Rob turned down $7 million so he is  off to Aus to seek $4 million Got to be true

Fact check:

1. We know for certain that there has been a $7m concrete offer for the club? yes/no 

2. The closer to the date that the club might lose its license, the value of the club increases? yes/no

3. One of the club owners has recently publicly stated that he wants to sell the club? yes/no

I think you should look at what Morgan said again, he said he's a reluctant owner and the club is up for sale the same way that every club is up for sale. He clarified that point a couple of times. For the right amount of money every club in the league is for sale, he then highlighted some of the big money deals like Manchester City buying Melbourne Heart and the Chinese consortium buying Adelaide.

What he didn't say is he wants to sell now to move the team to Australia, and in fact all the examples he gave were of foreign owners keeping teams in their home towns.

I have no doubt what he said is true and while it was ill advised it in no way contradicts the stated reasons that Welnix bought the Nix, in fact it backs them up because he said they don't want it to fold because they bought it to stop it from folding.
