Minority owner Phil Murphy insists he isn't selling his stake in the Brisbane Broncos Limited (ASX:BBL). "It's not for sale," Murphy protested on May 06, 2021. Murphy's commitment to the club came after The Australian revealed a firm had been exploring interest in his 21 million shares in the Broncos. Murphy said he didn't hire the firm. But he confirmed he had been approached himself over selling his stake - his 22% is valued north of $10 million given the shares are worth 49.5c. News Corp, publisher of The Australian, is the majority shareholder. Told it was bizarre that a company was sounding out interest in his stake without his knowledge, Murphy replied: "Lots of things are bizarre. I have had approaches over time. But no, they are not for sale." The Broncos are enduring one of the most difficult periods in their history and Murphy has been critical of the way the club has been run in recent times.
