Sheffield United faces possible 12-point deduction after company liquidation

Sheffield United could face a potential 12-point deduction following the liquidation of COH Sports Bidco Limited, the company that purchased the club. The High Court's decision on August 19, 2026, concludes that CSBL has an outstanding debt of approximately £35 million. A winding-up petition initiated by former owners United World led to the court ruling, and while the football club's day-to-day operations remain unaffected, the implications for the EFL's disciplinary actions are still under review. The EFL stated it would assess the situation further, considering the transfer of club shares to a new company, 1919 Partners LLC, which complicates matters regarding ownership and outstanding debts.
