The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[PaulTheVillan]

Let's set Man City a deadline.

If they don't make the bid before the deadline then they don't get the player.

Simples.

[Mazrim]

I'm sure we have or would. If we sold him on the last day without getting a chance to spend the money we'd be the biggest twats going. So we wont.

[Clampy]

I thought this bit was interesting

"I think the owner [Randy Lerner] puts a price on players. Of course, he will have an idea on the price," explained O'Neill.

"Negotiations are being conducted by the Villa chief executive [Paul Faulkner] and the owner and I will be guided by them."

I don't know precisely why, though. It sounds a bit like distancing himself / being a little standoffish.

It also explains his outburst about quitting if they sell Ashley Young, he now obviously has lost that control, which for such a control freak must be very galling.

When did MON come out with this 'outburst' then?

[BannedUserIAT]

Probably in Malcom's dreams. Though to be fair, he likely misheard as he was smearing himself in peanut butter at the time.

[Mazrim]

Yes, it's news to me too. Be careful Malcolm. MON will have his Elite team of superlawyers in here faster than you can say larf!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm sure we have or would. If we sold him on the last day without getting a chance to spend the money we'd be the biggest twats going. So we wont.

Didn't MON say yesterday that he hadn't set a deadline for Milner? I'm not saying it's a bad thing plus his back peddling about the possibility of Milner staying can only be a positive move. Either we get the value we're looking for or we have a player that knows he's wanted by the club. I just hope he doesn't play dirty by refusing a new contract, even if it's just a 12 month extension.

Am getting increasingly frustrated now. Just watched Mancini on SSN saying he's still in for Milner.WELL PAY UP OR FUCK OFF YOU GREASY HAIRED SCARF WEARING TWAT !! I wish we'd show our teeth and set a deadline and get some control !! Morning btw :)

Maybe we should just release a statement saying pay up this week or the deals off.

or is martin too interested in the money?

I wouldn't know. Only Martin's speaking.

True, but the fact that Milner hasn't for me speaks volumes

If Milner says anything he's on a lose lose.

If he speaks out about Martin putting words in his mouth he gets a barry style fine and he's off.

If he says he wants to stay but (as i think) Martin wants the money for him and he goes to Manc. He's pissed off his new fans.

If he says he wants to leave but Man City cannot afford him and he stays. Hes fucked us off.

god knows what the real situation is. but he literally is f*cked if he says anything!

Couldn't disagree more if I rehearsed it:-

If he speaks out he will either say he wants to go or he wants to stay.  Saying he wants to go would only help facilitiate the move and saying he wants to stay would mean he does, given that the club has already stated we don't want to sell him.

Anything else is just you reading things into statements that haven't even been made to try and back up the frankly ridiculous notion that Martin's trying to flog him against his wishes!

[PaulTheVillan]

I want us to sell him, else I doubt we'll have any serious money to spend, so we can get 3 good players in to improve us.

[Mazrim]

Again, MON isn't negoiating this business, Randy and Paul Faulkner are.

If only he was the evil genius he was made out to be.
