C'mon boys. We were pwning everyone in the post count, apart from TT, and that was simply because the Tanks were selling everyone they had. But it's time we get back to our spamming ways!


So on that note -

The 8 people who post the most from now till the first game will make the starting XI!


Begin!
 
...


Damn it.


Oh well, I wasn't going to do that anyways :p


Still need some activity here. Who do you think we should sign at the NT draft?
 
Well...not really at you, but why the hell not :p

Haddin's a good pick. I had an eye on Sanga as well.

I was also thinking about snaring a decent allrounder - Jaya or Yuvi would be a decent pick.

And as for batsmen/bowlers, someone like Clarke or Marsh, and Shakib/Mendis. We need a spinner mainly.

It all comes down to how much Chez and I can afford really. There might be some measures taken to raise more cash if need be (Read: Loans/Selling shares in the team), but hopefully we won't come to that. Chennai are our main competition bidding wise, DD are rich too, while I'm sure we can out bit Toronto. And Sydney/VV are Div 2 sides, so they don't matter.
 
Hmm...

We aren't gonna sell the name - that's staying.

Kit sponsors though...I'll bring that up with Chez...
 
Last season I paid several million for the naming rights and the teams were known as the Marmite Manchester Monkeys.
Then WHM decided he didn't like it and bought me out! :D
 
If you're willing to pay several million, then you can name this club whatever you like...
 
i'll pay 2 million to rename this club to Manchester Divided, Man City Suck.
 
Someone is still peeping into this team's thread and saying I am very much impressed with MD and VV threads and both are very tempting to join.. :spy oh well, lets see since I am in draft anyways, I can be picked by any team :D
 
Keep your fingers crossed, and you'll be picked by a championship-winning side ;)



Alright all Man D players, big announcement here:


PRIZE MONEY DISTRIBUTION!​

Boo-yea!

Chez and I have agreed on how this season's Prize Money shall be divided!

First off, 60% of the Prize Money shall be kept by Chez and I. This is in the best interest of the side, as this money will be re-invested into the club (Buying Nats, signing new players, etc.). That means 30% will go to each of Chez and I.

Next, the remaining 40% shall go to you guys!
Based on the number of active members in the squad, each of you shall get a 'Base wage' amount, for simply being a part of the team! This will vary a bit. For example, if there are 13 active players in the team, then each of them shall get 2% of the PM regardless. The remaining 14% will go into the bonuses (as detailed below). If there are only 10 players, then it'll be around 2.5% per head, with 15% to bonuses. The exact values will be announced after the draft and once the squad is finalised. Also, Chez and I do not count as part of the squad for this part, and we do not intend on paying those greedy International players :p
Therefore, if the base wage is 2% a head, and the total Prize Money we won is 10 mill, each of you will get 200,000 vCash regardless of performance. Not a bad pay day for sitting around and doing nothing! :p

Now, the bonuses. Each player will receive a bonus in proportion to how much they have posted in the team thread! We would have done the whole sub-forum, but it is easier to count posts in the team thread. Much, much easier.

It'll be calculated with a formula kinda like this one:

No. of posts made by member
---------------------------------- * Bonus Prize Money
Total posts in team thread

Ofcourse, posts by Me, Chez, and non-Man D members don't count in this.

So, for eg, you made 50 out of the total of 200 posts made by Man D players in this thread, you shall then recieve 50/200 = 1/4th of the Bonus Prize Money.

We believe this is a fair and just way to divide the Prize Money, and we hope to encourage more activity! You have to post for your pay!

No spamming though!

:spy
