Davies escapes police action
Police have confirmed they will be taking no action against ex-Preston North End manager Billy Davies despite receiving an official complaint about his behaviour at the weekend.
Derbyshire Police said it received one official complaint from a North End fan that the former boss gestured towards the away supporters after his Derby County side scored in the 1-1 draw with his old club on Saturday.
A spokesman also confirmed "several other away fans" had made comments to officers on duty at Pride Park at the weekend.
He said: "Mr Davies received informal advice from Derbyshire Police at half-time during the match. There is to be no further police action regarding the matter."
The Scot, who quit North End in the summer taking his entire backroom staff with him, accused the visiting supporters of chanting "filth" at him during the game and described their behaviour as "appalling" and "absolutely scandalous."
