Well he is completely right to a degree, he is just leaving the part about people actually honoring their contracts. I have been accused of "defending" Lyle Taylor (and on one bizarre occassion of being Lyle Taylor), for the record I never have defended him just understood why he did what he did though that doesnt make it morally right.SaySomething said:Just saw this on the BBC website (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/wolverhampton-wanderers) where he defends Rob Edwards leaving Middlesbrough:Former striker Lyle Taylor has defended Rob Edwards' decision to leave Middlesbrough after just four months as manager, citing that there is "no loyalty in football".
The new Wolves manager has signed a three and a half year deal at Molineux and will take charge of his first game against Crystal Palace a week on Saturday.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Taylor said: "The lack of loyalty is evidenced by the fact that fans live in this football utopia whereby loyalty exists, but when a fan doesn't think a player is good enough - what do they do? They want the player out.
"When a player wants to leave a club to better themselves, they are treated like a turncoat. When a manager wants to do the same thing, it is the same situation.
"Football is a business and ultimately money rules business.
"Let's be honest, if there is ever a time Rob Edwards has to manage against Middlesbrough, he will get dog's abuse.
"But, for me, the presumption that there is loyalty in football is wide of the mark."
However you can not on one hand say football is a money game and equally say contracts can be ignored as thats the very legal basis that allows football to be a money game. Truly hypocritical.
How can you be completely right to a degree? Doesn't that make you not completely right..7 -
Yes, I had that dream and had the next part but I don't want to post spoilers here in case anyone else is planning on having that dream.swords_alive said:Had a very vivid dream last night, sitting in an away stand with Lyle Taylor and promised I would help him get away if he promised to come back and finish his contract. Nothing else happened. Has anyone else had this dream or a version of it?5 -
He's a scumbag and also too big for his boots0

There's no loyalty in football anymore. But there is decency. He is confusing the two.
No footballer in living memory has knowingly and willingly relegated an entire football club because they were 'afraid' of injury and wanted their big money move.
Rob Edwards leaving Boro, Trent leaving Liverpool, etc.. These are nothing like his situation.9 -

Won't be surprised if I find club 1905 put on a q&a with Lyle Taylor in the future.I maybe wrong (please give me an example)- this is the only Away Lyle Taylor footage I can find, ironically it is from the AFC lot, not us

where is loyalty in employment? - the majority of us will always go for what we consider the best employment for our needs, be that remuneration, location etc, we all do try best for us and our family why should a footballer be different by staying loyal to a club and forsaking betterment?2

There's leaving for another job, and then there's just walking out one day, whilst under contract and wothout finishing a project, whilst still being paid, and leaving all your colleagues to try to finish the job on their own.lancashire lad said:where is loyalty in employment? - the majority of us will always go for what we consider the best employment for our needs, be that remuneration, location etc, we all do try best for us and our family why should a footballer be different by staying loyal to a club and forsaking betterment?
It's never been about him leaving - if he'd just left for Forest on a free at the end of the season, 99% of fans would have no issue and the other 1% would be wrong.

Forest who? - sorry I only follow Charlton1

Always worth remembering that every time his comments get a big reaction online his chances of being rebooked go through the roof. He knows it's hypocritical, that's why he says it1

He is just being Lyle Taylor, blunt and to the point. He trashes fan culture, so you can't say he is being a hypocrite- he is just being his egotistical self- this is also why he is playing for Chelmsford City.Chunes said:There's no loyalty in football anymore.
