It’s obvious Taylor is going, during this time he is very likely to have been speaking to a number of clubs and his agent would have told him x, y, and z have all said they’ll sign you and they’re likely to either be in the Premier League or heading that way. If the season doesn’t get finished, Taylor has played his last game for us.
Yep thanks for posting the link. Just listened to it.
Bowyer talks a lot of sense. Comes across very well, not heard him speak for such a long time before. We are very lucky to have had him and to have him as a manager.
My brief summary of the main points most of which not new:
Players who give it all on the pitch and work together can beat teams with higher quality players
we have a budget about a third less than luton
been even more difficult to manage since January after being promised funds to build and then instead being in trader embargo
having all the issues out in public not helped
taylor almost certain to go in June to a club that will make him up for life aged 30
Very difficult, almost impossible to se bow season can finish as COVID-19 not going away to allow training in May, games unlikely to be possible even behind closed doors in June and contract issues like Taylor (but also we have 5 (maybe 6) loans and 9 others out of contract who won’t be giving 100% after then as they know they will be let go.

If Southall weren't around the Luton manager may have been right in the first place
I know it was only a few, but It still makes me shake my head there were some fans calling for him to be sacked before the season was stopped. Ridiculous.
Fortunately Bowyer continually recognises how good the wider support has been.

Nope, now Southall done what he did, we are very, very quickly running out of money, hence why we might not even be able to pay the wages soon.
If you isolate that money spent as a percentage of our budget, I think you’d be shocked how little our budget is/was for this division. As far as I was aware, it’s less than a third of the leagues average.
It’s that which makes people at the club even more angry about what’s happened.
There were clubs in League One this season with a budget greater than ours.

That's basically what I meant mate
Apologies, I thought you meant something else. Either way it’s a disgrace what’s happened and it’s amazing that Bowyer has made us competitive throughout the season. It would be completely unjust on the work Bow and the staff have done if we were relegated without seeing out the rest of the season.
I know it was only a few, but It still makes me shake my head there were some fans calling for him to be sacked before the season was stopped. Ridiculous.

He came across really well - straightforward and honest.
I was a bit concerned when he said he'd been talking to "someone" about how his two years' experience was more like ten, with all he had gone through. Hope he is not being tapped up but wouldn't be a surprise. Mind you, it may have been Southall so better not to mention him by name.
He was v positive about the fans being understanding and supportive.
He also said he wished the "shenanigans" had remained behind closed doors.

unless there is a solution to the contract conundrum, it sounds that way and it almost seems he'll go with Bowyer's blessing or at least with his total understanding
If there was any serious money available, securing your decent goal scoring striker on a new deal would not be such an issue. Yes, it may break a wage structure, but our squad is not blessed with the talent that Lyle possesses, so on balance you would hope would accept it. This is the first proper signal to me that there really is no money to play with, current situation aside.
I just hope the 30/6 contract situation is sorted for all clubs if the season is to be played out behind closed doors, as we need his goals to stand a fighting chance of surviving.

I'd kinda lost track........
