They're cheeky cunts after tapping up Milner all year. I don't think they'll accept it. I think they've backed themselves into a corner and have no option but to stick to their guns.
I hope I'm wrong.
They need an 'out'. An undisclosed fee which they can claim as 50m, or some way of it all adding up to a potential 50m.
The only other out for them is to look for another buyer, then pretend we are the bad guys, then let him go to (say) Chelsea for 40-45m instead claiming a moral victory over City. The PR machine will need a new brief... 'cancel the anti-Sterling message, and start the anti-City one'
