My immediate reaction. Is that it? Where's the vision? Where's the ambition?
Both by what has been said, and what hasn't been said (China, Saudi Arabia, everywhere outside the UK), snooker appears to be taking the direction of managed decline.
And yet snooker doesn't have to become a parochial tribute act wallowing in nostalgia, rigged to protect an ageing elite, pandering to the BBC.
The tragedy for the Crucible traditionalists is that the further WST proceed along this self-defeating path the easier it will become for an entrepreneur (Chinese?) to create a financially viable alternative structure.
And then what would the tour look like?
