Latest of the Ashley farce, as he continues to insist he's not a "pantomime villain". (oh yes he is). No media allowed at the Sports Direct AGM. Questions include: - "why have no dividends been paid in 10 years" - One shareholder just asked - in front of the entire board - "why they can’t find any decent non-executives.." - “why are you obsessed with getting a Big Four auditor?” Mike taking issue with being said he’s “obsessed”. “It’s a tick box exercise, people said I couldn’t get one, I want one now. It’s like having the biggest lawyers. It’s a little achievement as you go through life....." Magpie Group affiliates hand delivered a letter to Lee Charnley's home, asking for an independent audit of Newcastle United's books as per Mike's "promise". Still no resolution in sight. Quote from the Daily Mail in July: "......you can put any accountant on our books and it's whiter than white. I've felt like challenging the fans on that sometimes. I'll pay and you can have an independent auditor come in and review us. But will you please stop saying these things? I'm guilty of a lot, but not that." Excellent article from True Faith which highlights the problem isn't - as Ashley makes out - anything to do with how much individual money he puts in, more to do with how utterly abysmally the club continues to be run. https://www.true-faith.co.uk/mike-ashley-money-share/ I wonder if a day will ever come when we can confine this sordid affair to history?
he is the type of person that wouldn't share his sweets at school and say no with a grin on their face...
