Chief Marketing Officer Eyal Sanoff walked out last week with mumorings that the whole episode may have amounted to constructive dismissal and that Hills want Playtech out of the WHO joint venture.
180 of the staff in WHO’s outpost in the Middle East walked with around 20 people turning up for work yesterday. This was a reaction to Sanoff’s departure, a man that, according to an anonymous source on the ground, “Always had their best interests at heart and the fact he’s gone means they’re unsure where their future lies.”
Add this to rumors that the premises may be shut and you have yourself quite the powder keg. We asked our man on the inside what he thought was the reason behind all of this and he confirmed that William Hill “seemed” to be attempting to cut Playtech out of the joint venture the two signed back in 2008.
Some people might have speculated that this would eventually be the case and our anonymous source inside William Hill Online seems to have confirmed this by saying “its very much a ‘them and us’ situation” and that “in essence it’s a form of land grabbing.”
The term land-grabbing is defined in some places as “a usually swift acquisition of property (as land or patent rights) often by fraud or force.” The quote above is extreme to say the least and there’s no suggestion there’s any truth in this. If Hills are being a little bit devious then it’s no surprise that the staff are reacting like this. As it is, the legal terms of the agreement don’t allow the 71% majority shareholder William Hill to oust Playtech from the agreement until late 2012.
