United to pay for Jose's name? Manchester United may have to pay Chelsea for the right to fully exploit Jose Mourinho's name when he is confirmed as their manager later this week. Chelsea still own the rights to Mourinho's name and signature having registered it as a trademark with the Intellectual Property Office in 2005, during his first spell at Stamford Bridge. As well as being registered in the UK, 'Jose Mourinho' is registered as a trademark of Chelsea FC on the European Union's Intellectual Property Database. It means Chelsea can use his name on a huge variety of products, from eau de cologne to cotton wool, magnets, leather goods and pyjamas. In practice Chelsea, who declined to comment, have used it on club merchandise including mugs, posters, smartphone cases and miniature figurines. The trademark issue is not considered a barrier to Mourinho's deal, currently being negotiated by his agent Jorge Mendes and United's senior executive Ed Woodward. United may however have to pay a fee to Chelsea if it wants to exploit the name on its merchandise. Alternatively it could not seek not to use the name on products. Chelsea retained the trademark during Mourinho's spells at Internazionale and Real Madrid, but it is unclear whether they paid any fee to exploit the trademark. The issue is among a number of image rights issues that lawyers for Mourinho and the club are working through as they finalise what is expected to be a three-year contract with a salary in excess of £10m a year. Issues that have to be dealt with include conflicting commercial arrangements in certain sponsorship categories. Mourinho is sponsored by Jaguar and was always pictured in one of their cars on arrival and departure at Chelsea. United however have a £380m, seven-year deal with General Motors. Similarly Mourinho has a watch deal with Hublot while United's watch sponsor is Bulova. Such clashes can be resolved either by either party adjusting the value of their respective deals to reflect the fact Mourinho may not be involved in promotion. Following talks between Mendes and Woodward United may be in a position to formally announce Mourinho's appointment on Thursday. It is unclear whether a press conference would then be held this week. Mourinho may choose to hold a full media briefing, or it may be delayed until July, closer to when the players return to pre-season training. www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10294347/man-utd-may-have-to-pay-chelsea-to-use-jose-mourinho-name |

Diademk07: What of their performances in the CL, he had to overhaul the team in his second season, and they won the CL. |

Mou is buying Ibrahimovic to rile up Pep, there will be a lot of media confrontations between the two. |

“They have managed to sort out some of the image right wrangles overnight. They have freed his signature and freed his name from Chelsea, if you like. “There are still image rights to clear up and I think the lawyers will pore over the details today. On the other side of things there is the thought that it might even drag on until tomorrow but, at this stage, Manchester United remain hopeful and optimistic they can make some sort of an announcement today."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Why is everyone jumping at Mourhino's coming, is this not the same guy that failed woefully at Chelsea last season? Does his lousy style and culture fit into the Manchester tradition? This is just a desperate move by Man Utd from my point of view, Pep Guardiola would have been a better fit but we missed out on him. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:15am On May 26, 2016 |
Tvegas:So since Pep was missed, should United have remained with LvG or? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 10:20am On May 26, 2016 |
Tvegas:We missed out on Pep & Ancelotti sadly, perhaps waiting for LvG to improve results. I would have preferred one of them - Pep especially but what other options are there now? |

RONALDO: MANCHESTER UNITED LACK IDENTITY - I HOPE MOURINHO BRINGS IT BACK “I think it’s good. If it's something United wanted, I think it’s good,” Ronaldo told La Sexta's 'Jugones' TV show. “I hope Manchester United get back to being what they were because it’s an impressive club but in recent years they lacked an identity a bit. “And it hurts me seeing United like that because it’s a club I carry in my heart. "I wish Mourinho can restore them back to the top.” m.goal.com/s/en/news/1862/premier-league/2016/05/26/23938372/ronaldo-manchester-united-lack-identity-i-hope-mourinho?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=enfb |

Odunharry:Against. Bro she ain't even EPL and to make it worse but for her club you guys would be spotting a UEFA badge of honour on Your Team Jerseys and have a full size replica of the Champions League cup in your trophy room. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by pamcode(m): 12:41pm On May 26, 2016 |
BossKratos:Well considering the fact they could lose Mahrez, a back up wouldn't be bad. Musa is at least above average to me tho finishing hasnt always been his forte. His speed would certainly cause trouble against opposition |

GBR1: Dadehmola: codedguy1:What's all this stupid talk about Di Maria real position? His real position has always been a wing role! He was only used as a makeshift box-box CM for just 6 months! And He's not cut for a box-box role in an average central midfield like ours. Simple as ABC. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 1:09pm On May 26, 2016 |
SailorXY:Pep would have used 3 years to get to a start at United. Don't forget he met a devastating squad at Bayern, and he arguably left them a bit worse off as they could no longer beat any of La Liga's top three. For now, Pep's tactical skills might still be overrated. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 1:17pm On May 26, 2016 |
Diademk07:You always beat around the bush! I'm not a coach, but I was certain Di Maria wasn't always spectacular on the wings. He's worth £60m in the middle, but on the wings.... Mostly frustrating. If it was known that he played best in the midfield, why did United buy him and not make revamping the midfield to support him a priority? It's not nice always arguing to win..... Makes one look sillyy. 1 Like |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:31pm On May 26, 2016 |
Elxandre:What? He's not even worth 30mil! Box-box players wey yapa full everywhere? Anyway, there's no way we would have revamped the midfield to the level of that of Madrid. Whatever it is, the fact is that his real position still remain the wing role. By the way, he would have been a liability in our average midfield because we can't afford huge turnover machine in that woeful sluggish midfield. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:38pm On May 26, 2016 |
Elxandre:Still gave them quality young players to look towards and he replaced Robben and Ribery adequately. Players like Kimmich, who's a young Alonso/Bastian in making. Coman and Costa are adequate perfect replacement for Robben and Ribery. And there's Thiago Alcantara. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 1:48pm On May 26, 2016 |
Diademk07: who bought Di Maria? Did the person not know what position Di Maria was most effective? Did the person not know that his philosophy would make Di Maria an effective player, played in his best position? Did the person that brought him not know how much he being priced? i guess the person that bought him "thought" Di Maria would convert to a side/back passing possession genius. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:55pm On May 26, 2016 |
diggz:Are you asking me if you didn't know Sneidjer had 1 good year? A man who went to obscurity at the tender age of 26 yrs is your own definition of worldclass player? Continue! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:58pm On May 26, 2016 |
codedguy1:All this rambling doesn't dispute the fact that Di Maria is a winger and he was deployed as such at Manutd just like Van gaal did with Robben and Martial. However, Di Maria was just so full of shite! End of. |
