Robinsons? Whats going on

[Toby_Zaphod]

Sports Direct's usual method is to buy older well known brand names,'Slazenger', Dunlop, Lonsdale & once they own them they are perfectly entitled to embroider the brand name onto any cheap & nasty shirt they buy in. I fully expect Robinsons to go that way. At the moment the stores are full of rubbish but you wait, Mike Ashley the owner will buy well known equine brand names who have been out of favour for a while or possibly gone out of business. He'll then have the old respected brand name embroidered on inferior quality merchandise & be selling it in Robinsons. He's a sharp businessman, he didn't spend millions on Robinsons to let it fail, he'll send it the same way as Sport Direct & make another fortune.

This, exactly.
Also, shouldn't we be boycotting Sports Direct (and Robinsons) for the appalling way they treat their warehouse workers?
