    1 month and possibly only 1-2 games before his contract ends on 30 June.
    It doesn't matter if it's 1-2 or 8-9 games he will miss, he should make himself available to play in any game he is contractually obliged to if fit. 
  • I think Southhall must be his agent !

    Clubs only pay July wages if out of contract and without another club I thought I read somewhere. 

    Lyle will have another club contract from then I would assume hence not playing. Co-incidently whilst it leaves a sour taste right now, Lyle was part of the team that gave me a fantastic day at Wembley. I will always respect him for the way he got on with this season after Brentford move collapsed and gave his all. Lyle is good at 100%, I am sure he is great at 60/70/80% but if not fully committed as has the nagging worry then his head is not in it. Understandable but majorly disappointing for us as fans.

    Solly has been a fantastic servant for the club. His knee(?) injury has caught up with him and played less and less. Matthews has been a suitable deputy. I respect Chris's decision as if he did get another injury then us, and other teams, would not offer another contract. He is probably high risk due to previous history. I don't blame him. He probably will get another chance elsewhere so why risk it, especially if he knows he isn't getting abother contract (we don't know whats been said).

    For those saying about Lewis Page and Loans, Page needs to play to prove himself to other clubs if he isn't getting another contract here (who knows) and loanees have contracts at parent clubs hence injury issue not a problem.

    Bowyer has done a fantastic job and will do his best with the players wanting to play for Charlton.
  • Assuming his contract expires on June 30th, it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that Taylor actually ends up playing the last 5-6 games of the season with a different club. Maybe even one that we come up against (Brentford for example).
  • We are fooked - can’t see where goals would come from without him - hope I am wrong, but it’s just bad news after bad news at the moment

    I am almost certain that won't be allowed to happen. But it is the EFL so you know it might be a risk.
  • Furlough those that don't want to play and on top of that fine them, surely its breach of contract.

    The transfer window is closed - he could not play for another club this season.
  • It's obviously poor form that he's decided not to play. 

    Definitely in breach of contract for refusing to play before June 30th. However, I doubt the threat of a week or two without pay is going to affect him if he's agreed a decent contract elsewhere. 

    Over the last few weeks he's done the club a massive favour with his honesty. He's also been fantastic for 80% of the 60 odd games he's played for us. Shame it ends this way but I can forgive him. We're a joke of a club and we've only got ourselves to blame for yet another quality player walking away from the club for free come 1st July. 
  • Disappointed more by the news of Solly rather than Taylor to be honest although clearly Lyle is the bigger loss to the team.

    I'd like to hear from the players themselves and their reasons for not playing before making any judgement.
    If Solly is because of Covid I don't blame him one bit. I'm sure there will be many others refusing to step foot on the pitch in a few weeks time.

    If Solly is that worried about playing a few games (mainly from the bench), why would another club give him a contract for a whole year?
  • How do you know that there isn't a contract that has already been agreed?
    Even if he doesn't have a contract in place an insurance policy could be taken out by the club, in Lyle's favour, covering the earnings that he could expect to receive over the next three years following a move. 
    Of course, the club won't do that because it doesn't have proper leadership and doesn't have a pot to piss in. 
    Can't blame Lyle at all and I hope that he gets the move that his talent deserves. 

    Unless he’s moving to a foreign club I’m pretty sure he can’t sign anything (if that’s what you mean by “agreed”) with another English team until his contract with Charlton expires. 
  • If Solly is that worried about playing a few games (mainly from the bench), why would another club give him a contract for a whole year?
    Solly would likely end up playing in League One with a mid table club who would jump at the chance of having his experience on board. He wouldn’t make the same money, but it would be better than nothing at all.

  • Will we play a game before his contract expires at the end of June? 1 game maybe, 2 max.

    We'll possibly fine him wages for the weeks he refuses to play and that'll be that.

    If he's that disinterested, Bowyer is obviously better off planning for all games without him.
    If we're playing 2 games a week and starting 20th June, I'd expect us to play at least 3 games before the end of June.

    If he is refusing to play for no valid reason (and not wanting to get injured is absolutely not a valid reason) it is a repudiatory breach of contract. He should not be paid for June and his contract should be terminated with immediate effect.
    I reckon he’d be over the moon with that, could sign for his new club tomorrow and triple his wages a month early!
  • Early July Taylor playing for another club.

    Nobody is going to pay him a ton of money when he's a couple of months away from being able to play. He'll still have to wait a 6/8 weeks for a club to give him a deal. 
  • Early July Taylor playing for another club.
    The transfer window won't be open until the season finishes
  • Early July Taylor playing for another club.
    No. He won't be able to play until the transfer/registration period reopens.

    Yes true but i thought the 20th was only provisional and might move back a week?
