Mike Ashley has threatened directors of Goals Soccer Centres with a boardroom coup after they rebuffed his efforts to hire an investigator of his choice. Mr Ashley had demanded that independent advisers at Kroll be appointed to look into the accounting errors, which are estimated to be worth £12 million. But Goals said on Wednesday that it was continuing talks with HMRC over the blunder and had already engaged “forensic accountants” over the issue. Goals confirmed earlier this week that it has hired advisory firm Deloitte to assess future options, which could see a sale of the listed firm.
