Nick Robertson from ASOS

Just read on the a4uforum this quote

Next year we’ll reintroduce affiliate marketing but as it should be, as opposed to affiliates as they were” said Nick Robertson, ASOS CEO. “(There’ll be) no silly commissions being paid to grubby little people in grubby studios growing income at our expense, getting in the way of genuine sales”

I haven’t got my copy of NMA yet although it should arrive later today so I’ll post if there is anything more to go with that unbelievable comment from ASOS (ASC.L)

Update
It’s not going down well in the world of affiliate blogging…
