noone knows, nothing new. Both sides debating he should be given the Lyle Taylor treatment or still be a club legend.Vincenzo said:Has he retired or summat?
One day we may know but currently unable to answer the retirement questoin, i'd say 95% yes but a guess as nothing announced0 -
@Ollywozere Now that the transfer window is shut, is there any chance of providing that update on Chris and why he refused to play at the end of last season?

I thought he did, my mistake if he didn't. This is exactly why an update is needed. Far too much confusion.paulie8290 said:

He refused to play after the restart didn't he? Bowyer said so himself:paulie8290 said:

"Lyle has said he is not going to play because of the risk of injury. Chris Solly said the same. And Davis, who is on loan from Birmingham, said he does not want to come back and play games."6 -
I THINK you are being pedantic above as Solly did not refuse to play at the end of the season. His contract ended 30th June so technically was a free agent for the last 9 games of the season. Whether the club would have extended his contract for 9 games is currently unknown.paulie8290 said:

He refused to extend his contract until the end of the season. So LB did not play him in the games he was eligible to play(until end of June). It could be argued that he did not refuse to play.0

Where has this been said? He refused to play in the 3. Otherwise Bowyer wouldn't have said that Solly dittoed TaylorDansk_Red said:He refused to extend his contract until the end of the season.

Its not my information to give away and things may still be ongoing. But I know that someone on this thread has got it right with what happened - the story thats been put out is just one side of it though so is going to paint Chris in a bad lightKentishAddick said:

As we've seen this summer with Charlton, its not always wise to make statements until everything has been cleared up hence why I reckon Chris is still silent on the matter4 -
So Solly stays quiet about it all & therefore he can't be tarred with Taylors brush.ForeverAddickted said:

Doesn't work like that for me. If you are innocent you'd be shouting about it from the rooftops to defend yourself. Until Solly comes out to contradict what Bowyer said then I'm afraid he is guilty by association.13 -

Cant say I’m too surprised that you assume the worst case scenario though. That is your M.O. after all.11 -
Just for good order, with Dazzlers ITK list, could you point us to the post beforehand .ForeverAddickted said:I know that someone on this thread has got it right with what happened
I’m afraid after the event won’t suffice.
Thanks in advance 👍6 -
Bowyer has already said Solly didn’t want to play. What more is there to say ?12

Because you've only heard Bowyer's side of eventsMrOneLung said:Bowyer has already said Solly didn’t want to play. What more is there to say ?
If you were Solly and have been potentially docked wages or even dragged through the mud which you feel wasnt fair or right... What are you going to do?1 -
Honour the contract that you signed?ForeverAddickted said:

Why is this conversation still rumbling on. The same fans who complain about a player like Solly, or Taylor not honouring their contract - or Doughty believing he should get a move away - don't have a word to say when a player from another club does the same to join us.

Seems we’re splitting hairs here. Players contracts ended at the end of June. After that CS was a free agent. However. To enable the season to finish, it was the norm for clubs to extend contracts for those last nine games ? The vast majority were happy with this to allow the season to finish. The club had no alternative to finish their games. They needed players. Now contractually CS might not have broken any rules but as far as I know he was fit and up until 30th June should have been available. The club needed him yet for reasons only known to him and LB he choose not to help the club finish the season. That to me says he let us down. If there’s another side to this I might change my mind but at this point based upon my current understanding I’m going to stick with CS letting us down.9

Go public& tell you side of the story. It's a bit like being questioned and going "no comment". If it were me & what was said was a load of bollox then I'd stand up clear my name.......not lay low & say nothing.ForeverAddickted said:

Because thats the angle that suits them
I pray you never go on Jury Service, you'll hear one side of the argument, claim the person is guilty and want to go home1 -
Or you'd be seeking legal advice, especially if you've had wages docked when they shouldnt have been?golfaddick said:

Solly would be playing now if the Cobblers hadn't stuffed the Grecians back in June.
I heard he'd was happy to commit to 30th June but not for the additional six games. LB then dropped him in it by adding his name to the Taylor and Davis quote without clarification.
Get the feeling LB can be stubborn and not to be crossed.7 -
Fortunately in court, they present both sides of the story. It just seems odd not to have heard the 'other' side to this.ForeverAddickted said:

I was wondering if it was something very personal. But if so, I don't think Bowyer would have said it the way he did.
Just seems odd not to have had some kind of explanation after being told he didn't want to play. If Bow hadn't said anything, we might have just assumed he wasn't picked and been none the wiser.4 -
Yeah I think Bowyer has the touch of Curbishley about him in that senseAddickted said:Solly would be playing now if the Cobblers hadn't stuffed the Grecians back in June.

Didnt Solly say at a Bromley Addicks meeting that he thought Bowyer was very honest as a Manager?
At the same time I think Bowyer has a lot to learn still and will still make the occasional mistake
Neither of them are perfect1 -
Its the one thing that baffles me to be honest.. I can only presume its not been resolved on Solly's side yetPrincessFiona said:

At Chris Sollys age if he had come out and said I’m worried about those last six games because if I get injured I’m not going to get picked up by another club for another year of playing which is what I want. I would understand that. I would still feel he left us in the lurch a bit but I would understand it more. I even see Taylor’s viewpoint. Possibly last big move and he wanted to secure his future. Still let us down but I understand it. With CS ?Addickted said:Solly would be playing now if the Cobblers hadn't stuffed the Grecians back in June.
