meeting over... stand by for EGM

[JanieWatkins]

so you now have two proposals on the table.

First from Barry Hearn, second from Lee Doyle, along with John Davison, Brian Barwick and others.

Barry told the meeting you can vote on mine and if you don't like it then you can have the alternative proposal

[goldengirl]

Where can you find details of other proposals Janie? And does BH mean Me & my proposals or the other without me. Mind you I assume the other proposals would not include BH.

Thanks for being there and sharing with us, Janie.

I wasn't there. I am the PIOS but I kept in close contact with people there

The other proposals haven't been published to the public domain yet but I'm sure they will be soon.
Barry has been invited to be part of those plans, but I can't see him accepting.
He's sticking by his proposals and that's what the players will vote, at the EGM, to accept or throw out. If they throw them out then the alternative proposal can be voted on.

The 51-49% was changed slightly in Barry's proposal. Originally it was 51% Barry, 24% other partners and players etc. Today it read 51% Barry, 49% wpbsa

god I can't put in words how nervous I am. This is about Snooker's future...
Any news about the second offer? (Lee Doyle, John Davison, Brian Barwick) What does it propose?

[ferret]

Everybody I spoke to coming out of the meeting are all for Hearns proposal, transcript of the press conference up later but for now I have to run and catch a train.

The few people who I have spoken to before today who had doubts no longer have doubts, was good to see so many players turn up and also disappointing to not see those who didn't like Ronnie, Jimmy, Hendry etc

[snoopy2608]

the fact there is a counter offer to Barry's is good news for snooker and I suspect Barry too as the source of the new offer is connected to Rodney Walker (as part of old regime) - and probably less trusted than Barry is........

[Trophymad]

no news anymore? C'mon, throw us a bone here, please!

All I can say is that 95% of the players was in favour of the Hearn takeover.
Barry was good in answering all the questions fired at him. Lee Doyle said about this other proposal but why has it took 4 years on the board and 6 months off of the board to come up with it?
It's Barry for me and good times ahead for snooker I think!
