Sheffield United released a statement today confirming that the EFL has approved COH Sports’ bid to take over the club.

The news comes after months of speculation as to whether the current president would step aside. There have been mixed reviews of his tenure since he acquired the club in 2019.

Overall, the jury is still out on what this will mean for the club, as COH Sports has no experience in the sport.

Steve Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy announced on behalf of COH Sports: “We are pleased to have secured approval from the EFL and thank them for their thoughtful engagement in the process. 

They also said they were delighted with the rapid completion of the takeover of Sheffield United and are looking ahead to the January transfer window.
