Domestic and International cups appeal.

Numbers entering the international and domestic cups will decrease. There are 9,076 in the Grand Mountain Cup. That is £9,076 Managerzone have made. Of course, this will be distributed into wages, domain name, bandwith, and such to keep Managerzone running.

Benefit of cups, pre-modified
  • You had a decent turn out. I got 775 at one point which was a nice income.
  • The chance to turn £1 sign-up into glamorous prizes.

Disadvantages of less spectators
  • Less income on match days.

I can't bear to think how the numbers entering cups will decrease. I can only anticipate the crew will concede and give every nation a domestic cup to make up for the lost numbers.

The crew are correct. I shouldn't have to pay to be successful. Look at Chelsea, days away from administration, whisked away by a Russian businessman - An anology for the mafia. ;-) No skill has been involved in Chelsea's relatively short-term 'success' of attracting players because it's come from an 'oil tycoon' (Tax dodger and drugs baron more like!)

I propose the sign-up system is modified. Instead of having to fork out £1.00 a go for cups, we should pay with our MZ assets. £50,000 will be an adequate figure to sign up. Just like in the football league how they pay a registration fee to play in the domestic competition, cups and leagues.

If we decide to sign up for a cup, £50,000 (or the equivalent abroad given the exchange rates) will be taken out of our clubs assets to pay. We're not using out national currency from mobile phones to make money, but taking a gamble by taking it out of our team.

Consequently, the prizes will become a lot less glamorous. Infact, possibly non-existant, and a sufficient prize to me would be a hefty earner £500,000 for a cup win would be nice.

Of course, the only income for the crew to fund Managerzone would be from; Mz live / analyser; Friendly leagues; new members registering. With no Grand Mountain Cup, Managerzone would have been down by £9,076. That is just one cup. From all the nations, and around two cups per month, I would wager the income would be near £75,000 for the crew.


You decide

What would you want?

1) A much more balanced system where members like Hooper are restricted to making a mockery of the SMS system. Erm, I mean, club income. :-D Consequently, the prizes will be a lot less glamourous and the crew would need to find an income from elsewhere.

2) An inbalanced system where members can sign up for friendly leagues, cups, and also use the challenge system to make quite an income which is used to buy players, expand the capacity and facilities at your stadium and so on, paying £1.00 a pop at the cup, but receiving glamorous prizes.

What do you think?

Yes, but the change has been made, and there is very little we can do about it except boycott the cups, which will not happen.

Would you rather pay £1.00 from your mobile phone, or pay (the equivalent of) £50,000 from your Managerzone team.

To be honest, I would rather pay £50,000 from my team to enter a cup. That would give me an extra 49 seconds on those dirty phone lines. ;)

In Australia you can only pay for friendly leagues and cups by Credit Card and I dont have one so I would definitely rather pay Managerzone money out of your teams finances rather then your own finaces.

The change hasnt been made, and some of us staf have managed to get crew to reconsider and look at other plans on how to sort out the problem.

Good point, but I can't decide, I'm more interested in finding out what Jonny Hooper did!:D
he used loads of free text messages to join cups and play challenge matches, basically cheating Crew out of £1000s.

this is an excelent idea. wich i proposed some time ago. using mz money to pay for oficial cups. but i dont think that the crew will make it possible. not all of us have money to spend on this game.

Cheers
