Change of circumstances, even if we was in league one mid table before his contract ran out and he refused to play but we was at least safe and he bizarrely didn't want to risk injury.
I'd personally still think...bit weird. What an absolute wanker.
The money will be, would imagine he's at least doubled what he was on with us, probably more.
So he goes from being very rich to very very rich.
Yes he gets richer but I wouldn't say it's life changing money when he already has a comfortable life anyway.
It could easily be going from something like £6k a week to £25k a week. Over a three year contract that'll make a real difference to his life in the future. It'll likely be his only big contract of his career and he's probably not going to stay in football when he retires given he only sees it as a job.
Not defending what he did of course, at the very least he should have played the three games in June, but I can see why he'd describe it as life changing.
Probably reading too much in to it but players like Bonne, Pearce and Williams haven’t reacted to Taylor’s post on Instagram, makes you think if they’re the ones who are pissed with his attitude. Only a few younger players and ex players have actually reacted to it wishing him well.
If that's a dig at CAFC then he needs to remember how Bowyer supported him at Peteboro when he took that awful penalty that ultimately cost the club a spot in the autos.
He also needs to realise that Charlton are a bigger club than HTFC!!!

I appreciate you're comment is a bit tongue in cheek, but I would say us and Huddersfield are around the same level, so while Grant may now be in a higher league etc, he's hardly setting the world alight enough for a 'bigger and better' dig.
I don’t think anyone is annoyed he didn’t sign another contract - it’s the refusal in playing in games that he was contracted to do so and condemning us to relegation.
As for grant - the fella has always been a bit of a dick imo
any Charlton fan wishing Taylor well - is also a bit of a dick.
For me personally I hope he has an injury 1st game out
Please don't. The only reason to close a thread is because the content risks the integrity or existence of the forum, or if the content is already fully and singularly captured in another thread.
Anyone that doesn't like the principle or content of a thread can simply not read it. There are hundreds of threads on this forum that I don't read because the content doesn't interest me. At no point would I consider asking the "mods" to close them down.
As with many others, I'm enjoying this thread and understanding different views on Taylor's actions and the implications for him and us.

I don't think any Charlton fans have actually wished him well. That is a lie.
We just got relegated. Our best player simply just casually out in the open refused to play. No one at the club would actually wish him well.
It's disgusting.
Only reason why you might not want to be a professional footballer would be the unbelievable amount of pressure seeing 15,000 people watching every move you make.
He didn't even have that problem.
He doesn't care about the club at all.
If he wasn't a moron he would have used the games as a tool to at least attempt to get match fit and improve himself before his next move.

From what I've seen just by briefly scanning the comments I can only see a few like andre green, Naby. Havent seen any from the likes of Pearce, Cullen, Williams which is good to see.
Then again didnt he say he got a standing applause from players and staff when he left sparrows lane. Looooool.
Lyle Taylor epitomises everything I dislike in the modern world - an attention serking p**ck who loves social media and 'pretends' to be everyone's friend. About as genuine as Matt Southall.
Enjoyed watching him play football but in terms of personality he seems a bit s***.
I have no respect for him and am glad that he's gone. Forest are welcome to him and his attitude.
I hope the 1st couple of penalties awarded to forest this season are taken by Taylor. Both get saved and the fan's turn on the prick.
I’d be surprised if Grabban gives up his penalties for Taylor. I’m sure we’ll see one of those pathetic scenes next season where they’re fighting over the ball for a penalty.

I know for a fact that many of the players were incredibly annoyed with him.
I am sure lots of them have the same reasoning, they understand more than most what a large contract towards the end of your career will mean, but they also do not agree with what he has done.

He still done wrong with his actions.

Yep, and I’m prepared to slap the first Lifer who posts ‘Guess who just scored for Forest’ on any upcoming match threads.
We’re still having discussions about Tony Watt to this day!
The point is he could have played out his contract and got that anyway.
He also needs to realise that Charlton are a bigger club than HTFC!!!

I haven’t seen any comments from current Charlton players, which surely shows what they think of him.
