    Taylor refused to play out his contract with us, when we were on the brink of relegation. What he did was worse than Parker, worse than Defoe, worse than any player who's left us in my lifetime.

    Can't get my head round how any Charlton fan can have a single positive word to say about him.

    As soon as he saw the proposed offer by the agent via likely weekly wages on the table, he embarrassingly did not give a shit about anything else, in regards to football and career, in general.
    It then became a locked door and his emotional connection to the club completely vanished.

    Actions speak louder then words. He didn't give a shit about us.

    It is embarrassing. The loyalty just goes out the window in a split second.

    Are we all just slaves to money?

    We all want to be rich and we are all internally power hungry. At least most of us are, but I eventually start to hate the concept of the psychologically magnetic attachment to £££++

    I think it narrows the concept of the fact that we are social animals who stay loyal and look out for each other.

    Life is short. Don't just be a self centered asshole. It won't get you anywhere. It won't help anyone and you probably won't be happy.

    It's because a (football career)life is short, he did what he did.  Why should he care about us?  No reason at all.

    He was happy to take his wages after getting injured whilst on international duty.

    All in the contract.
  • 2 goals (1 a pen ) for everyone’s favourite ex Addick in a World Cup qualifier today against Antigua and Barbuda, ended  2-2 
    The sort of game where covid restrictions actually have no impact on the size of the crowd.
    Only if the size of the crowd would normally be 0. This is not a restriction, it is an interdiction.

    There are ways to do things... he chose to be a total and utter selfish f***, he is an arrogant self centred mutt. 

    I hope him falls into a huge bucket of sick on his birthday 
    What would be worse - cold sick or warm sick?

    I will happily join in sending some from me if it can be arranged.

    The contract that ended in June, and he decided not to.

    3 games, but I will always understand why he did it, BUT he was wrong to do it.
    Call it player power in football.

    So you are saying that any player coming to the end if their contract can just refuse to play  ??  We have quite a few out of contract atm - what would you say if Pearce, Aneke & Shinnie all just decided not to play from now on as they have lucrative contracts lined up with Championship teams for next season. 

    I'm still astounded that we, as a club, didnt make more of it to be honest. If it were me I'd have named Taylor on the team sheet for every game he was contracted for & take the field with 10 men if needed be. I'm pretty sure that wouldnt have gone unnoticed. No idea if we fined him  - I would have fined him 100% of his wages & then see him try to fight that in court ! No work = no pay.
     
  • Did he actually refuse to play the games he was contracted for?
  • To resolve the issue all the owners would have had to do would be to insure Taylor for the last few games for a couple of million quid. Taylor guaranteed his payout, plays in the last  few games we stay up and everyone is happy. Taylor rides into the sunset as a Charlton Hero, TS takes over a champo club. 

    Unfortunately the owners at the time had spent that money on range rovers and a 26k flat rental . 

    There is only one group to blame in this whole scenario.........

    I have never said that it is alright for a player to refuse.
    My comment is very clear to understand.

    Football contracts only  end in June because that's after the end of the season, not because that month is special

    Due to the unique circumstances of Covid, the season was delayed and hence finished after June. I've got no sympathy with players refusing to extend to the actual end of the season in July, as they aren't going by the SPIRIT of football contracts. 

    Here, as with so many aspects of football, there was a massive lack of leadership by the FA, but also the PFA, who should have insisted that all player contracts would be extended until the actual end of the season.

    Probably wouldn't have worked out if we'd stayed up. Relegation may in fact have saved us. 
  • Why we still talking about him?.
    Because we support Charlton and it's what we do.

    Be ashamed of yourself.
  • Said it before but he'll go the same way as Ricky Holmes 

    Peaked with us in a journeyman career, will flop at Forest, probably end up injured will score 5 goals at most next season as can't see him being on penalty duties. And if he does take them you can guarantee he'll miss one with that slow walk up and won't have the credit in the bank with the fans to get away with it.

    Probably be back in League One in a year's time.
    Nice to see I was being generous with my prediction he'd only score 5 at most. Scored 4 in 39 in the end.

    Might even be back in League One too if Forest decide to get rid of him.

    1 of those 4 was a penalty.

    Turns out he actually scored 5 as he also scored 1 in the FA Cup - not a penalty.

    Do you even support Charlton? Don't go to matches, don't watch the streams, basically siding with Taylor. Don't get it.
    At least I don't have Croydon as a username.
    Do you support palice?
    It is an unfortunate user name. He taking the piss out of you - get on a step ladder and stand up to him.
