Who takes priority for payment, the players or the creditors?

why is this not the responsibility of the tv company? I don’t understand

To be fair, she's saying she doesn't understand, which is subtly different to proving she doesn't by spouting nonsense.

Yes, but how many tickets has she bought?

It's a shame it has come to this. Frank Branscombe should be hung, drawn and quartered after being thrashed with a pick axe handle whilst crawling naked across broken glass.

Don't make sense why are the bdo paying for it to be shown on Dutch TV
They should be paying the bdo surly.

If true: simple solution. Say we need payment tomorrow or we walk away after tonight. Eh? Its not the same people broadcasting it this week. Oh. I didn't realise. so in lay man's terms what's happening here? Still not a bad idea for 24/7. Pay 50% now or we down tools. They have to stick to the term...

If Des employed a company knowing he didn't have the funds to pay them then he has committed fraud

Is it fraud if he intended to pay them out of the proceeds of the budgeted ticket sales?

They will have a contract that says for example "payment within 30 days" if they walk they would likely get sued themselves.

I bet 24/7 are shitting themselves now

Good job the BDO brought a top business man in or they would be really up shit creek!

If players only got a jump after winning a game at the Worlds old Unlucky Ross McLoyalty's bollocks will be like a decorators paste bucket!

Transalated, The BDO owe the Dutch company that broadcast the World Masters over 30,000 euros and Mr Selecta has said they can go whistle for it! This could bring the BDO down if it goes to court.

Des wasn't just looking to the ticket sales to pay the players out, he was relying on it to pay the BDO's outstanding bills. Oh dear, oh dear!

I don't think he will resign.. Anyway he's negotiating extra TV tournaments and sponsorship deals isn't he.. and already has tickets selling for the 2021 Worlds.. He's got a lot on his plate..... It's either resign or be forever known as the man (I use the term lightly) who sank the BDO. He will re...

Sick and tired off this scrounging in darts. If its not players scrounging money for Q school its players scrounging for prizemoney. Shameless and embarrasing.
