They're very wary of people getting rumours from the internet that turn out to be true and taking them to the cleaners. Therefore, there's a possibility that they might not discriminate between the reputability of different rumours as perhaps we fans should and indeed do.Two fairly well respected bookmaking chains have stopped taking bets though. We are not talking about attention seeking bookmakers like Paddy PowerWe will see. For now, we most remember the reaction following the Talksport Twitter nonsense, the Ireland Twitter nonsense, and so on. Until I see that rolling yellow band on SSN saying MON's gone I'll assume nothing.

Maybe we are selling Milner and Young because of MON?
