Mike Ashley 'vomited into fireplace at pub meeting'
Sportswear tycoon Mike Ashley once hosted a management meeting in a pub where he drank 12 pints and vomited into a fireplace, a court has heard. He claims Mr Ashley often held meetings in pubs, and at one time promised to pay him £15m if he managed to increase Sports Direct's share price to £8. Mr Justice Leggatt was told the dispute between Mr Blue and Mr Ashley related to an alleged conversation in a London pub called the Horse & Groom in 2013. "Mr Ashley then vomited into the fireplace located in the centre of the bar, to huge applause from his senior management team." Mr Blue said he first met Mr Ashley while working for Merrill Lynch in 2006.
