Peter Ebdon;

I would be the first person to congratulate Barry Hearn if he introduced new tournaments and revenue to the game, and then take a healthy commision, I dont think anyone would complain.
But to ask for 51% of the commercial rights is too much. There is going to be a meeting and I'll be very surprised if the players give up their control of the association.

We all want to play in more tournaments.

Barry Hearn is a successful businessman,he is a very intelligent man and a very shrewd man and I would love him to do a fantastic job for snooker.

The players need to understand, that giving control to Barry is not for one year, this is not for two years, this is not for five years,this is not for ten years, it's forever gone.

I've only got one vote, it's up to the members at the end of the day.

Time to worry boys and girls. This could be closer than we thought.

Higgins will destroy davis



Yea Allen will come through easy enough. I would love to see him play Maguire in the QF's, there could be a lot of aggression going about that match.

thing is he sees it wrong ....he wants to have control as a player but what are they doing with control ? Jack rubbish only endless arguing and voting and generally cocking it up.

Lets move on from the Gentlemen Club mentality and get professional.

Higgins arguably needed to play his best at that stage last year and look what he achieved ... Every match is vital to perform in from here !

Higgins had to do it last year. I also think Robbo has a better change of beating John in a best of 25 and Selby Ronnie...than say best of 33

Higgins will spank him, and most of all, Davis will enjoy it :afro:


Oh yeah, Davis aint going to win. Be nice if he makes the score respectable.

But like you say, at Steve's age, it's good just to see him get to the second round. He'll enjoy being out there, competing with one of the best in the world at the moment.

I'll be honest though. Despite Steve not exactly being Speedy Gonzales... Or even Regular Speed Gonzales on the table, who can honestly say they'd have preferred to see Higgins vs King?
