("Sports Direct" or the "Company")
Media Statement
As reported in the Times and Telegraph today, Sports Direct has
issued a statement in response to Rachel Reeves MP's interview in
the Times. The full text of the statement is below.
Further to the interview in yesterday's Times by Rachel Reeves
MP, it is clear that neither she nor the Select Committee she is so
proud of has any intention of doing anything about the disgraceful
outcomes for independent shareholders, and other stakeholders, in
the Debenhams and Goals Soccer Centre debacles.
Clearly the publicity was not great enough for her to further
her own career and interests, hence she fobbed off Sports Direct's
legitimate request to look into these episodes by calling Mike
Ashley a bully.
We strongly urge independent shareholders who were wiped out by
the incompetence and dishonesty of management and advisors in the
Debenhams and Goals administrations - no doubt including some of
her own constituents - to demand Rachel Reeves MP takes action and
treats these incidents fairly and in the same way she seems to for
those that bring her most glory for her career prospects.
Whilst there continue to be retailers in distress - with the
latest example being Mothercare - Sports Direct currently has no
intention of looking at saving any of these retailers whilst there
is a lack of protection for shareholders/owners, because
unscrupulous politicians are more interested in their own PR than
doing what is right.
