Former Sheffield United owners United World have filed a winding‑up petition against current owners COH Sports Bidco Limited, claiming over £35m is owed. They also questioned the legitimacy of a recent board update naming 1919 Partners LLC as the club’s parent company. COH Sports and 1919 Partners defended the club’s financial stability and restructuring, while the EFL and Independent Football Regulator confirmed they are reviewing the situation. The dispute raises concerns over ownership practices and the club’s long‑term stability.
