Managerleague - possible law suit and closure (01/04/2009 07:28)
Yesterday, we received a legal opinion from FIFA. We have been warned they will claim a civil law suit against Managerleague as we use several player and team names where FIFA own all rights in regards to these players and teams. FIFA will ask for either economical compensation or that Managerleague is closed down. We have of course involved our lawyers and unfortunately, they have told us that FIFA may have a solid case against Managerleague. The legal opinion was filed in Zurich on March 26th the trial will start mid May. We will of course keep you notified about the progress on this matter! I am truly sorry about this situation, but I hope we will win and survive this. Here at ML Headquarters we are trying to convince ourselves that playing FIFA is just like another home game…….. Wish us good luck!

pictureI fell for it but was feeling a bit strange that ML accepted this without trying to change the rules of the game by not allowing names from real players and clubs in the game. Second commentary was the key to unveil this mistery tough! PS: Hope that FIFA or UEFA do not see this and have any ideas!!!
