I’ve had a theory for weeks now, that Tommy T-Rex backed Des for BDO chairman because he was incompetent and it would bring the downfall of the BDO leaving the EDO to run English darts without any interference from the BDO.

Basically Des Jacklin was playing the Craig Whyte role

I doubt Tommy is bright enough to be that Machiavellian to be honest.

There are certain behavioral traits which are common to both, along with a similar level of business acumen.

I deleted the thread on original fanatics when tony deleted is (wasn't sure why he did it but I followed suit). Unless tony's post was removed by admin.

Yes, but there's a real danger the WDF will bring a previously unseen level of competence which will be nowhere near as amusing.
