Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah is holding up the sale of the Blades by refusing to sign off on the £100million takeover. Americans Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy have reached full agreement with the EFL to buy United and it is understood the last person standing in the way of the deal is Prince Abdullah. Multi-millionaires Rosen and Eltoukhy do not need any partners to inject more money and their consortium has the capital to complete the deal. The Blades are level with Sunderland at the top of the Championship and Rosen and Eltoukhy feel the clock is ticking on them helping him. Prince Abdullah bought a 50 per cent stake in United in 2013 when they were in League One.
