Probably confirming what many already know but a guy at work is good friends with milligan's mum and she told him he has agreed to terms and is beginning to organise moving the family etc over there. Says its really good money and really wants to have a crack at the prem. says he loves melbourne and melbourne victory but the offer is too good to refuse.

To be honest I want him to go there, will only better him as a player.

Considering he told the Board that he doesn't want to leave yet, I call bullshit on your fourth hand information.

Like suarez told liverpool he does not want to leave. Like rooney has said he is happy ect ect.

These are not comparable to Milligan in the slightest

He's gone

Did Rooney or Saurez say that to the press or the board? (Serious question, I don't really bother following anything other than HAL)

mmm im more inclined to call bullshit on this. Can't see what ange gets out of denying that theres an offer

How so ? lol

both saying they want to say they are happy

both want to go and play at a higher level with first team football

milligan wants a higher level with first team football.


Point is everyone could name 100 players who have said yes im happy then have gone anyway.


Flores for one......... :evil:

Rooney said publicly he is happy and wants to say and Suarez has said about 50 times in the last 5 months im happy at anfield


does anyone have a 100 percent sauce that mulligan said he wants to stay to the board or is it my friend jack told me that time told him stuff ? lol

He denied there was a written offer tabled. Be sure to read all the words.


This is simply negotiation 101. Use the media to get the message out how important the player is to the club and future of the clubs aspirations blah blah blah, inflate the value of the product to gain leverage on the deal.

Simples!


In all of this, and to put into perspective for the Notorganics of the world, if it's not about money for Victory, then get off your hands MV and go bring in a notable marquee to fill the role planned for Milligan. Let Milligan grab is only chance of EPL.

Ask ya mate at work if Millsy's mum's a milf.

I genuinely feel like I'm losing brain cells every time I read one of liverpoolfan2010's posts.

OMG ROFL, love it, laughing out loud!




Indeed. Most people don't realise this. But it's all in the 'technicality' - Just because Ange says 'There have been no offers' doesn't means there won't be one tabled! Doesn't mean there haven't been clubs monitoring or even enquiring?! I've seen this before.

Coaches and clubs need to be careful too. They kind of have to play 'hard to get' in a way. They can't let them in (Agents etc) by talking 'too loose', otherwise value plummets and on 'the player's' side they can enter a scenario of no-return, a limbo or 'wanting to leave' and 'being disappointed' should it not happen, fall out of the Victory team, losing morale etc... Suddenly there's no option but for the player to leave, at reduced value (Or even release!).

This all requires careful management, especially in this 24 media cycle. Nothing is done, till it's done. And if nothing is done, then it's fine, there's nothing to talk about and Milligan, Ange and Victory carry on with business just as they have been.

Confirmed in a tweet from a board insider that has a 100% hit rate.

https://twitter.com/millberry80/status/361806468388880384



So there you go. Can you go to bed now?

how could you not give the EPL a go. i think he will go also

:lol: at notor latching on to any scrap of indication that Milligan isn't leaving.

My sources have told me SFA about this, but IMO he'll leave. No one loses their dream to play at such a high level, and even training & playing reserves for an EPL team would be better than playing HAL leading into the WC IMO.

Will MV replace him? How is Paartalu going, and what is his status?

Milberry is a journo who is very well placed with several MV board members. He never blows his twitter load early, and as Notor said I can't recall him ever being off the mark. Take it from me that you can consider this guy a solid source.

Of course, things could always change out of the blue at he last minute, that's football, but yeah, you can be sure that that tweet was accurate.

What Paladisious said (man, that username is spelled so differently than how I sound it out in my head).

I could have linked to any of the multitude of tweets saying "oh, he's settled, he has the armband, he'll go to the WC" tweets by random MVFC twitterati, but I spent 10 minutes actually searching out that specific tweet BECAUSE of who posted it.

This hahaha. I've noticed it in like 4 different threads. And he says it with such certainty :lol: :lol: :lol:

ILY Notor <3

We should pull out the old roundtables where I slammed the notion of him being our captain because he was "a player that played for Melbourne, not a Melbourne player".

What a difference a year makes haha.

Notor when he hears a relatively solid Milligan-is-leaving rumour

:lol:

:lol: love this thread.

In reply to PV4, my usual source is very close to Erik, but I don't think he'll be on the move too soon. He didn't enjoy China initially, but he was advised to stay there and see out his absolutely huge contract.
I'm going to a wedding with Erik in a few months, so I'll just ask him (jokes... No-one likes awkward fanboi shit at a wedding) :lol:
