The Apprentice Task 1 - Reading between the lines
by Afro Tue 10 Jul 2012, 9:05 pm
It is preseason and the new rich owners of Reading have decided that Brian McDermott is not the man to take the club forward, and your team have been recruited to oversee the plans that will ultimately see them stay up in the Premier League.
You will find a suitable new manager and have been given £20m for buying players to achieve this target. The cost of player purchases will be those on http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk plus 20%. You can raise further funds through players sales – the price you will receive will be http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk less 20%. Loaning in a player will cost 20% of their TM value. A player who is not contracted, will be free to join you at no cost.
You will present your new manager and squad list (with details on all ins and outs), plus any other innovative ideas you have that will help the quest of staying up. This should be posted on this page no later than midday on Tuesday 17th July.
You will be judged on which team makes the best, most innovative and most realistic choices to keep Reading up.
The teams for the first task will be:
Hero
Nando
Mouse
Cherries
Sodhat
Viva
Olly
Brahma
I suggest both teams set-up a team page each, assign a project manager and pick a team name. I will be watching…

Lord Afrojack, I would be honoured to take part in this process and start up a 50/50 football club.

I'm a big fish in a small pond!
I actually went back last night and watched some clips on youtube, and my favourite quote by a million miles is:
"I’m not a one-trick pony, I’m not a ten-trick pony – I’ve got a field of ponies waiting to literally run towards this"

TBH that'd be a great team to use.
For the other team it would be like getting into a fight with a Dwarf, you just can't come out of it looking good.

If Messi played for Dagenham and Redbridge they'd still be crap, though.

I tried to split the teams as evenly as possible.
One piece of advice, you might want to steer clear of getting Cherries to type the final submission. I like easy reading.
