Should Terry sell the Phoenix?
- WCC Watch
- Interesting piece in this morning’s Dom Post with an opinion from Councillor John Morrison that Terry Serepisos should start his climb back from financial woes by selling the Wellington Phoenix… Mr Serepisos has made it clear the Phoenix is not for sale, even though he has proposed in the High Court an “orderly” sale of assets he says are worth $232m to repay debts of $203m.
