Subject: Battrick

Mine's a star now.

must have had alot of nets on him to get him to wonderful when he only just turned 19

I've just spent the money I made off one of my bowlers (abuot 7 million odd) on this fella :

Nelson Tailor (59486)

I'm not sure if I've made a huge mistake, although he'll be replacing a competent keeper with competent batting, so it could be argued that he'll improve my side :)

Wow, tidy wages!

I imagine you are not going to be training him...

crikey. i've just noticed that, he's going to bankrupt me.

d'oh !

lmao his wages are double my entire wage bill

and mine, so it seems. to try and counteract that, i've just spent 320k on an extra 10,000 covered seats. any idea how much extra that will give me a week ?

I knew there was a reason that i stayed away from the transfer market.

It gets worse. :).

only 1 of my next 4 league games is at home. and this white elephant is on a 42 day contract.

i'll go on holiday, and if i'm not bankrupt by then, maybe i'll sell him on.

Hmm, the bloke who sold me the high wages wickie reckons that the interest on 2 million + gate receipts should be enough to keep me afloat. So. Which of the following do I need to sell to get 2 million ?

First 3 won't get you 2 million.

I thought as much. Will Bannister ?

2 first season, then 3 for the first half of last season then 4 for the second half.

A 3rd week pull he was with either proficient(or 1 week off proficient) bowling though helped a lot

Will Bannister what?
