Re: The BDO Unofficial & Unregulated World Darts Championships 4-12 Jan 2020 Indigo at the O2
The rumours of the players getting nothing must be music to Des's ears - seriously. Because when he announces what they are getting - which will likely be broadly what has been rumoured imo - he'll be painted as a genuis for securing them something, anything. Which ingores, of course, that the winner is getting less than a quarter of last year.

Pretend there's virtually no chance of an event going ahead, and proclaim yourself the saviour when you cobble something together at the last minute to be held in a dilapidated former cinema somewhere in the darkest corner of in the valleys.

Just to let people who need to know THE PLAYERS you will all receive a letter with the prize breakdown.Also a letter will go out to all Counties & Country`s.Just to put Player`s minds at rest the statement off Oche Balbao is 100% fabrication and a Blatant lie to cause trouble.

You are just happy that they switched away from WInmau and so the new boards are getting some stick as well...Edward Lowy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:45 pmBeen living the life of a Trappist monk since about Jan 2nd as words keep failing me ....markymark wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:21 pmDo any board members of the PDC make statements like this?

Apparently he's not doing Des' dirty work because Des has a bad shoulder.

Already happening, seeing people saying (and players like deano) if the prize fund is better than the rumoured 50k that came from Dutch sites then des deserved all the praise because it’s better than the rumours.Murphio wrote:The rumours of the players getting nothing must be music to Des's ears - seriously.

great tactic that folk often fall for. They do it in politics when someone doesn't do as bad as some are thinking but have still done bad.Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:22 pmAlready happening, seeing people saying (and players like deano) if the prize fund is better than the rumoured 50k that came from Dutch sites then des deserved all the praise because it’s better than the rumours.Murphio wrote:The rumours of the players getting nothing must be music to Des's ears - seriously.

Anyway: can't remember which thread it was in but what about that business meeting des had with some generous business folk? making the winnings £50,000? I am sure wayne d said it happened.

Rob Maul of the Sun on Twitter stating that Jacklin "said last week on record: "I don't have to pay anybody at all until the 2nd week in Feb""
Ah, so he sticks to the contract on that point but not others then

Probably common knowledge but been confirmed all players had to pay their own way this year in terms of hotel and travel, no expenses.
Could be one or two losing money who went.

Yes. Was not happy that Des had told his Management that he was in the GSOD.
Bdo will say the announcement last week made the playing contracts void and everyone had a chance to walk away. No money and no contract enforceable means nobody gets paid

It’s on BBC Wales Today. The reporter spoke to Jacklin on the phone who said that the players would be played. When the reporter asked how much Warren was going to be paid, Jacklin hung up the phone.
