Snooker owes those two the biggest scandal it ever had to face and it could have been a killing one under the old board. Fred Done came forward right after the facts saying he trusted Hearn to put it right ... HEARN. I doubt he would have done the same for Sir Rodney.
Sonny I'm almost certain you read snooker scene and so you know that Ronnie was misquoted and didn't actually called snooker boring and he didn't say snooker needs Cowell, he said snooker needs someone of the type of Cowell with a mind for entrepreneurship and entertainment. That's not exactly the same thing innit?
eirebilly wrote:I am sorry Mon, Murphy is one of the least supported players on the tour (a lot of fans actually despise him) so if you think for one second that he would not have been hounded for doing the same thing as Ronnie then i feel your admiration of Ronnie has clouded your judgement. This can also be seen by the way you think that Ronnie was the catalyst for change in snooker. Please try and put your admiration for Ronnie aside and look at this in a unbiased manner.
Ronnie has never been the most diplomatic player on the circuit but it should be remembered he donated the high break prize to charity.It has to be said that he is absolutely correct there should be a special prize for a 147 break the public love it and in front of the T.V camera’s there are few players in the game capable of achieving it, also how many times have you seen a player taking on a more difficult shot just to keep the dream of a max alive. When it comes to playing the game Ronnie is one of the best sportsmen around never in a million years would you see him ask the Ref to dock a frame because his opponent forgot his chalk Murphy did so against Maguire also Ronnie creates headlines for the game and that is important ok some people may not agree with what he say’s however he fills venues something Shaun does not do.

It suddenly didn't dawn on others that the game was in trouble because of a few comments by Ronnie in 09. Mooney was the one who approached Hearn and again this was not because of Ronnie comments. The opportunity came with Walker putting himself up for renewal of tenure and others took it full blooded.

WHY the bloody hell was it only after a derangeed rant of 1 man people have done something about it
holy poo snookers future was hanging by the thread of one man talking balls ...... don't know about anyone else but that's scary.
it was common sense something needed doing ive said it on forums long before Ronnies Rant as has many other people but it seemed everyone in the Game was blind as a bat until Ronnie Opened it for them.
jesus that is scary we got thick people running snooker.
