Mike Ashley launches recent assault towards Boohoo’s administration

Retail tycoon Mike Ashley has launched a fresh attack against Boohoo’s beleaguered management ahead of a crunch meeting later this month.

Ashley, who wants Boohoo shareholders to give him a seat on the board, blasted its bosses in an open letter yesterday, accusing them of ‘panic-driven mismanagement’ which was ‘obliterating shareholder value and jeopardising the company’s future.’

He also warned against a ‘fire sale’ of assets

Boohoo said Ashley was ‘seeking a board seat for his own interests’ and that its management ‘is focused on maximising value for all shareholders’.
