The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Chris Smith]

Why is it so inconceivable to some that he's more than capable of doing the same again?

I think the fact that he's a Yorkshireman should not be overlooked and goes a long way more to explaining things, especially compared to some other aspects of his flawed character you've highlighted.

Do all Yorkshiremen like to keep things grim and settle for enough money to keep them in whippet food?

Or is it just like all Scousers having a great sense of humour?

And all footballers are mercenaries solely motivated by their pay packet.

if the papers are to be  trusted,sell milner for as much as possible,and get a replacement in as soon as possilbe.maybe the player from belgium.looks good on youtube but so does everyone.

In before the merge / lock.

If I was offered a substantial increase in my salary to go and work for a very similar organisation in a very similar position then I'd do it too.

[Concrete John]

I wonder what they're talking about?

Most of us would but then we're not already earning more in a week than most people earn in a year.

You're right, but then we're not in a job with a career that spans maybe 10 to 15 years rather than 40 or 50.

Regardless of what salary a person is on, if they can get a huge amount more for doing exactly the same job they'd be stupid not to take it.

I'm sure that given the sort of person Milner is, if he can earn that much more he'd take it because it would give him more opportunity to provide for himself and his family.

[Concrete John]

I think that money is obviously important to Milner, as it is to us all.

He was sick of the circus at Newcastle, part of which was them trying to get away with paying him a lot less than other 1st team players.  If he leaves us now, I think it will be mainly be for the 'footballing' reasons of thinking Man City are a better longterm bet, but he'll also negotiate himself a very healthy payrise in the process.

I think he's being motivated 25% by the cash and 75% for other reasons.

Yeah - just noticed that!

Thanks.

Clearly money is a big issue for a footballer but then so is playing regularly, winning trophies, representing your country and feeling appreciated. Unlike Kevin Gage I don't think that they all just follow whoever is offering the highest salary.

Quality John.
You've just shown us all the porn on your C drive.

...No doubt there are people advising him differently, saying "it's your chance to play in the CL and earn an extra £50k a week".

When did the FA bring in this new ruling that Man City are playing Champions League? I must have missed it with all the World Cup Hubub.

Since that Sinatra fella came into Man City, everyone has been saying that they're a certaintly for CL football and yet, through various managers and untold fortunes, they've not cracked it.

I know, I know, they'll do it next year.

Yeah, right-oh.

That is not what I said, read the rest of what I wrote.

The part you quoted is what I said other may be saying to him, without his best interests at heart.

Please do not pick out parts and make believe I was saying something else.

just accept that people will not always read what you say, but will read what they want it to say
