Barely two years ago Tony Sage hit a low, losing control of Perth Glory soccer club. Now, thanks to Trump, he’s facing an open goal in Greenland and Ukraine.
Not even two years ago, Perth entrepreneur Tony Sage hit what was surely the low point of his 40-year professional career: he had to relinquish the ownership of A-League soccer team Perth Glory, after the club’s finances hit the skids.
