According to BBC, Chelsea still own his image rights. Does this mean he'll have to wear a bag on his head? I for one, wholeheartedly endorse this policy. |  |

I suppose he could get around it by changing his name by deed poll to something simple like 'Paul Hart'.
It's both amusing and depressing to think that Man Utd may have to pay a sack load of money over to Chelsea to get the deal through. Clearly 'Mourinho' is bigger than any club. |  |

Maybe that is why he has been out of work, Manchester United were the only team desperate enough to be prepared to pay Chelsea. |  | | |

Or, the alternative version is it's a bit of a ruse to avoid a contractual dispute with Van Gaal that they had a pre deal with Jose |  | | |

I would suggest a public vote for changing his name.
I will go with Tw@tty McTw@tface.
It will remind the united fans of Fergie and it does what it says on the tin. | |

Cars, casinos and talcum powder...
'Lawyers from both sides have been locked in negotiations over a number of image rights issues, primarily Mourinho’s deal with car manufacturer Jaguar but also watch and casino sponsors.
United have a seven-year shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet — a division of General Motors - worth £357 million and were keen to resolve any possible conflict of interest with Mourinho’s financial arrangement with Jaguar.
Mourinho also has an endorsement deal with Hublot, the Swiss watch maker who used to be a United sponsor, but the Manchester club have a tie up with Bulova, an American watch company, which presented another complication.
Similarly, United have a commercial contract with Donaco International, a casino and leisure resort operator in South Korea as well as Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. Mourinho has a deal with Paradise Co, a South Korean casino operator.'

'One issue appears to be the fact that Chelsea own the European trademark to 'Jose Mourinho'.
European Union Intellectual Property Office records show that Chelsea Football Club Limited own the trademark for five classes of goods until March 31, 2025.
The application was filed in March 2005 and registered in April 2006, covering items varying from umbrellas to watch straps, and lingerie to talcum powders.'

He's got a terrible lawyer, allowing his employer to register and own his personal trade mark. Trade marks are valid for ten years so they must have renewed it last year after holding it for all the time between his leaving and returning. Bizarre. |  |

If the Manchester United South Korean casino people can talk to the Mourinho South Korean casino people I am sure everything can be resolved amicably. | |

Woah there let's just ponder that statement for a little longer:
United have a seven-year shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet — a division of General Motors - worth £357 million
Holy smoke!

P.S. Interesting that both General Motors and one of Manchester United's previous sponsors AIG have had to be bailed out by the American government since 2008. [Post edited 26 May 2016 14:40]
