For those anti Wilson posters on here, prepare yourself for more of your self imposed misery.
Mark will carry on his mission to improve the reputation of pool and
his quest to bring the Mosconi Cup into US hands.
I think that right now there are five pair of hands that clutch on to
the Cup handles. These fingers could be prised off as players
get invited to join the MC Squad where they can try to stake a claim
for a team spot.
But like before, players will have to subscribe to Mark’s ethical team
philosophy. I think that this will mean that you will not see the return
of many former Mosconi players.
Shane will be able to defend his position and with another 12 months
of competition Justins Hall and Bergman should be able to capitalise
on this week’s experience.
But Mike Dechaine will surely have proved that he understands the
requirements and standards that Mark is seeking.
Skyler Woodward will need to continue to build on his 2014 successes
and could be a contender and other young guns like Chip Compton
and Joey Gray should be getting a chance to shine.
America has plenty of rising stars who can become tomorrow’s heroes
and I believe that is the path that Mark Wilson will follow over the next
few years. His final two public appearances before they embarked for
Blackpool shows just what a positive reaction that his team received.
This year’s team were treated like Rock Stars at the after match
celebrations and they could see a vision of the future when it was
almost mass hysteria with fans wanting to be pictured with World
Champion Niels Feijen.
The 2014 US Mosconi team were only a handful of balls behind the
Europeans but they were critical in settling games.
Another factor that worked against them was that over recent weeks
all the European players had competed under similar conditions at The
World Cup of Pool and the World Pool Masters.
Only Shane from the US team had this priveledge.
Matchroom are satisfied with the investment in Mark Wilson and are
prepared to give him time to develop his plan. It is also gratifying that
most of the more knowledgable posters on this forum are
supporting him.
One thing is for sure – Mark will do it his way.
