If your info is correct that that's got to be an incredible meeting for the future of the BDO.
Re Des. I think he can't lose. If a successful outcome is achieved he claims the victory and becomes the man who turned around the BDO's fortunes. If a 'bad' outcome' then the blame will fall on the previous board (and especially Sue who is still on this board!). Des will claim he couldn't save the situation that he had been left with.
TV is obviously key. Folks have said Potter will o0nly stump up the prize fund if on a major channel. maybe. But if on a minor channel he may offer, say, to pay 50% of prize fund. It may not be all or nothing with potter 9thus BDO only stumping up half of what they have contracted themselves to do.
Hot Potatoes: the very best of Devo.
