    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."

    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.

    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..

    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?
    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.
