To be fair if you read the article he didn't phrase it like that.

Former
Manchester City man James Milner insists he is now with a bigger club at Liverpool.
The midfielder left the Etihad at the end of his contract this month to join Liverpool after winning two Premier League titles and FA Cup and a Capital One Cup in his time with the Blues.
He says he made the switch to ensure maximum playing time - but his parting shot about the Blues’ status is set to get under the skin of City fans.
And the fact that his comments come in a week when a plethora of former Anfield stars have lined up to have a pop at City over
the Raheem Sterling saga , will exacerbate that feeling.
Milner said: “It’s a huge club and Man City, maybe over the course of history, isn’t as quite as big as Liverpool.
“At this moment in time City are doing very well and expected to win trophies. The set-up is all there. I had a lot of conversations with the hierarchy at City and they never said a bad word about me.
“It was just their opinions on where I fitted in.”
Milner was disgruntled about the amount of playing time handed to him by City manager Manuel Pellegrini - particularly in big games.
“They saw me as a big part of the club,” he said.
As for the difference Milner's ending his career, Sterling is starting his.
