Ronnie O’Sullivan is puzzled by his inability to feel the affection from snooker bosses.
Ronnie O’Sullivan, a seven-time world champion, has claimed his eighth UK Championship by beating Ding Junhui 10-7, extending his record tally and cementing his place as world number one. However, he has faced a disciplinary process for comments he made on the ‘Macau Five’ situation, which led to players facing sanctions for playing in a big-money exhibition instead of the Northern Ireland Open. The powers that be insist that O’Sullivan is not in harmony with those who run the game.
Rocket O’Sullivan, a former player, has expressed confusion and feeling pushed out of the sport due to a letter he received as part of the disciplinary process. He stated that he will continue playing as long as the team wants him to, but the letter now requests him to consider his future on the tour. O’Sullivan believes he is doing a good job, but the team seems to want him to hand his resignation in.
WST has disputed a letter to Ronnie O’Sullivan, stating that the letter was an open invitation to discuss his future plans and ambitions in the sport. WST aims to work together to continue growing the game and would love for O’Sullivan to continue playing for as long as possible. WST’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Tom Rowell, emphasized the importance of O’Sullivan to the sport and hoped for dialogue with players. A letter was sent to York players to discuss recent disagreements and the terms of their contracts, but only Mark Allen attended. Rowell stated that the letter was an open invitation and that O’Sullivan is fantastic for the sport.
