SNOOKER: JOHN PARROTT’S RETHINK ON RETIREMENT
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/vie ... etirement/
Personally I don't see the point. He's made no mystery for years that he isn't putting the hours in practice anymore. He could be an asset to the Seniors Tour. But the main tour?
JOHN Parrott could pocket snooker’s last ever tour wild card for next season if he makes a U-turn on retirement.
Parrott, the 1991 world champion, called time on his 27-year career after crashing out of the world championship qualifiers last month.
But new World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn is targeting Parrott for his sole discretionary pick for next season, before he ditches the policy. Parrott himself has been having second thoughts, with Hearn confident of launching the sport into a new era.
Parrott said after falling off the tour: “It’s fairly certain that I’ll retire. I wouldn’t want to play any lower down. ”
But his manager, Phil Miller, said: “ If there was a genuine offer of a wild card out there, it might be something for John to think about.”
Personally I don't see the point. He's made no mystery for years that he isn't putting the hours in practice anymore. He could be an asset to the Seniors Tour. But the main tour?
