Opinion: Sainsbury's and Asda executives will benefit from the proposed merger – but it's unlikely anyone else willThe trouble with deals like this one is that it is often hard to find any winners two, three years out with the exception of the executives whose pay packets only ever head in one direction single leaf lettuce Unfortunately we’ll see thousands of job losses as we see greater concentration of power in the retail sector.
