Football contracts might have said 30 June, but what that means in SPIRIT is until after the end of the season, as that's how football contracts are written.superclive98 said:

Garbage. Yes he should have been offered a new deal. But to refuse to play when we desperately needed arguably our best player and talisman is unforgivable. He was contracted and fit. Refusing to play was inexcusable and to bang on about needing to feel loved now, a veiled dig at cafc fans, shows what kind of person he is. Hopefully he retires soon so we can stop talking about him.superclive98 said:
What was unforgiveable was the fact that he wasn't offered by us the contract that his talent and performances for us deserved. If he had have, instead of being pissed about he would have signed and no doubt, played in those games.Todds_right_hook said:
He refused to play in 9 games for us. 4 goals would have kept us up with games to spare.superclive98 said:
4 goals in 9 games in a struggling Birmingham side, including 1 penalty.Valleysarr said:He couldn’t get a game at Forest and now at Millwall of the north knocking in the odd goal mainly pens.Twat
still unforgivable and always will be
I know some people will say that he was under contract until 30 June 2020 and should have at least played until that date. Because of the bizarre circumstances surrounding that season I don't agree with that. Even if he had agreed to play until 30 June nobody knows how much his heart would have been in his performances or how good or bad he would have played. As it was, we won two and drew one of the three games that we played by that date.
It seems to me that the way he left just gives some people that extra and easy excuse to attack a former player. Not that most other players, who left under normal circumstances to try to better themselves, avoid the accusations of being rubbish or money-grabbing, or both.
Him talking about needing to feel loved now has nothing to do with cafc fans and all to do with his situation at Forest. Too many seem to think that the world revolves around SE7, it doesn't.
He was contracted until 30 June, so could have affected one result. If he had got injured, possibly badly and was then out of contract, do you think that the clowns that were running the club at that time would have looked after him?
No excuse for not being available for all the games after the 30th June as well. I'm sure 95% of out of contract players extended until the actual end of the season.1 -
In an ideal world I'd agree but it was far from ideal. No club player has ever been asked to play as late as 30 June, let alone the end of Julykillerandflash said:

There's no such thing as spirit in football just as there's no loyalty in football, from player to club or vice versa.
Football is a business, end of.....except where fans are concerned, of course.3 -
I don't think Lyle Taylor is a narcissist.
Only people who know him personally could confirm or deny a potential personality disorder he may have.
His public image is - he is an outspoken character and he speaks his mind.
It is rare for footballers to always be like that, so it stands out.
Actions do always speak louder than words.
We thought we had a Charlton hero.
Lyle showed his true colours when he betrayed Charlton. His lust for success and money, very much outweighed his loyalty and genuine care.
It's unfortunate

The bloke turned his back on the club you support and directly led to them being relegated. What more is there to look at? He's a prick.superclive98 said:

The angle to look at/consider is that he's a far better player than Washington and Stockley and I think better than any current L1 striker. If he came back he would help our chances of promotion.Croydon said:

There are certain traits of his character that are not perfect. He's not alone there.Croydon said:

As for being a prick, I prefer to look at the reason behind why Taylor was going to be leaving. Well run clubs try to tie down their most saleable assets. Under Roland and the various clowns that he sold to Charlton were far from well run. The considerable failings of Roland and Southall ensured that Taylor didn't sign a new contract, although I'm sure that he would have liked to.
If anyone is a prick then I'd reserve that title for the two people that ensured that he wasn't staying the club.2 -
I don't care that he left, or that he didn't sign a new deal, I care that refused to play while still under contract. That is inexcusable, no matter how much of a circus the club was at the time.superclive98 said:

And those three games, for which he was still under contract, yielded seven points. Didn't really cost us much at all then.Croydon said:

And how many games did we play in July to obtain sufficient points to avoid that fate.Croydon said:

If Taylor had played in the three June games we may not have achieved the seven points that we did.0 -

On the Southall point in terms of Taylor - I remember a bloke I work with bumping into Taylor in the Sainsburys car park on Pepper Hill, Northfleet (Taylor lived in Greenhithe) - it was just after Southall and his gang took over - bloke I work with said to Taylor something along the lines ‘this takeover is great news Lyle’ - Taylor’s response was that it was all a massive con, Southall and the rest didn’t have any money, and it will end in disaster - Taylor said he felt sorry for Charlton fans, as when the truth comes out, it will be a mess
For me, judging by that, he was never gonna hang around whilst Southall et al were still there
Imagine if TS had bought us before Southall could get his feet under the table - I reckon Taylor would have stayed if that happened5 -
Indeed it was because of this that the nature of his exit was so disappointing.maddferrett said:

He's very much a modern town centre pin up boy. Pretty boy who can talk the talk okay, but when it comes to anything that nears displaying morals, loyalty or integrity, they cannot do it.
Usually go missing as cannot cope with the lack of adulation then return when think they've sought some new love.1 -

Let's face it, he loves the attention. Cheers from the home fans, boos from the Charlton fans.
Indeed the worst thing opposition fans can do is abuse him, as he thrives on it5 -

To be fair, which is a bit painful I'd admit, the 3 points would be massively more important for AFC than for us. I'm sure that's how he'll justify itShag said:
