The owners of Sheffield United have reportedly accepted a £115million bid from American businessman Henry Mauriss to purchase the Championship club.
Mauriss is again dipping his toes into football having previously attempted to buy Newcastle Unied for £350m back in 2020. The Blades are currently owned by Abdullah Bin Mosaad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a Saudi prince who purchased a 50 per cent share of the club in 2013. He won a long and unsavoury legal battle with previous co-owner Kevin McCabe to take full control of the club in 2019.
If the deal were to go through it would represent a tidy profit for United's current owner as he was ordered to pay McCabe just £5m when he gained sole ownership two-and-a-half years ago. But where do United's owners sit in terms of the rich list for the 24 clubs in the Championship this season?
