The billionaire founder1 of Sports Direct demonstrating the improved security check his main warehouse2

Check now turn to you,most confess your pocket into the grill3 so far.

Casually4 taking out the wallet a 50-pound notes, in a place you see payment does scrutiny5, for zero-hour contracts and paying below the national minimum wage. 

a little cash

yes frankly6, you're seeing that.

This one time occlusive Mike Ashley was all smiles with cameras, while leading journalists and investors7 on a rare tour on the Warehouse floor, pointing out the changes he’s making after a series of scandals surrounding paying conditions. 

“But when you ask me my sorry, so I said ‘yes, I’m sorry’, I mean I’m sorry.”

But the company’s investors want changes at the very top management, 53% voting for the chairman Keith Hellawell to go. His position is  only safe because Mike Ashley, the majority shareholder8 wants him to stay.

“Keith Hellawell knows my strengths, he knows my weaknesses, and we are beginning to learn some of the company’s weaknesses together. So we are gonna fix it. Please give us 12 months to fix it. What difference is in 12 months? We’ve done some good work in 90 days -- so let’s do some fantastic work in the next 12 months. And if we failed? I’ll be stood here, he would be stood here in a year’s time, facing your TV cameras, saying: ‘I’m sorry. I got it wrong again’. When is this ever going to end.“

Despite the overwhelming opposition9 from shareholders10, Mr. Hellawell says he’ll only quit this time next year if investors are still unhappy.

“You represent investors at Sports Direct. We suppose yesterday you were planning to vote against the chairman Keith Hellawell. How did you vote and how did you feel with the result?”

“We believe it’s time for Keith Hellawell to step down.”

“And what if it doesn’t happen?”

“If it doesn’t happen, you know, we only have so much power, and what we can do is to use the power as much as we can and seek to influence the board.”

For the most part of the day, Mike Ashley was engaging under apologetic, trying to show how much he cares. But there’s still one big issue that needs to be addressed. And that’s the 4,000 agency staff the working site this Sport Direct Warehouse who are not benefiting from some of the measures to improve working conditions.

“Would have slim employ done more effectively,zero-loss contract for an unacceptable. And the proposal to transform them to direct employment like you tell their mom, minuite 20 at a year, we still we're trying froeign people.”

Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley is still under pressure to make real change, but he says he’s confident he can turn it around. All he needs is a year.
