I don't think it's 'the end of snooker as we know it'. It's an unfortunate thing that probably goes on in most sports. Why Stephen Lee thought he needed to do it is beyond me - he had a proven track record on the baize (fair enough, he had not won a title for years, but that is kind of besides the point) and he wasn't struggling for money. I guess it's all about greed when you peel away the layers.

End of snooker as we know it??
hahaa
Deserve a totp nomination for that post alone Alan, very good.
fwiw my tip for next years event is Robert Milkins e/w available @ 150/1 with skybet.
Another fat guy, loads of cue power and natural talent, ice cool under pressure, and doesn't run out of steam after 3 frames.
Beat Robertson in round 1 this year, went out in round 3 I think.

Jimmy @ 1,000/1 for you again Alan?
It's such a shame. He was - is - a good player.
