If the WayneRooney.co.uk DRS case is anything to go by then the name could be a liability rather than an asset if you try to hold onto it.

As such, I'd say the value is <£0 unless it makes any money over and above reg fee through parking.

What Ty said, I'd rather not own it that own it

Funnily enough, wayne-rooney.co.uk drops tomorrow, no doubt someone will grab that one and possibly get a drs for it.

I thought there was a WayneRooney.co.uk DRS case too but I checked the Whois which suggests otherwise, must've just been the .com they went after

It was both.

Wikipedia says under Commercial Interests:

In July 2006, Rooney's lawyers went to the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organisation to gain ownership of the Internet domain names waynerooney.com and waynerooney.co.uk, both of which Welsh actor Huw Marshall registered in 2002.[79] Three months later, the WIPO awarded Rooney the rights to waynerooney.com

Don't think the .co.uk was transferred to Rooney despite the successful drs was it? As it dropped last July.

[edit]

I remember looking at it at the time it dropped, and am I right in thinking someone connected to Rooney, agent/manager or something had control of it, and they let it drop?

Yeah they got the domain back and let it drop again! According to Aston Villa benty boys worth around £18/24 million....I smell desperation, for the level they play at for £20 million they could get 3/4 decent players to make the whole team better!

I heard they made them two offers, £18m cash, or £20m cash and Heskey
