ROS: Saudi shill or snooker ambassador?

Closer to shill than ambassador.

But, who knows with Ronnie? He talks so much garbage that saying he loves this tournament might actually be his genuine opinion. He's always on about big money opportunities, and this is certainly one of those. And as Manty pointed out, such is the affect on his ranking that winning this will give him choices to pick and choose what other tournaments he enters without having to worry too much about the ITV events either.

It wouldn't amaze me if they'd brown enveloped him to suck up to the Saudi tournaments. It also wouldn't amaze me if it was just more superb snooker analysis from the man who once said Power Snooker was a better tournament than the World Championship.

It doesn't paint him in a great light, put it like that. But a lot of stuff he says makes him look a bit of a div, let's be honest.

That was hilarious tbh

He can. Hence why there’s an option to vote so.

It’s hard to imagine otherwise. They’ve procured Ronnie for a decade, which was probably always a key priority. Big names make the whole charade much easier to pull off.

Hot take.
