Selfish cnut and a coward. You leave a club in the position its in that no other club can touch with the crap were dealing with and you just walk away! Money grabbing, no integrity, no respect and no honour... How dare you kiss our badge and say all the right things and then do this... You're no better than Southall. Forgive?? Never... Forget?? Never.
Is it fair to say that he's off your Christmas card list?
The first time I met Taylor I thought he was a nice bloke. but the first time I saw Southall and heard his first interview I thought he was a dishonest rat conman!!
Sure you did.
It amazes me how many people apparently knew Southall was dishonest from the start lol.
I mean even this 1968cafc says he knew he was a dishonest rat conman from his first interview, yet 1st February he said he was doing a good job
Can we not just be honest and admit we fell for the bullshit MS fed us
Yes we did Fall for the Rats Bullshit 100%
I was wrong about the interview I saw it was not his first it was a few weeks in when Lee Bowyer was getting pain off certain fans for not buying players, and afterwards we learned of an embargo. No excuses from me at all I was wrong about the lying scumbag 👎
My littleun has had to put up with me talking bout Charlton all her young life,where we have been,the highs,lows,more lows the owners,the whole ordeal as it were,she has been right amongst it especially with the Roly saga (still continuing) after the delirium of Wembley last yr & the way we started the Championship,we were on course to be settled for a change,then the next lot of chancers decide to come in & try strip the very heart out of our club...I try to fill her in but it’s too much for her little mind,all she wants is for us to go back to the Valley & watch her heroes,one in particular...yes that one...,last yr at the Donny p/o away game,my little one got a photo with every player,but the one that’s been sitting in a frame,pride of place,was one of her,that hero along with the MoM award...now I’ve been trying to explain she will never see him in a Charlton shirt again,the same shirt she saved up for with her own money then saved more so she could have that name & number on her back,I even explained he might have only been there till January,but she insisted it didn’t matter,it was her hero,she now wants that photo thrown away along with shirt & I’m heartbroken for her...that man has disrespected our Club,Our Shirt,our fans & devastated my daughter,so Lyle u egotistical c&£t just fuck off & do one,there is not one ounce of sympathy coming from me,I hope u have a train wreck of a career from here on in...3 games,just a few more playing hrs to see out your contract & u could have always been a hero in her (our) eyes..but no,you have left my girl in tears & that is unfuckin forgivable...
But I’ve promised her we will always have a Charlton & she still says she is on board...👍
I would post that photo & what you wrote to Taylor c/o the club.

Bless her mate. It’s something that Taylor will never understand, all that ‘I’m not a fan of football’ crap he came out with.
Lets hope Bonne steps up and she can get his name on the back of her next strip. There’s a boy who won’t forget where he came from.
Sleepless nights. Up until 5 in the morning because of this situation. Absolute joker.
It's all PR toss. He knows he's looking bad. Despite what he says he's trying to save a bit of face. I note that he didn't say anything about what his team mates thought of his antics. You probably couldn't print that.
I never thought Southall was a bad'un at first, BUT I did point out at the time that initially everyone also liked Katrien, who was personable and a breath of fresh air etc, so perhaps wasn't as over excited as others here, and we know how that turned out
The shambles of getting Bowyer's new contract agreed did plant a few doubts in my mind though
Seen on lyles insta stories that he shared a video of Chris Dickson implying that the media are using race to portray the lyle story negatively, whilst ignoring that Solly isn't playing. Annoying that they are using the race card when the reason it is portrayed this was is because Lyle is/was our best player whilst Solly is now a bench warmer at best

Trouble with Lyle is he can't admit to being in the wrong - wants us all to feel sorry for him.

Think Taylor is on 6.5k a week - yeah it’s not amazing money for a striker of his ability but it’s still 300k more than I earn a year.
I get the situation completely but what really annoys me is the whole injury in the season, and it was done on international duty something he’s not been able to do before where as we have given him the ability to do that.
It’s like working for a company mon - fri On the weekend you decide to do some sort of voluntary work you hurt yourself badly resulting in you being of no use to your firm for 14 weeks, then we get hit with a pandemic and your work has to furlough staff and lots of other companies are struggling, you are still being paid full salary, on June the 1st you are asked to return to work and you say no here’s my notice I won’t help you out as I’ve lined up a better deal.
It’s wrong and anyone that doesn’t think that really wants to give there heads a wobble.
I believe Chris Dickson has posted something alluding to this being a race issue - let’s not even entertain that as it’s quite clearly rubbish.
Like everybody, I thought Southall was a positive development as the initial narrative was there was lots of Arab money behind him. I did recognise him in other fantasist a*holes I have encountered but an a*hole with Arab money wasn't necessarily a disaster.
I started to worry in early January. The first press conference that was too flat and the second one soon after that was too positive. I was thinking, this bloke is useless. Then the lack of activity in early January when we still had big injury issues. I know enough that in football you respect the points. I knew Bowyer knew that and we were not. So I did suss the bloke out before most. But initially I put it down to him being useless rather than all the other crap that is around it.
Racism unfortunately is alive Alive and kicking as events in America has shown. Racism should be opposed whenever it raises it's ugly head. But when people like Mouthall and Taylor try and play the race card where racism doesn't exist the don't help the cause.
Taylor has his reasons and I can understand some of them. Would any of us have done what he has done? Of course not. We are loyal to our club. Footballers first loyalty is to themselves. It is their careers. Some have a bit of loyalty to their club too and some don't. Taylor is one of those that don't. He is still in credit with me, whilst I am a little disapointed. He shouldn't be a distraction, we have more important things to focus on. If he wants to piss off, then piss off quietly I say.
Like everbody, he may regret a decision he makes today when he is older and wiser. Not because we are giving him a hard time, but because he is contracted to play until the end of June and that is what he should be doing. There is a chance of an injury falling down the stairs.
Like many on here , upset that Lyle has made this choice. By all means depart from CAFC, but at the end of the season surely. Yes he may get injured, but if he is so petrified about that scenario, get your agent to secure some form of insurance policy if such a thing exists?. Not sure I would be too keen on signing a player that walks away from a contract because he might get injured. Mate you have always faced that anxiety, it is part of football. Play the season, and leave.
I look back and wonder how Taylor would have fared with Billy Bonds, Jack Charlton, Dave Mackay or Tony Adams as his captain. Spark out on the dressing room floor I reckon. Still, I understand his pain and as a contracted player perhaps the club might lay on some counselling for him

Maybe the difference is Solly hasn't mentioned money,life-changing move, family, best version of myself kinda claptrap!
Be glad once he's gone - he's let the club down.
