Ssb - wpbsa statement

[MySockPuppet]

The WPBSA has released the following statement after today's AGM:

"Following an AGM, held in Sheffield today, at which Sir Rodney Walker, Jim McMahon and Mike Dunn were not re-elected to the board of the WPBSA, and at which no other individual stood for election, the remaining board members, Lee Doyle and Dr Hamish McInnes, will now co-opt further individuals to the board, as a matter of priority. The first such appointment will be a professional player, as governed by the constitution of the WPBSA."

Two points:

1) Why are the WPBSA not announcing the actual voting figures?

2) They'd better not co-opt Peter Ebdon, a player associated entirely with the board that has just been rejected (he stepped down earlier this year with Sir David Richards to save the WPBSA money).

would you be equally as unhappy if they selected steve davis a player obviously on hearn's side

does it work both ways ?

i dont think there is a non biased player now having had theire say in the voting but Steve Davis is blatantly pro hearn

im glad someone else sees that

im all for democracy but there needs to be consistency

you cant say ebdon is ruled out as pro walker but davis isnt ruled out when he is obviously pro hearn

ebdon is ruled out as employed by the academy not because he is pro walker - that is now not important!

any bias should now not matter they put in a guy it goes to an egm where they should then both resign.
