A players career is very short, one bad tackle can finish it.
And that is why they already earn well above average salaries are insured and are encouraged and supported to have a career post playing.
Cake and eat it springs to mind in this scenario.
There is no guarantee that a player will find a job affording him a lifestyle anywhere near to what he has been used to.
Forgetting the fact he's playing for our team, I do not blame him for what he's doing.
However much he MIGHT feel he has let down his current work colleagues, once he's at his new club being paid a lot more dough than where his at at the moment, I am sure we will be quickly forgotten.

Expecting the same lifestyle is naive of any footballer. Live within your means. And in the case of a football player you are earning up front and not guaranteed to be a ‘millionaire’.
For what’s its worth I get why he has seemingly done what he has done but don’t like it and tend to agree he will quickly forget us (and vice versa in my opinion).
Bookie on talkSPORT has the following odds for his new club
brentford 15/8 bournemouth 3/1 Rangers 4/1
when they are a once in a lifetime opportunity it shows how far we have fallen!!
To be honest if he's been given the chance to play in the premier league with Bournemouth (assuming they stay up) then I may be tempted to think twice about my feelings.

Your feelings would change if charlton Are in league 1 so that Taylor can play in the premier league? Sorry Lyle, go f**k yourself
Just galling that he sat their taking the wages for weeks on end doing nothing,knowing he was not going to play.Surely having taken the money for nothing he should be morally obliged to return some of it,as the other lads are going to earn theirs,while he has done nothing.I certainly hope we dont pay him any more.
I’m still concerned about the precedent it’s setting if we allow him to do this. A competent club would surely be suing for breach of contract? Could create additional problems for ourselves (and other clubs) further down the road.
Loyalty is for supporters not players. Some may feel obligated to play but for most it's about number one.
So, someone on here said there are around 350 Championship players whose contracts expire at the end of the season. Thus far I have only heard that Taylor and Solly are unwilling to play for non-COVID related reasons. So, please correct if I am wrong but doesn’t that mean around 99.5% feel obligated to honour their contracts as opposed to “some”. Of course that may change in the next couple of weeks but how about we stick with facts for now?
Lyle has shown so much class before this move that for me is so classless I can't stop thinking something doesn't seem right about it.
He was a nice guy but not as articulate or bright as we obviously thought and badly advised also. if he had honoured his contract and stayed to the very end, he would have kept his respect from others and his Manager also his integrity and he may have even left the club a hero helping to keep us up ? he has got it wrong and he can now go 👎
Taylor is just a chancer like Southall. Now for Solly who we have paid through the years even though he missed so many games and Lawrie Wilson proved to be a better right back given the chance I am very disappointed.
Sitting out the end of the season to get a dream move to Gillingham????

Was talking about our players. Some players will have a sense of duty to honour their contractual obligations others are playing to put themselves in the shop window. What ever way you want to put it football is just a job to them so they will look after number one.
Lyle Taylor was happy to still pick up his wages while this pandemic has been going on.He didn't say anything then. Fans detest players like this taking their club for a easy living and giving nothing back.

I'm not sure the publicity is doing Lyle Taylor much good, as he's become the "poster boy" across football fans off all clubs of greedy players not caring at all about their club or supporters, not a good reputation to get, even if you apparently thrive on confrontation

Taylor will hate this. I know he likes the limelight, but I don’t think he’ll be used to it on this level that is now outside of the Charlton bubble and for all the football world to be commenting on (and lambasting).
As a result, I doubt he and Bowyer are on the best terms and the chances of him changing his mind would be slim. Hope I’m wrong though.
Such a sad way for all this to end. And even more so with Chris Solly - a man who was already considered a legend of the club. This footnote will always be there against his name.

And for the months he was injured as a result of playing for another team. Paid and looked after.
Doesn’t the international team pick up the tab for wages if a player is injured whilst on international duty?
No. If a national team is in the final stages of an international tournament they have an obligation to compensate the club. Otherwise the doctors attached to the national team have an obligation to submit the results of their own examinations to assist the club in treating the injury but they don't have to pay any compensation to the club. So if a player decides to play for a minor national side (no disrespect) like Montserrat there is almost no chance they will get past the initial stages of any tournament they are in, so no risk of having to pay compensation.
Not sure what I think of this yet and will reserve my judgement until I have heard Taylor's side.
Don't forget Bowyer knew about the transfer embargo and still let Southall play out the silly transfer day bollocks at the expense of us mug fans. Bowyer was looking out for number one there and I don't blame him.
Too much has gone on at the ministry of propaganda that is CAFC in the past few years and particularly past 6 months for me to take anything coming from anyone associated with the club as gospel. Everyone has an angle, an agenda a version of events.
It may well turn out to be as straightforward as is being reported and if that's the case I'll understand it but would be pretty gutted and disappointed but not surprised as the game is a cesspit now and the Steve Bulls and Jack Walkers are as rare as hen's teeth nowadays. I'm almost more disappointed at how unsurprised I am with each new low that the game sinks to and further and further away from substance and integrity...as leroy points out mirroring current society.
One thing I did think is that my contract at work states I have to give 3 months notice. How many people would work their 3 months notice period if they won £50m on the euromillions...particularly if working an extra day meant an albeit relatively small but very real risk that doing so would jeopardise ever collecting those winnings.
LT doesn’t owe Charlton naff all after the way roly twunt and mouthall both mugged him off and lied about it after. LT was told he was sold by both regimes deals done fees agreed then on the eve of the window it’s all off and he’s hung out to dry like Roly’s sodden bedsheets LT’s employer is getting the self same loyalty integrity and class it gave him. Keyboard wankers can bellyache til kingdom come it’s just delusional guff. Dry your eyes kiddies put away the left handed mice and get on with anything else slightly less vacuous.

The club is actually cursed.
I'm not sure I'd class Solly as a legend - a term banded around too readily nowadays anyway. A long serving player yes who gave good service, but I'm not sure he ever had the same attachment to the club and fans as Powell or Jacko did, even without moving into the dugout.
