Crazed vCash Billionaire Biggs, made wealthy by his investments in the burgeoning Cat Litter industry, has announced today he wishes to purchase the flailing, terribly named and overall underachievers "Amigos Cricket Club" in the mid-season break, rename them The Hugging Muffins™ to reform, re-energize and reinvigorate their current standing in the elite PlanetCricket Premier League.

Horrified by their shocking debut, the no-hopers, the "Amigos" beset by investor confusion and infighting among their team now struggling to return any investment to their board or results on the field, Biggs has stepped up, along with silent partners @SnowyCasanova* and @blockerdave* along with his slighty more vocal business partner @Epic to form The Hugging Muffins Cricket Club™ in efforts to bring repute, honor and regular baking to the pitiful club.

"We're not looking to create drama" a wild eyed Biggs said at the press conference, whilst silently mouthing 'yes we are' "...We simply saw an opportunity to turn a club around, and spend a little bit of time in Photoshop on a fairly quiet weekend and thus The Hugging Muffins™ were formed". Asked whether or not they had the financial means to continue to pay players and see out the current contract period on retained staff Biggs waved his hands effeminately, simply replying "nothing is guaranteed, this is simply an offer at this point, now where's the cake, I specifically demanded cake at this press conference..."

Sadly, cake was never found.

No time period was specified for this attempted take-over to conclude, sources inside The Hugging Muffins™ camp expect answers to all this and more sometime early September.

Corporate overloads, Dunkin' Donuts have approached the Hugging Muffins to secure a lucrative sponsorship already for their non-existent team.


Situated at the beautiful "Muffin Top Cricket Club" the Hugging Muffins will train equally on the field and in the kitchen, spending time perfecting their baking and bowling, both core elements of the modern game.



Sponsorship through Nike was secured with hugs, not handshakes. An online shop is planned for their fans to purchase hats, replica cricket shirts and underwear to show your support, pants on or off, for the Hugging Muffins.

* So silent, they didn't even know about their investment until this post was made. That's how we roll at the Hugging Muffins™

Dragons co-owner opposed to Muffin takeover; differences of opinion on baked goods blamed

IceAgeComing, one of the three main stakeholders in partly successful PCPL franchise "The Nine Dragons", seemed to oppose the planned takeover by the "Hugging Muffins" consortium of struggling PCPL franchise "The Phoenix Amigos" in an interview this morning. The consortium, led by the mysterious @Biggs, emerged in response to consistent off-field in-fighting within the leadership of the organisation organisation, which many have blamed for their poor on-field performances. This was not helped by rumours that a leading figure was considering his future with the club. An attempt was made to interview Mr Biggs at their announcement press conference this morning, however he spent the entirely of the interview shouting about the location of various baked goods.

On being interviewed after leaving a rather shabby Glasgow night club, IceAgeComing said that the proposed deal "probably wouldn't be good for the league, I guess. I personally feel that Krispy Kreme is better than the crap company that is sponsoring them. I mean, I can't really say - they haven't bothered to tell us how we are doing in the T20 league!". He then threw his Chips and Cheese over our journalist, before falling over trying to run in the opposite direction. Main owner @The Author refused to comment.

Crazed vCash Billionaire Biggs took the PlanetCricket Premier League by storm earlier today announcing the formation of the franchise The Hugging Muffins™ in a violent takeover of the lagging, lackluster "Amigos" franchise. Scrambling began from all quarters, with the co-owner of the Dragons, the so called @IceAgeComing attempting to block the takeover in comments made earlier today. Batshit and bored vCash Billionaire Biggs immediately responded; "Who?" ...then quickly winked and said "Look, Ice is a top bloke and I have respect for how he's running 'The Dragons' but he has no place getting his fingers in my Muffin business". In what we can only assume was a euphemistic statement, he further babbled on "We have some huge announcements still to make surrounding this franchise, including these brand new The Hugging Muffins™ T-Shirts available for purchase now from our fan store".

This reporter promptly purchased all three, and can also conclude it's the softest cotton to gracefully lay across my shoulders ever.

As the groundswell of support continues to grow rapidly around The Hugging Muffins™ crazed Billionaire Biggs has announced they have secured Sachin Tendulkar as head coach, should their mid-season bid go through.

In yet another glitzy, pastry-fueled affair, Biggs and Mr Tendulkar stood on stage and answered questions from the media. "I'm a cricket fan, I'm a baking fan... to join The Hugging Muffins™ it seems like a natural fit" Mr Tendulkar affably answered, biting into a coconut slice. When asked about his fee to be retained as a potential coach for The Hugging Muffins™ media were told no official payments have been made but rumours were that donuts were included as part of the deal.

"He's one of crickets greats" Biggs went on "he's that guy you turn to when you want to get a team back into the winning column..." CEO and media manipulator Biggs said "he's also that one that plays the hellicopter shot, right?".

Sadly, Mr Tendulkar does not play the helicopter shot.

Reaching out to The Hugging Muffins™ expansive media relations team, we're told the Helicopter shot will come in a patch to be confirmed after the mid season break.

Amigos are ready to handover.................

Sodium, one of the main stakeholders of "The Amigos" gave his comments regarding this matter during the press conference of the team's hattrick loss in ODI series.

He added "We are the debut franchise with owners themselves making debut in PCPL. It is better that we will have some idea about the league in this season and make a comeback in the next season. Though, we have not yet received any offers from The Hugging Muffins™ we are ready to hand over the team franchise to Biggs if the PCPL Management allows us to do so"

Phoenix Bros said that if the PCPL Management allows us for this, then we will have our team put up in the auction so that we can retain our vCash which we invested to buy this team.

Crazed vCash Billionaire Biggs has rocked the PlanetCricket Premiere League this weekend with his attempted takeover of dysfunctional "Amigos" franchise. Franchise owners officially disavowing public support of their own franchise not withstanding, we've learned the insane mogul was furious upon hearing from PCPL Management that:

The Hugging Muffins can only be allowed in the next season. The franchise cannot be handed over in the mid season.

"Where are the rules that deny such a purchase?" Biggs furiously yelled at a hapless reporter. "They're just making this up as they go along and I for one, will not stand for it" he shouted, then sat down. Spokesman from the Hugging Muffins later confirmed that he has recently had issues standing because of the amount of muffins and donuts at these press conferences and his inability to stand at the time was unrelated to his fury at the blockaded takeover.

Never the less, accountants for the The Hugging Muffins™ issued this public authorized cheque to the Amigos franchise owners despite PCPL managements denials:

​

"I think you'll find this offer more than satisfactory" Biggs wrote on the back "and there's more where this came from if you leave the fridge full of beer"

Rumours are now mounting that @SpitfiresKent is bankrolling this mad Billionaire from the background.

@Epic, @blockerdave and @SnowyCasanova were all unreachable for comment or cash advances.

Crazed vCash Billionaire Biggs came running into the near-empty press room, with just a few stragglers remaining, stuffing left over donuts into their goody bags. After an event-filled day at the PCPL The Hugging Muffins [trademark denied] are to announce three new shirts have just been made available to celebrate the team being too hot to handle in the current PlanetCricket Premiere League. The powers that be have said that:

Whatever will happen, it will only be after the season ends.

"...so why not wear your support of the underdog" Biggs yelled into the microphone "the peoples champions and the team nobody wanted but by god did I get up and give them it anyway" he shouted until the power was switched off.

The remaining press interns confirmed the power was switched of due to unpaid powerbills.
