Silly me and the lack of derivative thinking before lunch!
That would mean that Manfred will pull 2 events next year? Or it will be Laurents second show?
Cya
Neither, I think Niall may well be manoeuvring in that department !
In itself, this is not such a bad thing since there is now one less maverick on board and Niall is able to impose on the first event the same standard as Campaign.
So if over time, the incompetent and blatantly self-interested promoters are weeded out leaving the best to promote the six events, no matter how many are actually left, this I don't see as a problem as long as there is some accountability to the players and industry along the lines of a European players federation completely independent of the Millennium.
That way, the Euros get a high quality tournament series that Laurent / Niall, Magued and Manfred have all shown they can do...and they don't get too far up their own ass without having the federation pulling them back on the reins.
I don’t give two sh#ts how much money they earn but don’t take me for some sort of mug and give us all a series that at the very least respects the players and vendors and is value for money.
