"Moutinho deal failed due to 15% players rights stake owned by a third party. Fee and personal terms agreed."
Edit: Here it is bigger "Moutinho deal failed due to 15% players rights stake owned by a third party. Fee and personal terms agreed."
I do not buy that crap. I'm not disputing the 3rd party ownership, but they would have known about that months ago. And, if they didn't there is something seriously wrong somewhere. I negotiate copyright in music, and if I was to announce to my client before a film/ad/game is to go live that 'oh shit sorry, we can't roll with this deal because I've just suddenly realised xyz owns 15% of the publishing' I would be asked why the hell did I not look into this before.....smacks of incompetence.
