  • But remember this a wage structure implemented by Roland.

    if we are ever going to compete in this division and try and reach the premiership we will have to start signing better players and pay better wages.
    if we persist with the current wage structure we will always be fighting relegation.JoshAddick said:
    Give Taylor the 25k a week on a 2 year deal, 2.6 mill for a proven scorer/good player at this level is nothing in 2020.
    Not that simple unfortunately. Would ruin our whole wage structure

  • Josh Cullen has done nothing above league one apart from a couple of decent months with us ,
    He’s injury prone as well
    League One next year for him , wibble wibble wibble 
    Don't prod the sleeping bear.

    Is that a euphemism?
  • Not too bad then... the Fulham game being cancelled has come at the right time
  • Better than I expected tbh seeing as Bowyer said it didn't look good.

    What wage structure?  What is ESI’s wage structure then?

    Can we re-employ Roger Firth?
  • Who is Roger Firth & when was he employed by Charlton?

    Oi! Who you calling a bear?
  • Bit bored of it all now, he will be offered a new contract ( a better offer than Roland’s ) and he may or may not accept if he doesn’t then may aswell go now so we can get a bit of coin and better than having a want away player, he isn’t proven at this level due to injuries - I don’t doubt that he is a good player but he isn’t proving so would be a big punt by any of the other championship clubs.

    I actually know roger really well, grew up with his kids. Nice bloke and I'd have taken the 20 grand aswell to be fair 🤣

    Personally unless we get a massive bid, I'd keep him. There's always the chance that he'll re-resign in the summer anyway, and even if he doesn't his goals and play will be essential to keeping us up. I don't believe he's the sort to sulk for 4 months if we don't sell him, and in some ways he'd benefit most from going on a free anyway, and will want to impress suiters

    Keeping Bauer until the summer didn't work out too badly last season...
    100%.  We are not in the position that we could turn our noses up at a player who, on form and uninjured  is a nightmare for opposing sides and a wonderful player to watch. If he can come back and stay uninjured...

    Taylor hasn’t responded to ESIs offer by the deadline they gave, so we’ll be listening to offers - though he’s not on the transfer list.
  • So how long did he have to look at the offer the few days they’ve owned the club or before that ? 
    ESI and Lyle are playing with fire here ... 
    can see it from both points of view ESI need to know where they stand cos they don’t want him leaving last minute.com and Lyle wants to see what’s out there so he can maximise his earnings .

  • Tbh I’d say Lyle knows exactly what’s out there on offer already and knows he can do better, so I guess we all move on. 
  • Think he will run down his contract again.
    Need to wake up and let it sink in 1st. Great start to the day

  • What a joke. I hope or salary offer was a good one. If not, why not?

    If this is the case we need to draw a line and move on quick, get him out and get someone in, a demotivated Taylor is no good in a relegation battle. 
  • Taylor IMO has done enough for a decent 3 year deal, he’s a proven goal scorer and doesn’t rely on his pace (get a quick one alongside him). He must be an absolute nightmare to mark.

    also don’t underestimate his effect on the club/fans he’s had since being here, he’s a real talisman...losing him would be akin to Yann going  

    would be a huge mistake to let him go IMO. I hope he signs a long term deal along with the management team...now that would be a real statement of intent


    I disagree partially

    We should not be offering a 29yr old a 3 yr deal 

    It is not a huge mistake to let go someone who is not as commited as he should be to staying here, and The comparison with Yann is also wrong as Lyle has not refused to play in a competive match like Yann did



    And it was a massive mistake not to pay Yann his worth as this will be now 
    you can’t buy his like without a load of luck for less than a few million 
    Without knowing the offer it's impossible to know if it's a mistake or not! What if this is not about money but Taylor just wants a stab at the Prem? Something we simply can't offer.
  • Big fan of that. Wanted us to keep Taylor but he’s clearly got no interest in staying with the club. 
  • So ESI don’t own the training ground yet?
