Upmarket Chinese themed restaurant and club. If it's the same one as London. Great Sui mai.

Thanks mate, I'm a bit of thick northerner

If you want great sui mai, 'Yauatcha' pisses all over it imo.

Is it like dumplings ?

I was just thinking about the Hakkasan before, thinking it could be ideal if the super-casino / entertainment complex is a viable option for the collar site. I googled it to find out more about it's Vegas operation, and came across this article in Forbes which explains more about Sheikh Mansour's involvement.

I'm going to have to ask, what the fuck is a Hakkasan, anything like a hacky sack?

Embarrassed and spiteful, the story goes, the rejected patron decided to build his own venue and put the eufa ?competition out of business.
i like it!!!Created by restauranteur Alan Yau in 2001 as an upscale Chinese restaurant in London, Hakkasan was sold in January 2008 to the investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. (Mansour also notably bought the Manchester City soccer club that same year.) With restaurant locations as diverse as San Francisco to Dubai, the brand has expanded well beyond the original vision, says Yau

like it more!!

It is like dumplings, Andy. Very much so.

I'd rather we sued the individual rather than the organisation too. Take the c**t to the fucking cleaners, bankrupt him if we can, and let the rest of them take notice.
It's easy to spew bile and tell lies when the company lawyers are behind you. I doubt many of these cockroaches would be so brave if they knew we would come after them personally.

We can sue both the person who wrote it and the one who published it. But use of the word "sue" was wrong. We should be taking the necessary steps, legal or otherwise, to get a retraction. I've had this explained as:
1) Speak to the journalist.
2) If no satisfaction, speak to his Editor and then the publisher if necessary.
3) If they refuse to retract then consult lawyers.
4) If the lawyers agree we have a case, then they write to the people concerned.
5) If they still don't retract then we sue.

6) Brick his windows.
7) Finish the **** off by winning the league.

8) Sign Messi.


That ought to sort it.

City would have a hard time suing him for libel right now. Under the Defamation Act they'd have to prove they've suffered serious harm as a result.
Also, they'd have to prove his allegations where untrue, which might not be all that easy.

His claim about Lampard appears to be correct
His claim about Mangala is probably correct
His claim about failing FFP is correct.
His claim about UEFA investigating us is still more than vague and use of words like 'may' instead of 'are' go a long way to covering people's arses.

The Defamation Act was changed in 2013 and makes it more difficult (many argue) to sue for libel or slander.

In deciding serious harm, 'damaged reputation' isn't really enough. For a body that makes a profit (i.e. City) there has to be a serious financial loss (or likelihood of such).

In that case, I hope someone breaks into his house and shits in his cornflakes.

Nah, let's just brick his fucking windows.

I quote from MCFC Financial Fair Play Statement of 16 May 2014:-

"Given the unique nature of the new City Football Group structure - which incorporates MCFC, New York City, Melbourne Heart and a number of other companies - the club has agreed to certain non-material terms in order to make FFP reporting as easy as possible for UEFA to discern."

Could one of our accountants enlighten me as to what these "non-material terms" might be, and to what impact they might have on the credibility of the artcles which have appeared in the Mail and the Telegraph?

Sorry, can't enlighten you on the non-material terms but the way they are described implies City do not see them as onerous. Maybe, city have agreed to supply some additional information over and above what is available in the public domain e.g. some detail on charges passing from one company to another. As another of my posts on this thread today points out, cross-charges between group companies that share resources / provide services to one another are common place and will have been audited; although how detailed the audit work on them will have been, I cannot say: the primary purpose of an audit in the UK is to determine that the financial statements being audited provide a true and fair view of the company's financial results; the audit is not there to say that they are 100% accurate i.e. error free.

The first Hakkasan was an upmarket Chinese restaurant in London. In 2008 Sheikh Mansour bought the business, and now they have operations in Dubai, San Francisco, Miami and Vegas. The Vegas one is an entertainment complex over 5 floors, the biggest night club in the USA, and it has an exclusive contract for DJs like Calvin Harris and TIesto who can aparrently earn $200,000 a night.

An Italian finance site has done an investigation and claims the European Club Association (ECA) has proposed a mellow version of FFP to Platini. How would this effect us and how would #4 effect that lot?

 

[yerwot?]

if eufa really had fair play at heart they would outlaw leveraged buyouts
