Hearn unveils blueprint for future of snooker

Barry Hearn has revealed plans which would see his Matchroom Sport business take a controlling interest in the commercial side of snooker.

Hearn's blueprint for the future of the sport contains the recommendation that a new business should be set up to buy World Snooker Ltd, the business arm of the World Professional Billiard and Snooker Association, for a nominal £1 fee.
