The deal sees COH Sports take 100% control of both the men’s and women’s football teams, the hotel at Bramall Lane and all real estate.

In a statement, the consortium said the new owners were fully supportive of Wilder and the club’s CEO Stephen Bettis and were confident of providing the right structure for the club to flourish.

Rosen and Eltoukhy, who describe themselves as “honoured and humbled” to have taken over one of the oldest clubs in the EFL, hope to see the Blades back in the Premier League very quickly.

“Like all Blades fans we want to see the club competing in the top-flight of English football consistently, not just on a one-off basis, and we have been encouraged by the strong start to this season,” they told the club’s website, external.

“The team has been performing strongly and we are committed to supporting the management team to continue this progress.

“We want to take this chance to assure the supporters that we understand the huge responsibility that comes with owning Sheffield United.

The club is rooted in the fabric of this great city and our fans are the beating heart who back the team no matter what.

“Our fans will be at the heart of what COH stands for, and we are deeply committed to ensuring Sheffield United is accessible and affordable for our supporters.”
