Someone on twitter lat night was saying he was telling his own fans to f$%k off last night and making himself all unpopular again.
Hard to work out if he is like this because he is annoyed with how things have gone since he left us or if he no longer cares because he has made his money and is in self-destruct mode. Strange really
He’s going to wake up one day and realise he’s wasted his career. He’s the opposite of Bonne in many ways. I’m astonished Bonne has made a career as a professional footballer despite having no real talent or attributes. Taylor has wasted the talent and attributes he has and not achieved nearly as much as he could of.

Has he wasted it? Realistically he was a bit of a journeyman player who had a great spell with us and then went off and earned a couple of million at Nottingham Forest meaning he probably doesn't need to work again for a while. BUT he's opinionated and pretty erudite so I fully expect him to be on Talksport in the future winding people up and generating calls and income for them.

Agree with this. Honestly can’t see him doing his coaching badges after he finishes and will be happy picking up a few pay cheques for spouting off on whatever platform will have him. I won’t be listening.

If all he wanted from football was money, then you'd have to say he didn't waste his career.
I'm sure some footballers want a little bit more than that. Like to be remembered with at least an ounce of fondness. And you can have both, just don't be a snake.

I think that's a more philosophical question though ? it's about ability though IMO, If iwas a league 1 player i would constantly be looking for the best deal as the fans wont pay my kids needs 10 years after i retire. However if i was premier league player i can afford the luxury of being revered.

Not sure I can agree that being remembered with an ounce of fondness is a luxury. We've had plenty of players move on to better pastures who would be welcomed back on Charlton TV for instance. All you have to do is not be a snake.

100% its a luxury, if he did break his leg in the matches after Covid and never played again were you going to feed his kids ? I doubt it. I understand why he did what he did but that doesn't mean I like. Lyle Taylor (just like Chris Solly, yet he seems to get a pass. I know he wasnt playing but its still the same principle) did what was right for Lyle Taylor and if i was in his position and I played for a team (or worked for a company) I didnt care about id do the same and so would 99% of people here for a life changing move, id also understand why fans (or people who worked for that business who think i left them in the lurch) would dislike me but id have to take it on the chin.

Solly gets a pass because he gave us many years, he wasn't a match winner, he wasn't playing regularly at the time and he had been told he wasn't getting renewed. Very different scenario from Lyle

We were in unorecedented waters and nobody knew how it was going to pan out. Solly had been told he was surplus to requirements. If your employer told you that would you honestly have given 100% as we went into Covid. Solly had a very young family at the time so why should he risk anything.

No difference to Taylor then ? He had a family, why should he risk it ? he knew he wasn't going to be here next year. He knew we werent going to match the offers from other teams. As said I think we all know why Solly gets a pass and Taylor doesn't if we are all honest, Solly is seen as one of the good ol boys and "one of us".

Chris Solly gave his knees up for this club, wasn't playing and wasn't going to influence any games going forward. If we had Taylor for just a few more games, who knows where we might be now. One more crucial goal and we would have stayed in the championship that season. Solly wasn't going to ever provide that

I honestly really, really struggle to understand any Charlton fan who can empathise with Lyle Taylor's actions. It's one thing to know that money has sucked the soul out of the game and it's another support the worst parts of those changes. When your star player can refuse to play in your relegation battle because he's worried he might break a leg before his next big increase? People start supporting that type of behaviour and saying it's OK, and I have to wonder how much worse football can get...
He’s going to wake up one day and realise he’s wasted his career. He’s the opposite of Bonne in many ways. I’m astonished Bonne has made a career as a professional footballer despite having no real talent or attributes. Taylor has wasted the talent and attributes he has and not achieved nearly as much as he could of.
Has he wasted it? Realistically he was a bit of a journeyman player who had a great spell with us and then went off and earned a couple of million at Nottingham Forest meaning he probably doesn't need to work again for a while. BUT he's opinionated and pretty erudite so I fully expect him to be on Talksport in the future winding people up and generating calls and income for them.
If all he wanted from football was money, then you'd have to say he didn't waste his career.
I'm sure some footballers want a little bit more than that. Like to be remembered with at least an ounce of fondness.
I think that's a more philosophical question though ? it's about ability though IMO, If iwas a league 1 player i would constantly be looking for the best deal as the fans wont pay my kids needs 10 years after i retire. However if i was premier league player i can afford the luxury of being revered.
Being remembered with an ounce of fondness is a luxury...? Can't agree with that. We've had plenty of players move on to better pastures who would be welcomed back on Charlton TV for instance. All you have to do is not be a snake.
100% its a luxury, if he did break his leg in the matches after Covid and never played again were you going to feed his kids ? I doubt it. I understand why he did what he did but that doesn't mean I like. Lyle Taylor (just like Chris Solly, yet he seems to get a pass. I know he wasnt playing but its still the same principle) did what was right for Lyle Taylor and if i was in his position and I played for a team (or worked for a company) I didnt care about id do the same and so would 99% of people here for a life changing move, id also understand why fans (or people who worked for that business who think i left them in the lurch) would dislike me but id have to take it on the chin.
A) Lyle didn’t have kids at the time b) solly played 301 games, giving his all. He had 2 (from memory) bad injuries with us. I would say he was at high risk of injury and getting an injury during those games would have finished him.
C) the snake only had to play and then get his move to big school. Even if we went down and he left, the attitude towards him by the majority of Charlton fans would be completely different.

Solly gets a pass because he gave us many years, he wasn't a match winner, he wasn't playing regularly at the time and he had been told he wasn't getting renewed. Very different scenario from Lyle
Sure that's why Solly gets a pass. Lyle Taylor fired us to the championship then turned his back on us, we don't like him because of it but I don't understand why people cant understand why did it.
People understand why. People also understand that it was wrong

Hard to work out if he is like this because he is annoyed with how things have gone since he left us or if he no longer cares because he has made his money and is in self-destruct mode. Strange really
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him back at Wimbledon next season and they’d only want him back for sentimental reasons only.
plus, all Wimbledon I know defend him for doing what he did to us. That would change their view
BUT he's opinionated and pretty erudite so I fully expect him to be on Talksport in the future winding people up and generating calls and income for them.
I'm sure some footballers want a little bit more than that. Like to be remembered with at least an ounce of fondness. And you can have both, just don't be a snake.
I can understand them not playing the games after their contracts were up but the cockroaches refused to play games they were contracted for
both used the unique circumstances to be selfish dicks and in turn say fuck you to the club and the fans
b) solly played 301 games, giving his all. He had 2 (from memory) bad injuries with us. I would say he was at high risk of injury and getting an injury during those games would have finished him.
