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

• Prince Abdullah's United World is seeking £35m in outstanding instalments.
• The petition was heard in London and lasted around 10 seconds.
• No lawyers were present for the club's new owners.

The club could face a points deduction in the new season if the liquidation affects its status.
