Liverpool FC wants to trademark the word Liverpool
Liverpool Football Club has moved to trademark the word “Liverpool” - but has stressed it is “only in the context of football products and services”. The Reds say the application to the Intellectual Property Office is to protect both the club and the supporters “from those benefiting from inauthentic products”. It’s also to ensure all revenue from those services and products using the word “Liverpool” in relation to the Anfield club is channelled back to it - and then reinvested on aspects such as transfers and the stadium. The move is not unprecedented, and other Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Southampton have also trademarked place names in relation to their commercial business, BusinessLive reports . An LFC spokeswoman told the ECHO : “We are applying to register ‘Liverpool’ as a trademark but only in the context of football products and services. “We are not, and wouldn’t … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC wants to trademark the word Liverpool
Southampton bizarrely twinned with MIAMI
SOUTHAMPTON has been twinned with MIAMI - but the two cities have more in common than you think. Council chiefs in the Hampshire city announced the official partnership today. Despite them being more than 4,300 miles apart, Sun Online looked at the similarities that bring the two port cities together. Beaches Miami is known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, full of scantily-clad holidaymakers sipping cocktails on sun loungers. But what about Southampton? Well, it does have beaches, but you won’t see that many glamorous sun-worshippers flocking to the pebbles of Weston Shore to top up their tan. While the brisk waters of the Solent can’t compete with the blue waters of the Atlantic. Sports Southampton – home of the Saints – is synonymous with football. The city is fearlessly proud of its club and of heroes like Matt Le Tissier. Miami has NBA team the Heat and the Dolphins in NFL – not to mention David Beckham’s Inter Miami FC soon to be in the … [Read more...] about Southampton bizarrely twinned with MIAMI
What Manchester United must do to emulate Liverpool FC revival
The date is January 22nd 2018 and Manchester United are second in the Premier League table. Okay, they're 12 points behind runaway leaders Manchester City but they're six points clear of rivals Liverpool, whose shock 1-0 defeat at Swansea has left them on 47 points to United's 53. As if to make matters worse for Liverpool, United have just beaten City to the clutch signing of Alexis Sanchez on a free from Arsenal - one of the Premier League's star performers whose signing has been met with huge fanfare on social media. Pianos and all. Liverpool? They've been widely derided for vastly overpaying on the transfer of Virgil Van Dijk, who has recently arrived from Southampton for a world record (for a defender) £75million. United's defence, meanwhile, has just recorded its fifth consecutive clean sheet after a 1-0 win at Burnley. How many United fans truly saw the next 18 months unfolding in the way they have done? That six point gap has been cancelled out and then some, Liverpool … [Read more...] about What Manchester United must do to emulate Liverpool FC revival
FC Barcelona tracking Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes
Barcelona are tracking Angel Gomes as he approaches the final year of his Manchester United contract. Gomes, 18, has generated interest from clubs across Europe since making his United debut at the age of 16 years and 263 days against Crystal Palace in May 2017 and is out of contract in 2020. The Salford-raised playmaker has only made three additional substitute appearances since his first-team bow and the MEN revealed Gomes had a loan moved lined up in January. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who played Gomes in his first Old Trafford match in charge against Huddersfield, blocked Gomes' departure in the winter window but only sent him on again in the final game of the season against Cardiff. Mason Greenwood, who is a year younger than Gomes, has already made his full debut. Gomes was named as a substitute in the 3-2 win over Southampton, as well as the 3-1 Champions League second leg triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in March, and was included in a handful of provisional … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona tracking Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes
