Phil Taylor described BDO chiefs as "sour-faced crab apples" after they turned down a £1million buyout from the PDC.
The Power would like to see organisations united
Phil Taylor says British Darts Organisation chiefs do not deserve the £1million that Barry Hearn has offered them.
In October, Professional Darts Corporation chairman Hearn offered £1m to buy out the BDO and pledged to pump a further £1m into the grass roots of the sport.
However, BDO head Olly Croft dismissed the offer as "a cheap publicity stunt" and was not willing to combine the two organisations or end the split that has divided professional darts since 1993.
PDC world number one Taylor, who is managed by Hearn, admits he would like to see the creation of a single World Championship.
But he was glad the BDO turned down Hearn because he does not believe their chiefs deserve such a big payday.
He told
skysports.com: "I'm quite glad they said no because I think we can spend £2million on something else.
"Put it into tournaments as prize money rather than giving it to those sour-faced crabapples.
"The players are okay, but it's the officials. You'll find in any sport that it's the people that don't play that cause all the trouble."
Row
Taylor, who won the first two of his 14 World Championship titles playing in the BDO, was among the players that helped create the new organisation in 1993 following a row over a lack of sponsorship and prize money.
And he believes unification would ultimately be good for the BDO players because the sport's finances would be handled better by Hearn.
"I would love to see them joined together," he continued.
"Then there'd be one World Championship and it would cut out all the nonsense about who's the best and who isn't.
"Also, Barry Hearn would create a good league for them, he'd plough money into the game - as the BDO don't - and it wouldn't all be whittled away as it is now. There'd be more prize money and more sponsorship."
Profit
The PDC claims they made more than £1m in profit last year, compared to the £16,000 they say was earned by the BDO.
And Taylor dismissed the business acumen of the BDO and suggested they are not qualified to run darts at the top level.
He continued: "The BDO committee is like a working men's club at the moment; one's a plumber, one's a bricklayer, one's on the dole. They're not business people.
"Barry Hearn's a different class, he's my manager so I've got to say that, but he is.
"I've been with both organisations so I know what work Barry does and what they do.
"They don't even come close to lacing his boots."
