Nothing to be with being a traitor. Stay or go. I wish him well either way, but this bollocks is just a distraction.0

I don’t think he’s playing games. He’s been given a contract offer and refused it. The club say it is still on the table, or words to that effect, and in the meantime he is our player.3

What bollocks, someone has randomly said there was an argument between Bowyer / Lyle, it happened over a week and a half ago but this is the first we've heard of itWheresmeticket? said:Nothing to be with being a traitor.

From the other aspect of loyalty you could argue that Lyle is simply wanting loyalty from the club for being an integral part of our promotionsirjohnhumphrey said:I don’t think he’s playing games.

He joined us when another club offered a better wage structure and signed with us on whatever promises / assurances Bowyer offered when they initially sat down together
He'll may think he deserves something more for believing in the club when no other players did
Just doesnt help that Brentford came in with a very tempting offer which has made everything a lot less simple than it should have been2 -
He wasn't working for someone else though, he was representing his country, a top honour that the club would have been proud of, he was hardly moonlight.Wheresmeticket? said:
If I injured myself working for someone else and was still supported through it, definitely....Stu_of_Kunming said:Even if injury was a known risk of your employment?
By rejecting the contract offer isnt that exactly what he's done?Wheresmeticket? said:
Absolutely. What I wouldn't do is dick around trying to negotiate a few extra quid causing problems all round. I'd thank the boss for the support and go or stay and do my job.Alwaysneil said:If someone offered to pay me £1.5m rather than £500k and then £5k extra a week and my job was going to end in 2-4 years I’d be taking the money no matter how much I liked my current boss.
As things stand he's doing his job and will leave when his contract expires. There's been no reports of him demanding more money or refusing to play.4 -

Who said he’s trying to negotiate? He has rejected the offer. What if he wants to go but we want to keep him until the summer?Wheresmeticket? said:

My comment was nothing to do with that reported argument. Calm down.ForeverAddickted said:

I'd stay and do my job until my contract finished, exactly like Lyle will, he'll put in a lot more effort than I would too!cafcfan1990 said:

In fact you should delete this comment, because whoever told you it is speaking total nonsense, and it just adds fuel to the fire to people who look for any reason to sound off on Taylor.FishCostaFortune said:

Distraction for who though? The player knows that if he doesn’t get a move / contract he wants them he will be free to go in the summer. Bowyer knows this too. Bowyer also happens to be in the same boat (although that will hopefully be sorted this weekend).Wheresmeticket? said:Nothing to be with being a traitor. Stay or go.

Not that easy, not everyone has contracts that expire. That was my point to the OP, Lyle can’t get up and leave like most employees.Stu_of_Kunming said:

everyones allowed to argue its healthy.Im sure arguments happen all the time in pro football changing rooms0 -
It was worse that an argument. Taylor asked Bowyer if the team could stop at McDonalds on the way home, Bowyer said they could but only if they smashed it up on the way out. Taylor took exception, as he doesn’t like violence, Bowyer ended up biting Taylor’s nose off and spitting it in to Solly’s face. Solly who was 40 yards away was so slow in trying to get out the way that he now has a fractured eye socket.tony1234 said:I’ve herd bows and taylor had a big argument at half time at Swansea17 -
It fucking did! Somebody said a friend of a friends friend posted it on twitter so it must be true.FishCostaFortune said:

Player does not look to leave but the club gets an offer they accept, then the clubs can get rid of a player........normally.FishCostaFortune said:

Loyalty is history, has been for years. It's a business.2 -
Exactly. Yet because footballers get paid lots of money to play a sport we all choose to follow and spend money on, the moment they choose to be selfish for their own needs, a section of fans jump straight on their backs.ElfsborgAddick said:

That’s right, he signed a contract for two years with no outs. That was his choice. Nobody made him do it. It was the best deal for him at the time. If he thought a big offer was coming along, he just needed to negotiate a release clause.cafcfan1990 said:

Also, this is a two way street, he can’t just walk away, but how many clubs are stuck with crap players. If it was the real world they’d just be sacked for poor performance.1 -
Watching Brentford atm demolish qpr I can't see how he would get in their side.3

Where's the loyalty when clubs cancel contracts or after a dip in form flog a player cheap?FishCostaFortune said:

Pretty pointless arguing it when he signed for us on more money after seeing out his contract at Wimbledon. Did we moan then that it was disrespectful to Wimbledon and that he owed Wimbledon for resurrecting his career?ElfsborgAddick said:
