    Little control? Surely he has full control of the games he's contracted to play ffs.
    Exactly. He's been told by his new club not to play all day long. Cant have been too many messages of support from Charlton fans i wouldnt think

    I'm sure the FA would have something to say about that, if true.
    Exactly, as long as pre contract agreements have existed players have, to my mind at least, fulfilled their obligations to the club currently playing them or the club and player have both agreed to terminate things early. 

    The FA won't do anything as I doubt anything is written down but if the club signing him have pressurised him to refuse to play for the current club that breaks down another fragile remaining layer of morality in football.

    That tweet or post is a load of bollocks, he has complete control. To the point he made the decision not to fulfil his contractual obligation of playing football if fit. 

    Aside from that, football isn't that black and white. It's an emotional game for the people that make football the cash cow it is for those that seem intent on destroying the game, it's also massively about character and mental fortitude in the same way test cricket is. I guarantee successful teams that have won stuff and compete contain changing rooms full of people willing to fight for the man next to them even if they don't like them. Taylor now falls well out of that bracket for me and I'd be very wary of him if I was about to become a teammate of his 
  • Still no apology. 
  • I look back and wonder how Taylor would have fared with Billy Bonds, Jack Charlton, Dave Mackay or Tony Adams as his captain.

    Well he’s got Chris Solly

    Not if the instruction is delivered unofficially in a way that is deniable. Football is full of dishonesty. Stealing players, especially young players is done by them all. They promise money/cars for the parents etc... Football is run by immoral people, but they don't publicise this aspect.

    I should have said if true and provable.
    On your last point, I agree - oh shit, hang on ....

    Probably got flowers from the same bloke who sent some to Katrien
    My memory is fading but that wasn't @cabbles was it? 😉

  • Bollox to him, solly and davies - i'm under no illusion that footballers do anything other than what's good for their career and paycheck and haven't since i was about 11 years old so not surprised at all. They could have made a different decision and they could have been welcomed back to the club in years to come - they haven't and they won't be so that's that. Out of all of them i think its Solly who has let himself down the most. For the extra year or so he may play at some shit level he's thrown away years and years of good will.

    Johnny Williams and Sir Chris P are not to be tarnished with the above. Solly has really let himself down there 
  • Lyle will never truly understand the love of the game that supporters have. 

    He may love playing, but he's said it several times he is not a football fan.

    I wish he could do more for us, but he chooses not to. He had the opportunity to achieve a status of greatness. 

    Maybe alongside Kermorgant. Instead he's going to end as a Parker.

    No, the stuff Kables sent her resulted in a restraining order

    @cabbles he just wanted her as a hostage to become an admin.

    Didn't you know? @cabbles held a torch for her and he was broken hearted when she knocked him back😉.

    Ah, it's coming back to me now, I seem to recall someone else sent her flowers after she got some stick on a train back from Watford after we suffered a humiliating defeat there.

    Seen on lyles insta stories that he shared a video of Chris Dickson implying that the media are using race to portray the lyle story negatively, whilst ignoring that Solly isn't playing. Annoying that they are using the race card when the reason it is portrayed this was is because Lyle is/was our best player whilst Solly is now a bench warmer at best
    If Taylor signs for Fulham the "There's only 2 greedy bastards" will be interesting
  • He must be having sleepless nights all of a suddent about the social life in Glasgow or Galatasary. 
  • Did ‘race’ even cross anyone’s minds when considering this sorry, pathetic debacle?

    Almost seems to be a default position now for some to play the race card as a way of deflecting away from the central issue.
  • I'll find it so funny if he ends up at Rangers, playing a worse standard than he is now

    He might want to experience living abroad to be fair.

    Absolutely. It would be delivered by his agent. Verbally. But persuasively. After all, agent will trouser 250k or more if deal goes through, but not if injury were to scupper it (not that I believe that to be likely, he was injured in his last AFCW game, FFS)
  • What’s happened!? I’ve only just woken up... I was too busy watching a blank TV screen last night... did you know the birds chirp at 5am...?
  • Plenty of other clubs fans giving him a bit of stick on that twitter post. His reputation has taken a bit of a knock from this, but I’m sure he’ll make himself the victim soon enough. Really has gone from hero to zero quickly. Just seeing his face pisses me off.

    A bit like poor old Leuth will feel when Naby finally leaves?  :smile:

    That is because Lyle thinks he is smart 
    when in fact he is not that smart or clever at all 😂
  • Like to know these teammates that are supporting him during this traumatic time for him?

    He's intelligent as footballers go, the bar however isn't always set that high. Bradley Pritchard would smoke him at University Challenge.
