Sheffield United faces possible points deduction after owners’ company wound up

Summary

Sheffield United is at risk of a 12-point deduction following the High Court winding up of COH Sports, a company linked to the club's American co-chairmen Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy. The legal action was initiated by former owners United World, who claim over £35 million is owed from the club's sale. The winding up was completed quickly in court, with further implications for the club's ownership regulations yet to be determined. Sheffield United, after finishing 13th last season, began the current season with a Carabao Cup win and a draw against Birmingham City. They are scheduled to play Swansea City this weekend.
