City launch cease and desist order against Chilean 3rd division side over club crest

[halfcenturyup]

All a bit weird.

Surely, if CFG or MCFC are worried about brand management, this must be about number 1000 on the list. I would prefer to see movement on issues 1 to 10.

The negative of big, bad City terrorising a small Chilean club (who will be first to bring that up?) far outweighs any positive outcome, imho.

The three rivers of Manchester are the irwell medlock and irk. The Mersey flows through Stockport and sale and then dumps all its shit at Liverpool.

And through Didsbury, Northenden & Chorlton too

Just add this club to CFG. And the logo stuff is already sorted.

Of all the legal battles to fight this is a strange one

Yes the irwello,medlocko and the irko. :-)

Now we know why you go by the moniker, Spanishbob!

We should buy their club and burn it down

Thats tomorrows Daily Mirror sports headline sorted "Mega rich state owned Man city (with no history or fans) decide to buy small club & burn it down!"

Well its obviously a complete rip off of our badge. The cfg ones are irrelevant. At least they had the good grace to leave the fucking awful red rose off theirs. Kudos.

Awful Red Rose? You mean the glorious flower of Lancashire where our glorious club originated?

Had to do it as we have the legal rights to our design , nobody else can have a rip off of it

What about these fuckers and their badge?

The thing is I get what you are saying but given the global group we have, without actually saying so specifically, could they be passing themselves off as being part of the group?
And then CFG find themselves having to defend themselves in court denying that this club nor the youth team coach fiddling with the kids had anything to do with CFG..... yet this club state "well we had the badge for 4 years.... what more proof do you need.... CFG didn't object did they?"
Extreme I know..... but the club / group has to protect itself
