EXCLUSIVE Interview with Barry Hearn

[ADR147]

Michael

I can tell you first hand that it is not an either or option, IMG will be delighted to work with Barry on taking this forward, this in effect give the best of both worlds as the 25 events will still form a part of the circut, and will be in place as additional ranking events are developed.

PatM

correct - if their is a chance to have 15 ranking events aswell i am sure hearn will try for that - the idea behind is simple as much snooker as possible!

[ja.]

just had a text from ali carter.

"yes i will be voting rod off, get hearn on there the game needs a shake up."

just had a message from waldens camp.

"we want zippee from rainbow to be the chairman"

honest.

hope those who wanted a different opinion are pleased now

[ADR147]

i hope that means he will be voting to get rid of walker - how exactly he will get zippy in i am not sure!

[superaussie]

walden seems intelligent so he will be voting rod walker

no in

[ADR147]

walden seems intelligent so he will be voting rod walker

you must be mad - no right thinking person is going to vote for walker. as it stands the board is hopeless in every way.

running at a loss,
lining their own pockets,
giving themselves all the contracts regardless of the highest bidders,
paying themselves more and more despite the players earning less and less,
taking commisions they should not have ethically,
making promises they never keep,
denying us our freedom of press,
oh and hemorrhaging sponsors!

all in all Robert Mugabe would be proud to run such a tight ship. now put down the beer and keep out of the sun.

according to dave hendon both camps say the vote is close so plenty of players must be voting for rod

[ADR147]

well i say the vote will be against walker. there you go i will be the first to call it.

and the moral of the story here could be 'don't deny the snooker forum our press pass!'
