Sadly I think it might be a conflict of interest for me to run two separate teams

Ah. Need to scratch your name off the Himannv Hotheads head coach shortlist.

Another twist in the battle for the role of head coach. Hearing whispers Sangakkara is back in the running?

Over my dead body.

We're looking at the experts on CW at the moment. @Red_Ink_Squid is the favourite if you believe the betting sites.

 

[honestbharani]

The Honest Hunks shall consider a change of name (and fortunes) with @sledger as the coach. We will win the sledging wars, at least.

 

[Himannv]

I propose the name Honest Sledgers... or perhaps Sledging Hunks

Sledger's Hunks....

Sledger's Hunks....

So, not HB's hunks?

Excellent. We shall carve out a reputation for ourselves as The Nicest Team In The T20 Auction Draft while subtly but relentlessly trolling all our competitors.

 

[Himannv]

RIS clearly aced his interview.

@trundler @JOJOXI @Fuller Pilch @Pothas @AndrewB

Thanks for the offer but quite busy at the moment. Am keen to get back into some drafting but will probably wait a couple of weeks

 

[Himannv]

We are pleased to inform you all that Himannv Hotheads have made an employment offer to one of the candidates in the running for the Head Coach position. We will keep you informed of progress.

 

[Himannv]

Our employment offer has been accepted! We are pleased to welcome @Red_Ink_Squid to the Himannv Hotheads franchise. He will be starting his duties as Head Coach immediately, so stay tuned.

 

[honestbharani]

The Hotheads are not match to Sledger's Hunks.

T20s are not won by hotheads, they are won by Hunks.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I am delighted to have been given this opportunity to work with one of the greatest T20 drafting franchises in the business. Himannv is renowned as one of the brightest talents in sports drafting and I will waste no time bringing every bit of my own drafting experience* to bear as the Hotheads look to dominate the field. I also intend to introduce some of my own personal coaching philosophy to the franchise, so expect a step up in aggressive, uncalled for sledging of opponents, a selection preference for 21st century Warwickshire players and frequent hot chocolate breaks for the coaching staff.

Hey, find your own schtick. That's ours.

Can we make a rule that you can't have more (leading) bids than your budget remaining?

Agreed. We ccanot bid for more than what we have.

 

[Line and Length]

If we are after team names, make my L&L team "Living Legends" though, in reality, my draft teams are more like "Lousy Losers".
