Thoughts on Chris Solly not playing (Dec 20 - Page.6 signs for Ebbsfleet)

Just read that again (having read it when you first posted it) and again I will state that if Solly had been mis represented then why not just say so. His got his own voice & is old enough to right any wrongs. But once again he has decided just not to say anything.paulie8290 said:https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/4075394#Comment_4075394
@southamptonaddick its all on that page, everything I know
I'm sorry, I'm always of the mind that you should stand up & say your piece. Not like the "No Comment" interviews suspects give. If it were me I would be making very clear what happened.3 -
I appreciate what you've been told but it doesn't make any sense.paulie8290 said:https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/4075394#Comment_4075394

Bowyer didn't need an excuse not to play Solly as he wasn't playing anyway.
Plus if Bowyer blatantly lied that Solly refused to play why wouldn't Solly just come out and say that?

IF Solly and Taylor did exactly the same thing in June, what I disagree with is people treating them differently here. Just because one of them was more important to us than the other, it doesn't make their actions any different, and so far we've still had no explanation why Solly didn't play on until the end of the season. 6 months later. Until he comes forward and explains why, why should I assume that he's any different to Taylor?
After all if Aneke and Oshilaja both refused to play for us tomorrow because they had lucrative moves lined up in January, it would be just as inconsistent if we had 10 pages on here slagging Aneke off, but ignored Oshilaja because he's less important to the team1 -

Why should Solly be forced to explain himself, just because someone has lied about him.
If he is happy enough that enough people known the truth and eventually the truth will come out, and he is content with that for now then fair enough.
Chris Solly has always seemed a man of dignity and class, and he has friends at the club like Jacko, so there is always the possibility he is worried that there could be potential fall out on them or maybe even fall out on the club I:E fans turn on Bowyer which effects the players.
So maybe, just maybe he is being professional and waiting until the day Bowyer leaves the club whenever that is to finally reveal what happened6 -
Well you've turned on Bowyer. You've just called him a liar.4

So Bowyers a liar and someone who has said nothing is telling the truth.paulie8290 said:

Far too good for this league, but wish him good luck. Hope he gets a move in the January window.
Have feeling he might be cut out to be a coach/manager of some standing0 -
Solly talks about people at the club he has a lot of respect for being Keith Peacock, Steve Avory and Chris Parkes but no mention of Jacko. Undoubtedly he will rightly refer to the 11/12 era as the highlight of his career but Jacko was also part of that team and doesn't get a mention while Kermo also being a team mate did, but even with falling out with Bowyer surely he'd give Jacko a mention?paulie8290 said:

And isn't it also odd that this interview was originally going to be done on the club website but instead was run through the SLP.
Something really doesn't add up.3 -
The interview he done with the club was done and was stopped going out but senior management, which tell you its more they don't want certain facts to get out and disrupt the team than anything elseMartinCAFC said:

sounds to me as though bowyer rumbled both taylor and solly and threw them both under the bus - fair enough in my book1

Will it put Solly in a good light?paulie8290 said:
I have already said what I have been told that I was told by someone close to Chris and it was confirmed by someone who works at the club but I am not naming namessouthamptonaddick said:
If you know, definitively, what did happen please let us know because otherwise the speculation will continue.paulie8290 said:
I really hope when it comes out that he never actually refused to play, you take this back, because this is not the first time you have said this, despite being told many times this is not whay happenedgolfaddick said:Great player in his day but by last season he wasn't the same player. Didn't take players on & so invariably when he crossed the half way line with the ball his only real option was to pass sideways or backwards.
However, he let the team (and therefore its fans) down by not being available after June 30th. The season was still in progress so in my mind he basically worked to rules & decided that was it. Not acceptable in my book......either by him or Taylor. That's why both will get boo-ed, jeered & catcalled by the Golfie family any time they play against us.
And as someone has previously said......he says a lot in that article but didnt address that main issue. Poor form in my book.
Hopefully so.0 -
His contract finished after 3 games.addick1956 said:

I really couldn't care less about the ins & outs of it all. It was reported by Lee Bowyer that Taylor & Solly didn't want to play once the season re-started, which was in breach of their contracts. If that was wrong then both have had ample time & opportunity to say so. Neither have disputed it - with Taylor actually confirming the reasons why in an interview he gave a few weeks later. Solly's silence has been deafening.clb74 said:Why Is it football supporters think they have a divine right to know everything about players and thier club?5 -
Had a great debut for Ebbsfleet as a defensive midfielder despite their manager estimating he’s only 70% fit.

Got sent off today
I'd forgotten Solly was still at Ebbsfleet and hadn't been picked up by a higher club in January.3 -
Retaliated after a bad tackle. I'm sure there's plenty at that level.0

Agreed, higher club/level theory has been blown out the water. He's at his level now, especially when getting sent off.killerandflash said:Got sent off today

What went wrong then I wonder, I thought Solly had gone to Ebsfleet to get match fit in time for the January transfer window

Hard to get a contract at present and given his injury record I doubt clubs were queuing up. Plenty of players left high and dry.MattF said:What went wrong then I wonder, I thought Solly had gone to Ebsfleet to get match fit in time for the January transfer window3 -
Solly said that there were offers abroad but were not suitable and COVID made things difficult. It would be interesting to know who these clubs were.

Should go abroad, if next season is almost back to normal. Can't see him being offered a contract in the second tier of the top 3 leagues, or the next tier of quality Portugal/Belgium/Holland. Somewhere like Cyprus? I wonder how easy it is in Europe now we're outside EU.0

He'll be at Ebbsfleet next season as well, also taking on a coaching role
Quite a comedown really, considering he was at a Tier 2 club last season and now is in Tier 63 -

Glad to see karma working again like it did for Taylor.13 -
He’s playing for a team on his doorstep - with a young family he clearly puts some value on that and rightly so.killerandflash said:https://nonleaguedaily.com/ex-charlton-man-solly-commits-to-ebbsfleet/

he will have made a half decent amount in his career and never seemed to be overly flashy with money so won’t need to sustain some unrealistic lifestyle. His wife is his childhood sweetheart so isn’t going to run off with some other footballer - she’s not the traditional WAG.
I didn’t agree with his departure at the time but it’s history and I wish him all the best now.29 -

I know he's had his injury problems, but surely could get a league club. Whether it's a lack of confidence or self belief I don't know, but something is not right with Solly & I personally find his decline rather sad3
