Manchester Monkeys - Team Thread

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I still have no idea how getting players will work, so once I know how much money I'll have to spend paying players I'll work out what I will pay. But at this stage I'll say that I will split any prize money evenly between players (as opposed to the 1% being offered by some), and have bonuses of some variety based on performance.

Oi! Don't point at me!

Unlike you, we are 3 managers, a sponsor with a big share, and other stuff. In total we actually spend 15% for players and 25% for sponsors.

Marmite Manchester Monkeys welcome first signing
The Marmite Manchester Monkeys are hoping that their new signing MS Dhoni can put in a good spread of performances as the wicket keeper.

Purchased for 700,000 vCash, MS Dhoni was relatively cheap compared to some of the Million vCash plus players. However Monkeys' management believe that he is a bargain at that price for what he adds to the side in terms of the batting/keeping combo.

Owner Whitehornmatt had this to say about the signing -

Overcoming the seemingly low stocks of available keepers in the PCPL was always going to be a challenge, but with the signing of Dhoni, there is both a fantastic keeper and a quality batsman. The other clubs will regret not bidding when he starts whacking them around Monkey Park.

Matt, who is your captain?

 

[MattW]

Me, as I've pointed out in about 3 threads now .

He's trying to prevent that...

I'll pay to be the captain of your team if Ralphy will through me.

He had his chance to get me to go to the effort of finding someone else, but he okayed it in this thread and I don't see why it can suddenly change.

I would love to join the Manchester Monkeys!

I would love to join the Manchester Monkeys!

I will be happy to join here.

I'll be trying to get you both in the draft (whenever that will be, at this rate I'd be shocked to see a match take place).

Your thread is at bottom. Do you guys fear banning by WHM if you post.

Well there isn't much to talk about.

 

[Kiko_97]

Yeah, who have we got so far?

 

[MattW]

Just Dhoni, I wanted a few out of the second tier but the prices were way too high, I think the money is better spent on paying players than bidding for international stars, I'm guaranteed 2 out of the 3rd tier (as that's how the math ends up), so should pick them up cheap.

New team sponsor to add some spice. The umpires support charity "myopic muppets" is now sponsoring the team.
