A-Leagues Melbourne property tycoon Robert Brij buys Perth Glory

Melbourne-based property tycoon Robert Brij has won the race to buy Perth Glory after Tony Sage was forced to hand back the licence in July amidst ongoing financial woes.

Glory was placed into receivership three months ago when Sage stepped away after 15 years as owner.

The Australian Professional Leagues unveiled the Primeland Group-led consortium as the new owner of Glory on Tuesday.
