Lyle Taylor - August 2025 signed for Chelmsford City (p295)

TBF I know a lot of Forest fans from living down this neck of the woods and they all became pretty disillusioned with Hughton so not sad to see him go, however I think there are much wider issues they are concerned with around the overall running of the club at the moment. 

However I think all of them would be pretty happy if Lyle also made true on his promise of 'Getting out of here'.All of them describe him as a waste of space.

I don't watch much of Forest other than highlights so not sure if the step up has proved to much, whether it's just not worked out for him or whether it truly has been an issue with the manager's tactics and maybe he could come good under whoever takes over.

I disliked what he did to this club as much as every other fan but he was a proper quality player throughout his time here and I thought he'd be an instant success at Forest. In his defence he won't be the first or last player signed on big money at that club who hasn't worked out, if Arter is earning 37k a week at Forest does anyone have any idea what Lyle is rumoured to be on? Surely it's more?

Taylor is on £15k a week at Forest. At least he is according to this. https://salarysport.com/football/sky-bet-championship/nottingham-forest/

Arter is ex PL which will bump up his salary level

.

Dropped today and they’re winning already…..prick

He's one to talk

Amazing how much he changes when confident/cocky/scores a goal. 

That's actually quite funny, but Lyle wouldn't get the irony of it all!!!! I inadvertently caught a bit of MOTDX on Friday night. Was shocked to see that Taylor was featured. It had nothing to do with football though, although he did witter on abt getting forest "back where they belong" etc. It was about his cancer fundraiser and dyeing his hair. Charlton got a mention as a boys team all dyed their hair pink a few years ago. They showed some good pics of the kids. Taylors gaff looks annoyingly plush. Out in the countryside and he had a couple of llamas in a field out back! Tosser.

I can't imagine a team away from London buying into all his crap. He's like a lesser version of Anthony Joshua.....flat track bully, cocky and boastful, then suddenly the world's most humble person ever. Choose who you want to be.

Ahhhhhh.....so that's where he gets his new Barnet ideas from........

Haha...he did actually say that too! The llamas weren't dyed pink though.

A step up from that dreary estate in Ebbsfleet where he used to live then

Unfortunately, yes.

It’s annoying because he’s actually an intelligent bloke who can express an opinion and is one of the few footballers who can be interesting to listen to when talking.

And he’s also a very good footballer on his day.

But I don’t think even Scott Parker will be looked upon as disappointingly as Taylor after what happened. 

There’s a very good chance we would still be a Championship club had he not done what he did. 

Agreed.

I'm not sure I've ever been more disappointed in the actions of a Charlton player.

Is he though?  I mean I’m not saying he’s stupid, but intelligent?  I think he’s just loud and outspoken in most cases.  And throws a few big words in here and there.

That aside, I can’t help but laugh at the antics with the Preston player.

I do think he is intelligent. But that doesn’t mean I agree with the decisions he made regarding the way he left us - because I am a fan.

A footballer may look at what he did and say “He was pretty brave, but look where he is from a monetary perspective now”

He is well spoken, delivers his point well and is thoughtful in the way he communicates. Doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with him all the time or that all his decisions are correct.
