Jacklin will JackItIn

Post by Tommy T-Rex »

Its odds on he will walk after the final declaring the tournament a success and leaving whoever takes over with no money, no sponsors and no hope. Whoever comes next will get the blame for bankrupting the BDO while Des rides off into the sunset on his horse

It's either resign or be forever known as the man (I use the term lightly) who sank the BDO. He will resign!

This man is no idiot, please refer to the unpaid bill from 1:1 productions for the world masters that Des won't pay.....his only message back to them, is that he hopes to pay it after the world's

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!

The Dutch production had to incur high costs , transportation of equipment, hiring people and amongst other things a satellite connections. This bill would run into tens of thousands of euros that has not been paid to this day, while Jacklin, after many of reminders, only sends a small message that he hopes to be able to pay after the world's.

Oh dear...

I'm starting to believe that not a single player is going to have any prize money after the worlds. :banghead:
Except from that crowd funding thing, ofcourse.

Maybe Hearn can come in as a white knight and pay the (reduced) prize money pool from a small fraction of the Q School revenue.

As Hearn said: they are f**ked.

And why on earth would he do that? He is running a business not a charity.
