I hope that we can get through the image rights and get a deal done quickly :thumbup:

We are close to signing a player and the hold up is image rights.

Hopefully it will be sorted :ayatollah:

The players can ask for a cut of the profits were their ugly mug or name is used to sell a product, for example if you had image rights and the club decide to produce a line of say.... Don Cowie pack lunch boxes he could claim a slice of the profits of that product at the prearranged percentage

If you are a household name, like Ronald or Messi, your image and name have a value similar to that of a brand name like Apple or Honda.

The idea of image rights is that the household name has control over how their name is used and exploited commercially.

Ronaldo's face will sell products across the world and make huge amounts of money for his club.

By factoring this into his contract, the player is making sure that he receives a percentage of the money other people are making from his image.

Players with image rights attached to their contracts are usually classed as a household name.
So does that mean we are signing someone with a surname like Hoover, belling, hotpoint, beko, tefal etc ?
