare we do this with our own history’. We discussed this issue again in April and there wasn’t a single vote against, including from their own club!
“They didn’t even vote for their own motion. It is absolutely hypocritical. I didn’t write the rules.
“They had the gall to say to us this is not right. Absolutely unbelievable. Those things to me are just insane.”
