Bruce, this is Richard Murray. Richard, this is Bruce. Right, pub anyone?Covered End said:
So Rick has told me that they were introduced to at least one staff member and other staff members have confirmed this.Chizz said:
Each other.ShootersHillGuru said:shirty5 said:
How exactly does this square with the “new owners” being introduced as such at the training ground ?
Who to exactly ?
As we wouldn't want any member of staff getting into any trouble, it's probably best to leave it there and no I don't know any names.
Bruce's PA, Sheila, was also there.0 -
I've accepted that the players are much younger than me.
I've come to realise that that now applies to the managers.
But now it's the bloody owner!24 -

I met Mike Cannon-Brookes (very briefly) once while touring Atlassian’s awesome SanFran headquarters and I have his email. I just left him an email message mentioning the rumour. I doubt I will hear back if anything is actually happening but if it’s blatently false, maybe I will. We will see. Honestly, given the slowdown in tech the last two months, I would think he would have other things on his mind than turning around a League One football club in England.8

Smalltime.HardyAddick said:
His up to date net worth is 5 billion USD apparently.Henry Irving said:Rumour from someone in Australia that the money is someone called Mike Cannon-Brookes who made his money in IT software.
Said to be worth £906m in 2006.
Can't reveal my source obviously.
Cannon-Brookes, just sell the club!6 -
Would be great of course, but the words "mega rich" weren't mentioned in relation to the 30 something. It also said he was involved in Aussie sport, which as far as i can tell he is not. His name was just mentioned as an example of the few very wealthy people in Aus.CAFCDAZ said:
