Goals Soccer Centres hit back at Sports Direct on Friday after its major shareholder confirmed that it would vote against the reappointment of the entire board due to a “loss of confidence”. Sports Direct, the company owned by Mike Ashley, owns 19 per cent of the five-a-side pitch operator.
It said in a statement earlier on Friday that due to a “lack of transparency” over accounting errors, it would seek to oust all board members. It also reiterated calls to appoint independent investigators at the company.
