In a hilarious piece in the Wisden Cricketer KingCricket elaborates why he isn't a big fan of IPL teams. Chiefly, because they are businesses first and sporting clubs next. Sample what KingCricket thinks could be the thought process behind Deccan Chargers signing on Andrew Symonds:

“How does Andrew Symonds represent the Deccan Chargers ideals and values?” they’d have asked. “Do his qualities fit with our image? What’s our official stance on the shoulder-charging of streakers? Do we have one? Why don’t we have one? Let’s say that we’re pro shoulder-charging streakers so that we can sign Roy.”
