Snooker bosses asked Ronnie O’Sullivan to think about his future.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is once again at odds with the World Snooker Tour. In a letter from snooker bosses, O'Sullivan has been 'asked to consider his future within the game' as part of an ongoing disciplinary process.

The Rocket has been in trouble with the authorities because of his comments on the 'Macau Five' situation earlier this season. O'Sullivan hit out at the World Snooker Tour for preventing players from participating in an exhibition in Macau while the Northern Ireland Open was taking place in Belfast.

The World Number One revealed to the BBC that the letter he had received was "not very nice" and that the bosses had asked him to consider his future within the game. He said he felt he had done a lot of good for the game, but all he got was letters saying he was doing this and that wrong.

O'Sullivan was not part of the Macau Five - Mark Selby, John Higgins, Luca Brecel, Ali Carter and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh - but he had backed the players in their calls to be able to play exhibitions while WST events were taking place. The WST threatened to take action against them if they did so and eventually the Macau event was moved to December.

The Rocket opened up about his relationship with the powers that be in snooker on the Stick to Football podcast, explaining why he tries to avoid engaging if he can. He said he doesn't want to do anything for the World Snooker Tour because they have given him "zero over the years". He was adamant that he won't reach out to them again because he knows their culture isn't for him.

O'Sullivan said that he believes the other players should be treated better and more fairly, and given better formats and structure. He added that he is not prepared to give the World Snooker Tour "every little bit of his body" so he decided to do his own exhibitions around eight years ago. This way he can still compete and show that he is still around.

The great Ronnie O'Sullivan is now into the last 16 of the UK Championship this week. He has been one of the greatest contributors to the game of snooker, but it looks like his relationship with the World Snooker Tour is only going to get more tense.
