Yes, we do disagree. Emily is an exceptional event producer and manager, a confirmed workaholic who has been very successful in bringing pro pool to every corner of the globe.
She has done nothing but make bad decisions, and lots of them. Matchroom only continues to run because they have a lot of money to throw at it, and because the team around her is able to keep it mostly going in spite of Emily and all her horrible decision making, and make no mistake about it, it absolutely is in spite of her and not because of her.
This is just another in a long list that could be made about all the ways she has shown gross incompetence and made horrible decisions. Marcel is legendary for his own incompetence, not little mistakes, but legitimate total incompetence. Obviously Emily hears about it every time he makes another massive mistake because it gets widely discussed everywhere and the whole pool world hears about it. Even if he is not a direct report employee to Emily, when your head referee is so incompetent that the whole pool world talks about it, over and over, for years, it is an Emily problem. When you head referee is so bad that it literally affects the fairness and outcomes of your events, often, it is an Emily problem. Period. And years later she still hasn't solved the problem. That couldn't happen for that long if anybody with any competence were in charge.
One would be hard pressed to name anything of any significance that Emily does or has done well (that is due to her, not her team), but her incompetent blunders continue to pile up one after another as time goes by.
Oh, and have you ever heard about the purple five ball?
