I'm sure he can find a couple of chancers who, for a small retainer plus commission, can find sponsors for him.

‘Martin Adams is the person we should be looking at to be in charge of the BDO,’ Tony Martin told Metro.co.uk. ‘He’s got the contacts in TV, he’s also good friends with [Lakeside owner] Bob Potter, get it back to Lakeside, and Martin’s a player, he knows what players need and want. ‘I spoke to players in Italy, you’ve got an answer there with Martin, sitting in front of you. He’s got the TV contacts, he’s respected, he knows all the people in and out of the game, people would trust him. But the current board’s there, you can’t just say “give us a job.”

I have spoken to a few BDO lads about Martin. They were all in favour of him taking charge.

Now that they have bitten the bullet and slashed prize money the whole thing becomes more viable. So long as people arent expecting a new board to put it back up again then now could be a fair time to take over. Adams may well be able to to find a couple of smaller scale sponsors . People would certainly talk to him.

But they would probably talk to Bobby Davro, or Simon Weston, or John Bercow.

Essentially, ANYONE but Jacklin.

Okay then Sweaty Head, who would you hire as head of the BDO? And what would be your strategy?

Wazza having a meltdown.
Des Jacklin: ‘People say the BDO can’t compete with the PDC, but that is the biggest load of crap in the world’

God rest Alf Garnett and Prince Phil.

I used to love cycling but unfortunately I know a man who doesn’t like cyclists. :roadrage:

Not at all.

Still, surely Sweaty, the Nantwich Nincompoop, etc should say what the BDO should so? Instead of whining behind their keyboards and not adding anything of note to the debate.

They should hire a new Chairman who is a successful businessman with a plan to be more professional and who can promise to bring with him new sponsors.

if you cannot pay your bills or prize money for past events, you won't have the money to hire anyone - check indeed, see what a relevantly qualified person would cost and try advertising for one who will only take commission payments if they can both polish and sell turds as well as make money trees

two hopes, one is long dead and the other has well fucked off, game shot and match as the caller might say

Ah, TSW. Took over from Westward.

As an aside...seen the video on Youtube of Southern TVs final broadcast? Was the same night Westward went as well. Fek me, what a way to go out.

I believe he has had dealings with a cameraman. Or something.
