    Be interesting to see the fans reaction if he signs for Galatasaray and refuses to play at any point
    To be honest I doubt you would get away with it contractually at many other clubs regardless of what the fans might say/do.

    they can't force anyone to play

    Okay, if he attempted to refuse to play

    No, and I wasn’t suggesting anyone could. However they can sue you for breach of contract if you don’t fulfil your side of the bargain.

    Forest. Want Lyle Taylor. Free. Talks have begun. Keen on him for either division. Not done yet but ideal for what Lamouchi wants. From our old mate Nixon.
    Knew this was going to be Nixon due to the machine gun sentence approach!
  • I know Taylor isn't actually keen on playing football, but if he went to Forest he'd be on the bench as they have Grabban.

    To Lyle Taylor,  Just wondered how you are feeling seeing your former team mates trying desperately to avoid relegation. ... a situation you was actually part of until you decided you couldn't be bothered and walked out refusing to play.
    Yes i understand you have to consider your future and you would have left at the end of the season anyway but the least i would have expected was for you to have the decency to honour your contract.
    No doubt wherever you end up you will acquire another set of adoring fans who you will no doubt let down when you decide uve had enough and move on.
    Hopefully we will stay up but it will be no thanx to you. 
    From a very disappointed fan !

    The real damage was done earlier in the season when he was out for weeks after getting injured with Montserrat.  He didn't think twice about indulging himself in international football for a total no-hope team. Getting injured for them was fine when it's on somebody else's dollar.  Getting injured when it's his own money at stake? No way Lyle is sticking his neck out for that.
     
    Not really knowing the first thing about player contracts but could a team prepared to quadruple his wages be able to include some clause in his contract banning him from going to Montserrat on international duty?

    No, I don’t think you can stop a player playing for their national team

    Thought as much, just wishful thinking in my head I suspect.

    Think he's too proud of playing for Montserrat to do that.

    I think what he did will tarnish his reputation at any future club anyway, as he did become a bit of a "poster boy" for footballers downing tools. They'll love his goal scoring and play, but no more than that.

    He probably isn't bothered

    Guaranteed he won't be it's just a job, by his own admission and a means to an end.

    Money talks though, eh.  If they offered him the right package and said it was conditional on 'retiring' from what we have seen of his moral compass to date, he would say 'Where do I sign...' 

    Charlton did mess him around with contracts which I do have sympathy for.  What I don't have sympathy for is not fulfilling a contract and allowing the kids who adored him the ability to say goodbye in these last few games.  He has really let them down.

    All very true and I was maybe being a little tongue in cheek. If players susceptible to injury can sign pay as you play sort of contracts then maybe there's an opportunity for Lyle to pioneer a "play when I feel like it" contract.
  • The next club he goes too will forget about this as soon as he starts banging the goals in. Football fans are fickle. As Harry Redknapp said:

    "You go in and start winning football matches, they could take Saddam Hussein in there, they don’t give a monkeys do they.

    “If you start winning every week they’ll be signing ‘there’s only one Saddam’.”

    A bit like us singing 'There's only one Matt Mouthall', if only we knew then what was to follow 😡.
  • Now I am not one for conspiracy theories usually but I read something online and its got me thinking.

    We all know Mr Taylor does not really like football he has said it himself but he has also said previously there are a few people innthe game he is thankful to, and I am pretty sure one of those would ne the manager at Concord who gave him a chance after being released by Millwall and gave him the opportunity to earn all this money.

    Now this is where my conspiracy theory comes in, who was the manager at Concord at the time.............


    DANNY COWLEY

    the current Huddersfield manager and the team who will likely survive if we get relegated due to a lack of goals

    So what's your theory ?   :-)
    Maybe just maybe part of him thought if I dont play it will help the man who kick started my career survive in the Championship 
  • the injury sustained whilst fulfilling his hobby of playing for his international side ( a hobby he hasnt been able to enjoy until playing with us ) is what gets me i also am quite annoyed that he sat on his ass since march earning full pay whilst a lot of people in the country are struggling to make ends meet. 

    the not extending his contract i get it and why hes done it - but its a pussy move and i hope he gets abused for it. 
  • I know Taylor isn't actually keen on playing football, but if he went to Forest he'd be on the bench as they have Grabban.



    Did no one notice Lyle Taylor can play down the middle or out Wide ? Just like Karlan Grant.

    Blimey, some bitter folk on here.
    Never realised we had so many bunny boilers.
    I prefer DaveMehmet doing his sex gags than becoming Chief inspector Dreyfus with a nervous twitch.

    I knew I was Charlton till I die, but not that it was a cult and we hate like religious zealots.

    Now what was the recipe for that Rabbit !

    I know its open season but try to keep at least some semblance of rationality. No footballer wants to be injured, ever. Taylor had missed out on a big money move in summer yet despite predictions was on fire for us before he went there. He might possibly have thought that RD might sell him in Jan, either way the shop window was Charlton, not Montserrat. Further Taylor had a very jnjury free career, it must have been traumatic for him because initially it had not even seemed anything big. And he shared a club with Lewis Page so he could see how things can go. I am not at all condoning his behaviour now, but I am sure the injury influenced him. Even more, it influenced his agent, who can rot in hell.

  • Its all academic and his contract was up at the end of June but our chronic lack of goals just makes me more and more pissed off with Taylor

    The thing is, even if he'd played up to the end of June that'd have given us a bit more flexibility with our forward line, and a few more goals to help keep the goal difference up.
    One of the many changes needed in the wake of this pandemic is to make it a clear breach of contract dor a player to refuse to play without valid reason; and the financial penalty to be applied also to the player's agent. That'll stop any kind of repeat, dead.
