ПОЧТО?!?!?! Рон, зачем ты так с нами?.. как жить дальше?
News filtering through from the Grove Leisure stable that World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has decided to make good on his desire to take some time off from competitive snooker.
The Rocket has issued the following statement via their website today:
“I have decided not to enter any tournaments for the time being including this year’s Premier League and forthcoming WPBSA ranking events”.
“I have not signed the player’s contract as I feel the contract is too onerous and am in a stage of my career where I don’t wish to make this commitment”.
“I still want to play snooker and visit those places around the world such as China where snooker is enthusiastically received and adored”.
“I hope to remain involved in the sport in some way in the future”.
Whilst it is too early to say goodbye to the Rocket, his failure to sign the players contract will presumably exclude him from any events until he does.
The statement will no doubt be taken with a pinch of salt by some but it is the first time anyone has come out with a direct statement saying they will not abide by the existing WPBSA terms and conditions.
Maybe this time, he really means it….
