Sheffield United ended a worrying week with a gritty performance as Callum O’Hare came closest to finding a winner in a goalless draw at Swansea City.
The Blades are still waiting for a first Championship victory – and league goal – of the new campaign, but there were encouraging signs as Swansea were stifled in their opening home league fixture of the season.

Sheffield United could incur a 12-point deduction after the company used to buy the club was placed into liquidation by the High Court on Wednesday.
COH Sports Bidco Limited (CSBL) agreed to purchase the Championship club for just over £100m in December 2024 but about £35m was still owed on the deal.
A winding-up petition was filed last month against CSBL by United World – the club’s former owners.

On Monday, United World issued a statement in which it claimed the creation of 1919 Partners LLC was “an attempt to avoid paying CSBL’s creditors”.
It added that since the winding-up order was issued no offer has been made to settle the debt and that Rosen and Eltoukhy are “trying to take the club without paying for it”.

Brooks joined Sheffield United’s academy at the age of eight and made 96 senior appearances in all competitions, scoring
Sheffield United have announced a reshuffle of their coaching staff which has seen the arrival of former Manchester United and England defender Phil Jones and the departure of long-term assistant boss Alan Knill.

One of the things Leeds United do well is look after their own.
I’ve spoken to ex-Leeds players who speak highly of how often they’re invited back to Elland Road. They’re looked after. They’re put in a position to engage with fans, who love seeing their former heroes.
During Dejphon Chansiri’s ownership of Sheffield Wednesday, that didn’t happen at Hillsborough. It was a frequent talking point.
