Heard from a source that the Sky blue name is now copyright and owned by man city and if coventry want to use it on anything we have to ask for permission. Why was this not done by us years ago. Guess money talks.

Firstly, it wouldn't be copyright as copyright is an automatic right given to a creative work, it'd be a trade mark.
Secondly, if it were registered we could legitimately claim prior art as we have been using it for ages. It's not as simple as first one there wins.
Thirdly, check the trademark register yourself, it's not registered in relation to football at all: https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmtext/
Fourth, and most worrying of all. Sky Blue Sam is dead! : https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00002107761

man city were using it way before us.
Yes, but if they've only just registered it we can claim we've been using it for ages. http://www.inbrief.co.uk/intellectual-property/defences-to-trademark-infringement.htm#
