Sheffield United face a serious risk of a 12-point deduction just one game into their 2026/27 Championship campaign after a goalless draw with Birmingham City on Saturday. Reports say the sanction could be imposed if the club’s owners are declared insolvent. The situation stems from legal action tied to the club’s ownership change: in December 2024, COH Sports—an American consortium led by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy—bought the club from Prince Abdullah. Last month, Abdullah claimed he was still owed £35m and issued a winding-up petition against the consortium, with a hearing set for Wednesday, August 19. Sky Sports reports that Rosen could also be barred.
