May 26, 201610 yr So basically they can't create any merchandise without getting the name off us? Hilarious.
May 26, 201610 yr How is chelsea pursuing it now? They can only take action if United create some memorabilia with Jose's name on it. United probably WANT to create that sort of thing or market the club using his name. With Inter and Real we probably just let it slip by.
May 26, 201610 yr It would be nice to screw a few million quid out of United, even though we don't need the money. For years we have been paying 'Chelsea prices' to all and sundry. A bit of payback would be nice especially after all the palaver over Jon Obi Mikel.
May 26, 201610 yr Red Cafe are a fickle bunch aren't they. All through the end of 14/15 they were going on about how average Jose was, how Pep was so much better and I used to argue against, and how our 04/05 team was great fun to watch. Most of them weren't having any of it. Now suddenly hes going to join them and his parking the bus is overstated, and everything they used to say was just a myth. Is there a club that shoots itself in the foot more than ours?
May 26, 201610 yr They're man Utd fans, what do you expect.. They are glory hunting sheep for the most part.
May 26, 201610 yr Funny how all of a sudden we're getting an avalanche of puff pieces claiming Mourinho's goals record is better than he's been given credit for, the 'parking the bus' reputation is undeserved, and we shouldn't judge him too harshly for not bringing through youngsters. Sky have been going into overdrive with the Mourinho 'myth busting' this week. And here's the Mail: And the more Jose revisionism that goes on during these negotiations the more valuable those image rights will become - always assuming, of course, that the ‘new improved Jose’ will sell merchandise at a faster rate than the old ’bad Jose’ used to. If I was in Roman’s shoes I’d dig my heels in for a little longer and squeeze every last dollar out of the Glazers, but in the meantime, for as long as the current situation lasts and to the tune of the Dimitri Payet chant…. We've got Jose, image rights Jose, I just don't think you understand, Still super Roman’s man, And he don‘t give a damn, We've got image rights Jose .
May 26, 201610 yr What I don't get is clearly Inter and Real did not give a sh*t about his image rights..... and Real for one, a bigger club than Man Utd and also exploited his name all over the world .... does it just relate to the UK ?

True, Chelsea faced a similar situation when Mourinho joined Inter Milan and Real Madrid, but allowed those clubs to use his name under licence. We are taking a different approach on this occasion, not least because United want to own the trademark outright.

May 26, 201610 yr That's it then, Mourinho has been appointed Manchester United manager. As you so once said, Jose "once you go to a direct rival, the love story is over." Looking forward to the Conte era.
May 26, 201610 yr Knew it was coming, but still a little choked up by the official announcement. Really wish it had worked out here, it's going to be a tough few months here. Hopefully we hit the ground running next season.
May 26, 201610 yr This really hasn't had an affect (effect?) on me at all, I've never liked him. Can't deny he's one of the best around and who's success here will probably never be rivaled but I'm all about my club and us going forward. Chelaea will win it all, Inter will win it all, Madrid will win it all and finally we'll win it all again they said. How did that work out? He won a lot but this notion that Man Utd will win the titles for years and years is absurd, they're no loyal to their managers than the next club, if they're at the wrong end of the table then he'll be gone. I've never believed in this 'one of us' tripe but im not sure how fans who previously believed that are now angry at him, we fired him, TWICE! We can't expect him to turn down a great job and if you seriously did because of him being 'one of us' then you're deluded, in my opinion.
May 26, 201610 yr Jose's first move will be sell mata back to Chelsea, send martial, rashford and lingaard on loan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 26, 201610 yr Remember when Jose said "if I don't promote these 5 kids (referring to RLC etc), I will have failed". Well Jose, you did fail. So much talk about youth and he didn't do it. Just alienated them further. I'm Jose will be on his best behaviour for a while until the pressure starts.
May 26, 201610 yr I seriously cant bring myself to wish him luck in his new job...dont know why but i feel a bit nausiated about him going there makes me feel kind of betrayed if u know what i mean...
May 26, 201610 yr Don't really give a sh*t to be honest. He's not Chelsea any more, he can do what he wants. He'll get a round of applause the first time we play them, but other than that, he's the opposition manager now, so shouldn't get any special treatment, he certainly won't be giving us any
May 26, 201610 yr This would have really hurt had this been him succeeding Ferguson. It really ran its course though with us the second time round and I am not convinced he is guaranteed to succeed there. He is a Chelsea legend, always will be, but I hope he falls flat on his face in Manchester. Edited May 26, 201610 yr by Blue Exile
May 26, 201610 yr Gutted but that's life I guess. Conte is our man and I hope he wipes the floor with them all including Jose.
May 26, 201610 yr I actually feel more perturbed that I would have thought. I've seen him referred to as The Red Devil and have noted those welcoming him up north. It's a bit like spying upon an ex, no? I feel somewhat bereft.

May 26, 201610 yr I wonder what reception he'll get when he comes back to Stamford Bridge with them. The Stamford Bridge crowds have generally been very gracious toward former club members.
