... the Magpies will receive the final £4m installment of Milner's £12m transfer fee from Aston Villa.
Milner is due to meet Aston Villa officials on Tuesday.
Villa turned down City’s £20m bid for the midfielder last week, but City are expected to return with an improved offer, and Milner is thought to be very interested in a move to the 'Money-Bags of Premiership Football'.
If Toon fans want a scapegoat for who bungled the Milner transfer ... it happens to be former executive director Dennis Wise ... who was involved in the negotiating process with Villa.
Villa have already paid two £4m installments of Milner’s transfer fee, and Newcastle will be due a final payment of a further £4m soon.
