The original name of Liverpool F.C. was to be Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds, Ltd., or Everton Athletic for short, adopting blue. The name was registered on 15 March 1892 while Everton was still occupying and playing at Anfield in a attempt by Houdling to hijack the club. Houlding wanted to take over Everton's fixtures and position in the Football League. However the club name was changed to Liverpool F.C., after protests from Liverpool R.F.C., when the Football Council refused to recognise the team as Everton. The company changed the name from Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd to Liverpool F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd in June 1892.

They may have changed their name but they did not exist until he founded them to fill the stadium he owned.He tried to give them the same name yes but they weren't in existence until he founded them to fill his empty stadium.

God,it's like teaching kindergarten.

To the OP:
Why Sandro? why not say any player who is under contract? for example Torres, if Chelsea didnt win the Prem, or the Champions League, would he be happy with this, and could this cause problems for Chelsea?

Is it the length of his contract that is the issue, if so how would signing him for 3 years make any difference, except for making his re-sale value less?

---

I'm suggesting Sandro, as he is a future star and will need Champions League in the future.

To be honest, I can't see Tottenham getting CL for quite some time...

Despite of Spurs were playing in the top division between 1984-1994, the average attendance was well below 30,000. Only once they recorded 30,000+. STAT

Unlike Spurs, none of the above mentioned clubs plagiarized their current name.

I dont understand how any club could avoid the potential problem, what exactly is your point? and how is it unique to Sandro? We could easily say the same about Lukaku as He is a future star - if Chelsea dont win the CL he could be a cause for potential problems?

To be honest, I can't see Chelsea winning the CL for quite some time...

They didn't plagiarize the term Hotspur they used it.

Plagiarize
: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source
intransitive verb
: to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

As the name Hotspur already existed all Tottenham Hotspur did was adopt the name Hotspur as had the other club using the name Hotspur.

A little like more than one club including United or Rovers, or County in their name.

Clear now?

My point is that the Modric saga did no one any good. Unsettled some of your players and angered the fans.

My question is do you want a possibility of that happening again with Sandro?
