Newy an existing franchise, are today entering the market to be sold via receivers KordaMentha, according to Shane Mattiske, on Reddit. Was it not for sale beforehand? Mattiske went to the Gallop/ Townsend school of bullshitting

Mattiske went to the Gallop/ Townsend school of bullshitting "Today, the Club has put the past behind it" I must've been wrong to include them in the Poll, sorry to whoever it was that voted for them

Mattiske went to the Gallop/ Townsend school of bullshitting Previously they were for sale in the same way that all clubs are for sale. There wasn't a 'for sale' sign out the front, but it but if the right offer came along they would sell. The difference now is that there is an official 'for sale' sign out the front and they are actively engaged in a formal process to sell the club. Semantics, but hopefully it leads to Newy finally having good owners, or at least owners willing to spend.

If Ross Pelligra has really been outbid by his mate Robert, maybe Korda Mentha can keep him interested long enough Remember they could've probably have sold the Jets to 777, but MV were so deep in the shit the APL got 777 to bail them out instead.

The Jets' licence is one of six the A-League have been trying to sell in 2023, with the Glory's sale being shopped alongside an expansion process that aims to grow the league to 16 clubs by 2025-26. Sounds like a buyers market to me ...... Havent heard much about the $25 mill expected price lately, maybe they are hoping they get more if they go to auction?

Appears the process has now been formalized. Good to see there 's a number of parties involved

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67280027BBC Scotland has learned the billionaire owner of Bournemouth is looking to buy a stake in Hibs. American businessman Bill Foley took control of the English Premier League side last year. It is understood he has wanted to invest in the Edinburgh club for months and has held initial talks with a view to making a non-controlling investment.

Because they give all their money to the AFL and the Giants, and ultimately any Canberra A-League team will be tenants of the ACT Government, they need to know how much they can rort.

"It is understood more than half a dozen bids were received, but receivers have remained coy about the details of the deal and how much Sage is likely to recoup.
The APL has previously claimed licenses issued for its expansion into Auckland and Canberra could go for up to $25 million.
But sources close to the deal have suggested the club would need a sustainable, well-funded entity to take the helm, with an up-front payment and ongoing multimillion-dollar investment required.
Meanwhile, a bid to have liquidators appointed to Sage’s company Okewood Pty Ltd by creditor Kakka Enterprises is continuing on the basis the company is allegedly insolvent.
The entity, which lists businessman Kenneth Keogh as its director, is purported to have a small stake in the club.
Sage is also still contesting allegations of tax evasion levelled by the tax office, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and the Australian Federal Police.

Perth Glory can confirm that the club’s potential new owners, the Prime Land group-led consortium, were unable to satisfy certain conditions precedent to the sale transaction and the conditional sale agreement has subsequently been terminated by the Receivers, KordaMentha. KordaMentha are continuing to work closely with the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and will re-engage with other interested parties to secure a buyer for the club.
Glory CEO Anthony Radich is confident that the resumption of the sale process will yield a positive outcome.
“Although this news is disappointing, this development is completely out of our control as a club,” he said.
“While not being privy to the exact details behind KordaMentha’s decision, we have complete confidence in their handling of the sale process and trust that they and APL have acted and continue to act, in the very best interests of the club.
“We are heartened by the fact that multiple bidders expressed their interest in buying the club during the sale process and remain optimistic that a new prospective purchaser will identified in the near future.
“We would like to thank our Members, fans, corporates, players and staff for their continued support throughout this sales process period.”

+xWhy didn't they buy it from Sage ? WA govt chucking a heap in now, but told Sage they're not into that ? Sage said long Covid lockdowns and onerous travel restrictions tipped him over the edge, whilst welcoming the WA State government commitment to provide $7 million of support over the next five years to Glory, once the ownership issue is finally resolved. “I just wish they’d shown that courtesy to me but it never happened until the licence was handed back (to the APL who will continue to fund the club until a buyer is found). https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/its-a-travesty-sage-laments-collapse-of-perth-glory-sale-602341
