Monday, inside Manchester City's club meeting room.
Pellegrini convened an emergency meeting with the first-team coaching staff.
The theme of the meeting was to reevaluate England player Milner's status in the team.
"Milner made a serious mistake in the match against West Brom. I called everyone here to hear your opinions on whether he can continue playing for Manchester City!"
This remark caused a buzz in the meeting room, everyone realizing the priority was to send Milner packing.
Many started speaking up for Milner, opposing Pellegrini's proposal.
"Milner has a tough style, dares to fight, and is one of our few players with the ability to stir things up in the front field. He deserves to stay and compete with Tang for a starting position!"
"Although Milner's dribbling seemed foolish that time, we can't just finish him off because of one mistake. Besides, if it weren't for Sterling's miss, Milner could have redeemed himself."
