Manchester Divided - Year 2009

[MattW]

Out of interest, have we got any internationals? Or are we holding off and picking up the scraps for cheap? I've looked through some of the bid threads, but haven't seen any successful ones yet.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nope, no one yet. We could afford some of them, but it would take out a large chunk of our budget, and we want to be able to afford 4 players. Hopefully I'll talk to Chez today, and we'll settle once and for all how much we can spend on each player. We do intend to get 4 players, for the balance of the side. A keeper is a must, and a bowler, AR, and batsman all would be handy.

Might as well take this chance to as Giggity to post up an image of the logo you want.

 

[Kiko_97]

Here is the logo I want. Cut the background but keep in the red layer.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Okay. Done. Send the cash to Chez.

On that note - ATTENTION ALL MAN D PLAYERS!!!

Have we got an offer for you!

In order to raise funds for NT bidding, Chez and I are selling our names to you guys! All you place a donation, and the highest donor gets to name us! If we have 2 donors, each of you get to name one of us. 4 donors, and each of you get 1 part of 1 name (So two of you get to name me, and two of you get to name Chez).

Be generous. Every unit of vCash goes to getting some great Nats and will probably go to you too, and ofcouse naming your bosses will be quite a treat!

So come on, loosen those purse strings and get bidding!

Oh, and I also need a volunteer to help me run a few practice Simulations, so I can get a good idea of the different pitches work with different playing XIs. Cricsim doesn't work on my comp, so I'll give you the lineups and stats and pitch type, and you just need to sim it an send me the scorecard.

 

[Jaztheman]

I would bid for it, and may do, but lost a little bit on Villa today so may not be able to. We'll see how this week is for me in vBookie.

Challenge has begun. Come on MD!

 

[Skater]

I will start with a bid of 500,000 vCash for one of the names.

 

[Kiko_97]

Right i'd bid but I own shirt sponsorship rights and S4C Chwaraeon

 

[RoboRocks]

I would consider bidding but I'll get beat by the millionaires!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I'll donate 75% of my vCash, since it's rotting away anyways.

(It turns out to be 2,250,000)

 

[Skater]

In that case then I am out of the running since I only have just over a million.

 

[MattW]

Okay. Done. Send the cash to Chez.

Special offer! Send me the money instead and I'll change their actual usernames. Bidding starts at 5 million!

I've still got my old Manchester Monkeys team sim folder, so I can do this if Jaz decides he can't be bothered.

 

[Jaztheman]

Go for it, Matt.

Also if my two big bets come in, in vBookie, then I could probably spend 500k-1mil on a name.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Great! So Pak can put it 2,250,000 towards both name. That's 1,125,000 bid for each name then.

Skater, you can still bid. It'll just be added to the above.

And I'll send you what I'd like simmed in a moment WHM. Thanks.

 

[Jaztheman]

Nice to see the money being put forth. Hopefully we can buy some decent internationals, on the cheap.

 

[Cricketman]

How long can I change a username for?
