What happened. COH Sports Bidco Limited, the company that bought Sheffield United, was placed into liquidation by the High Court on Wednesday, potentially triggering a 12-point deduction for the club.

CSBL owed about £35m on the £100m purchase deal.
Former owners United World filed the winding-up petition.
CSBL had no representation at the hearing, which lasted about 10 seconds.
