EFL probes Sheffield United payment dispute

Published July 8, 2026 · Updated July 8, 2026 · The Guardian

The EFL is investigating Sheffield United's owner COH Sports over allegations they created a new parent company to avoid paying £35m owed to previous owner Prince Abdullah.

COH Sports, led by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, bought Sheffield United from Prince Abdullah for about £100m in December 2024, paying a first instalment of £30m. However, they are accused of being late with the second payment and missing two subsequent instalments due this year. fish-roadgame.com

Abdullah's investment vehicle, United World, has issued a winding-up petition against COH Sports in the high court and escalated the matter to the EFL and the Independent Football Regulator, prompting the current investigation.
