From the press conference, Lyle came on on Tuesday to say his goodbyes...
Reported in at least one of the Wednesday tabloids, apparently: Taylor was "applauded out" by his former team-mates.
Hmm. I'm glad that we fans take a rather different view of it all.
If true, then perhaps it shows that the players, understanding his position, are able to take a mature, detached view on his decision.
The best post on this thread.
In life we should try and understand another view even if you don't agree with it.
No problem with that at all.......if he had at least stuck to his contract. He hasn't & therefore any discussion around different points of view end there.
Self centred, egotistic, narcissist, don't wish him any harm, but a complete *wat in my humble opinion, type of character who disapears when things get tough and not going his way. Better off without him.
I am surprised that finances in Scottish football generally especially post Covid allow a (relatively) big money offer to be made and committed to.
I’d have expected a more secure offer to be from the Championship where TV money is greater.
Curious to see where he does end up / which club is willing to splash the cash when no one knows what matchday revenue will be for a little while.
A championship club would probably want a proven championship goal scorer if they were to commit to decent money. Lyle missed a chunk of the season through injury, probably hasn’t scored that many goals in the championship from open play or set pieces other than penalties (anybody know the number ?) and hasn’t exactly shown that a contract means that much by not playing to the end of it. Would you splash the cash on him ?

From 29th he can get his dream move - any more rumours of where the snakey cnut is heading. I saw over the weekend he was playing golf with Charlton’s physio - that would me up a little.
Think his contract with CAFC officially expires today? I'd expect we'd find out about his new club this week if he had the big move lined up as claimed.

If he hasn't, there is no way we should be entertaining this thing where the old club pay the July wages, if a player who left in June hasn't signed for anyone.
Personally, I think we should have been fining him two weeks wages, every week, since he downed tools.
I wonder if Norwich might sign him. They are coming down, will have parachute payment and I can see Pukki staying in the Premier League.
i cant see rangers paying him 26k a week although they could probably pay him a mill/2 mill signing on fee, and that will set him up for life if hes sensible, i never once commented or was pissed off at him not signing an extension but the refusal to play in junes games wound me up and refusing to train over fear of injuries etc - its a shit attitude - tbh we done alright without him 2 wins and 6 points on the board.
Rangers would be the perfect move for him. Big fan base who will adore him, easier League, reduces chances of injuries, chance to test himself in Europe, has played in Scotland before, will score loads and earn even more.
