                                Directorate Change

Sheffield United plc (AIM: SUT), the football, property and leisure services
business, announces that its Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fenoughty is leaving
the Club, effective immediately.

Simon Capper, aged 41, will join Sheffield United's board of directors as
Finance Director, with immediate effect and will assume all of Mr. Fenoughty's
responsibilities. Simon is currently Finance Director of United Scarborough
Estates, the Club's property joint venture with Scarborough Property Company
plc.

Simon qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1994, and, prior to joining
Scarborough he worked at DCDM, an accounting and consulting firm that
represented Andersen Worldwide, working from offices in Zambia, Malawi, Kenya,
Tanzania and Botswana.

Kevin McCabe, chairman of Sheffield United, commented: "Simon is an experienced
accountant and, having worked closely with him in conjunction with our property
joint venture and at Scarborough Estates, I know that he has the right skill
sets to help take the Club forward. I am therefore delighted to welcome him to
the Sheffield United team.

"Simon's first task will be to finalise the financial planning for the future of
the Club, including a strategy to plan for our potential relegation to the
Championship, which is still very much in dispute. We remain committed to a full
challenge to the FA's recent decision and are confident of the Club's future,
both in its on pitch and off pitch activities."
