One year at big school, now heading back to the infants...
With a pocket full of cash which he wouldn't have had if he stayed with us
Which is what it's all about. Taylor will not be in the slightest bit concerned. He set himself up for life joining Forest. Good luck to him.
Life is not all about money.
A journeyman footballer's career is short. Why should he put Charlton over his bank balance?
Because he was contracted to do so. It's been gone over a thousand times but in reality at the end of every season there are hundreds of players across the country who's contracts are finishing but okay to the last minute of the last game as they are contracted to do so and are professionals. Taylor chose not to fulfil his contract let alone extend it for a month or so to finish the season.
And the above was after the club had paid him well for a big chunk of the season whilst he was injured. We acted honorably, he didn't.
He is early the type that won't care but it does not make what he did right and simply saying "he got a big bank balance" doesn't change that.

Be another hundred thousand times before we stop talking about him

I have never contested that what he did was wrong, I purely understand why he did it.

I understand why a mugger chooses an old lady for a victim. Obviously don't agree with it but it's the way of the world and it is a bit naive to think otherwise.
Starts today against Coventry - Plenty of time for a move to happen but be surprised if he heads to Birmingham (as per the ever reliable Alan Nixon) if he's getting starts for Forest
There’s no doubt Lyle was a quality player for us, I know a few forest fans from living down here and don’t think it’s worked out for him so far so maybe a reunion with a manager who can clearly get the best out of him might be a good move.
Football operates in a totally different world of course but can’t be many industries where someone could walk out on their manager at such a crucial time and leave them high and dry yet still be sought after by said manager a couple of years later however.

i wonder if he’s off to join David Beckhams team out there. I always said he’s going to end up in MLS - probably do well there too
International training camp or to sign for a mls team are the reasons that spring to mind
Being played at Fort Lauderdale
