There is no reliable exact rank for Sheffield United’s current owners among EFL Championship owners. The club’s ownership records identify Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, but a 2026 comparison of all 24 Championship clubs does not provide a dependable personal-wealth estimate for either man. Without comparable estimates, assigning them a place in a “richest owners” ranking would be guesswork.
Who owns Sheffield United?
Sheffield United’s accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 say COH Sports Bidco Limited acquired all shares in Blades Leisure Limited on 23 December 2024. The accounts identify COH Sports United LLC as the ultimate parent of Blades Leisure Group and state that it is jointly controlled by trusts of Stephen Harlan Rosen and Helmy Atef Eltoukhy. The EFL’s public register also lists Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy among the club’s owners and directors. Sheffield United’s 2025 accounts and the EFL owners and directors register establish their relevance to the ownership question, not their personal net worth.
Why there is no defensible Championship ranking
Football League World’s 2026 comparison covers all 24 Championship clubs. It uses the ultimate controlling individual where that is clear, distinguishes personal wealth from company assets under management, and uses “N/A” when it cannot find a sensible, reliable estimate. For Sheffield United, the comparison gives no wealth estimate for Rosen or Eltoukhy. Its dollar conversions are dated 25 August 2026. Read the comparison and its methodology.
A missing figure is not evidence that the owners are among the league’s poorest or richest. It means the comparison does not establish a personal-wealth number that can support a rank. An ordinal ranking requires comparable estimates for the relevant owners at a consistent point in time; that evidence is not available here. The September 2026 review of club filings and events likewise underscores the importance of separating club finances from an owner’s personal wealth.

- Sheffield United team name + mock club crest jacquard knitted into both sides, so the scarf reads right whichever way it hangs
- This scarf measures over 5 feet long with soft fringes at either end | Wraps once around the neck with room to spare, or hang it on the wall as a classic Blades collectible
- Hand wash is recommended and ready for cold weather | One size fits adult Men + Women, and it packs down small for the Stadium or a watch party
- Authentic fan scarf, as worn by Blades supporters at Bramall Lane and everywhere | A great gift idea for the Sheffield United fan or the Blades believer in your life!
What counts as an owner’s wealth?
Several figures that may appear in football coverage describe different things and should not be substituted for one another:
- Personal net worth: an estimate of an individual’s assets minus liabilities. It may be published by a named wealth list, but it is still an estimate rather than an audited statement of cash available.
- Company assets under management: assets managed by a business are not automatically the personal property of its owners. Football League World explicitly excludes treating such company assets as personal wealth in its comparison. Its methodology explains that distinction.
- Club or holding-company finances: revenue, assets, liabilities, and other company figures describe an organization, not necessarily the personal wealth of a shareholder or controller.
- Acquisition and operating funding: money available to buy a shareholding or finance club operations is not the same measure as total personal net worth.
One example from the comparison shows why attribution matters: it reports a £1.25 billion estimate for Bristol City’s Steve Lansdown, attributed to the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List. That is a published estimate with a named source and year, not a claim that the amount is readily available cash. The comparison’s Lansdown entry and attribution provide the context.

What the EFL ownership test does—and does not—show
The EFL describes its Owners’ and Directors’ Test as an “eligibility test, not a suitability test.” Its guidance says a prospective owner must demonstrate access to sufficient cash to acquire the shareholding and fund operations in line with a business plan. Those requirements concern eligibility and funding capacity; they do not disclose an owner’s personal net worth or produce a league-wide wealth table. See the EFL’s Owners’ and Directors’ Test guidance.

Rank #3
- Slim fit Crewneck 100% polyester (recycled) AEROREADY Manchester United woven crest
- Whether the figure belongs to an individual, a family, a consortium, or a company.
- Whether it is personal net worth, company assets under management, club value, or funding available for acquisition and operations.
- The publisher and methodology behind the estimate.
- The valuation date and currency, including any conversion date.
- Whether the same basis and ownership date are used across the clubs being ranked.
If no comparable personal-wealth figure is available for an owner, the sound approach is to mark the figure unavailable rather than assign a speculative position.
