He was willing to drop his mates, a football club, a local area and thousand of fans who loved him right into the shit, just so he didn't 'risk' himself.
I really don't believe everyone would have done the same.
I couldn't have any less respect for the bloke19 -
Im sure most supporters would welcome Lyle back if it got us promotion , he chose us over Sunderland for more money than we paid him when he first signed and I can never forget how good he was to Betty Hutchins when she was ill, Id love to have him back and I expect Holden wouldnt turn him down, perhaps he could play the first 9 games for nothing as a sort of payback3

If he had done his ACL, for example, would you expect Southall or Elliottt would have "looked after him"?
When JFC did his ACL in the penultimate game of the season at least Thomas gave him some sort of contract, peanuts to what he could have got but more than most of us earn.
Also if he actually broke his contract don't you think the litigation happy Farnell would have sued him?
100% I would have done the same, if my future was potentially dependent on Southall.
I honestly don't think he would have done it if Roland or Thomas owned us at the time.5 - Sponsored links:

Please no, would divide the fan base, which is what we don’t need right now.Lurker said:Expect to be in a minority but I’d love to see him back. I don’t think he’d have a negative affect on the dressing room, quite the opposite.Hated him at the time… now I half respect his honesty.
However good he was for us, and at his best he was like 2 players, money has gone to his head, he’s hardly kicked a ball in the last 4 years, and whatever we think, he will think he owes us nothing.
Im not sure I could take to him coming back to be honest, he walked away when we needed him to do his job and keep us in the championship, and he told us to poke it.
Only reason he’s popping his head up out of the parapet is because he wants another contract, don’t fool for it!3 -

Agree with everything apart from the final line.

He was fine training and playing with the almighty SE Dons too. Attention seeker from any level.2

Signed recently for Emmen in the Dutch Second Division. Been all over Europe since leaving us , with not too much success goals wise.1 -

7 goals in 76 games over the last 3 years, a record Macauley Bonne would be proud of.4 -
Do some of you actually think we've got any say in whether he comes back or not. Just like with Bonne last season if Holden thinks he's the man for us then he'll take him and we will just have to suck it up. I don't like what Vile Traitor did one bit but if he ever pulled on the shirt again he'd have my support like the rest of the boys in red & white.

a lot of signing on contracts to boost his bank balance then.

If Taylor believes he made the right decision then why is he still trying to justify it several years later.6

I do worry about some of the posters on this thread.
If your this upset with a footballer , God help you with a break up.3 -
It's pointless to speculate what Southall would or wouldn't have done. Re: your last line, I don't get that sense listening to Lyle now. He talks purely about himself.Cafc43v3r said:Chunes said:

Regarding the ACL injury point, by that logic, shouldn't every player approaching the end of their contract opt not to play? The majority do play. Lyle's decision is an outlier, but being treated by some as a norm.
I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I'm expressing my opinion on a public forum, as we all are.superclive98 said:

can’t believe we are still discussing this person.5

Everyone on this forum will know someone or have previously known someone in their life who is a narcissist to the very core. Sometimes they are so good at it that it can take years for others to eventually suss them out.
They have a very clever way of piecing stories together that sound believable to those who are not close to the situation. They will also add a touch of emotive heartstring pulling in there to really drive it home.
He has no doubt revamped the story, word-for-word, so many times in his insecure mind over the past few years that he probably completely believes the version he is telling.
Taylor is a master at this sort of thing. I also think he is a very intelligent person in many respects. But this is something that I suspect still troubles him.

I don’t even think he’s that intelligent. I think he’s just flicked through a thesaurus a few times, has picked up a few ‘long words’ and that makes him stand out from the average footballer.2
