At last, that was a merry go round.
Looks like they've John Obi Mikel'd us...
wtf with his name rights? was that serious?
Can't wait to see his name back in the thread title.
Feels good to be able to say it again.
Jose Mourinho.
Jose. Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho.
Jose. Mourinho.
It was. Crazy stuff.
Redcafe mods would like to inform Chelsea FC if they're reading this that we have no affiliation with this poster and they have been banned.Can't wait to see his name back in the thread title.

Jose Mourinho.
Jose. Mourinho.
Let's just announce this shite now.
How the hell could they trademark someones name? If thats the case the bloke who has been selling Mourinhos scarf since December should be getting his collar felt.
We can take it out of the Jon Obi Mikel Comedy Fund.
Jose is more glamorous than any of our players. How bizarre is that?
What does the tweet say? Twitter is blocked at my workplace.....
At last?
Its been two days, and its a multi million pound contract.
It took a month to organise a contract for a new snack machine company at my business.

Seems like chelsea have some products patented with Mourinho's name on it that are protected for quite some time (possibly renewed when he signed on for his second tenure). Also read they had his written personal consent to get the patents approved.
So I think this no normal image rights negotiation. I think Chelsea forfeited the general image rights probably when they firred him but might still have the rights for the specific products they patented under his trademark. If our commercial department would like to commercialise some of these they will need to buy patents from Chelsea.
Edit: seems they don't anymore
They have registered with the EU intellectual property office - sounds like yet another excellent reason to support Brexit next month
I would say a rather bad reason to leave rhe EU. If Britain leaves the EU, isn't it possible that UK football teams could be kicked out of EUFA? Imagine that.
Image rights from 2007, seemed pretty laughable IMO.
Even so, I'd have expected Chelsea's shop to have dumped all that stuff in a clearance sale by now.
UEFA has nothing to do with the EU...
Europe is not synonym to the EU
Switzerland also isn't a part of the EU but they are part of UEFA and the teams from their domestic competitions can enter in UEFA organized tournaments like the CL and EL
No. You may notice that Iceland, Turkey, Russia etc are in UEFA but not the EU.
But i was taking the piss and not trying to argue the point. Supect the mods wouldnt appreciate such a conversation lol
Norway isn't in the EU, and they still play under UEFA.
I saw an odd tweet from a sky journalist earlier that said United don't intend to hold a press conference unless Jose specifically asks for one. I hope that runour is wrong, I have been looking foreard to thst presser all week
Goddamn. I only got promoted two days ago.
Ah well, in for a penny in for a pound.
Anyone want to buy any Jose Mourinho branded merchandise?
Do it all tonight, do it doo it!
So no J.Mo?
Not to worry the UK teams will be able to play teams from the countries they have arranged these super trade deals with , namely Greenland, Antarctica and Tuvalu
I can't fecking wait. Jose mourinho!
They haven't commercialised all those products, they just have patented the rights to do so
There were products like Mourinho perfume, Mourinho smart cards, Mourinho nappies, a list of over 200 items. If you look in the chelsea megastore, they have some items on there like a book, a figurine , a mug and smartphone case that are all sold at serious discounts. But I imagine if the club wanted to commercialise their own mourinho products that conflicted with the trademarks they would be guility of copywright infringement.
They either bought out the rights or they had them declared void at some court, I can imagine there be legal ground for that since Chelsea firred mourinho and all that
Like some guy said in this thread. They're sat in a room asking each other how long do we need to wait before signing him so it doesn't look like this was all agreed months ago.
Jose will be paid up to 12m a year. LVG was paid up to 8.
Nice job if you can get it - and if you do a bad job you still get a massive pay off!

So are you gonna threadmark it oorrrrrrr?
Exactly.
Maybe that's why he resigned for Chelsea, so he could get it into contract again with a clause saying if they fired him that he retain the copy right?
Crafty bloke that Mendes.
I did, 15 minutes ago.
Either that or,
"How much long do you think we can feck with Sky and the BBC?"
"They had a guy outside my house the last few days, useless tossers...."
