Duvel 2,446 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If Lyle Taylor and co are worried about dying from covid then no amount of money would be enough to get them on the pitch. I can understand them not wanting to play for the owner but how about playing for the fans, for your team mates and your manager? It looks to me like he doesn't want to risk his big money move, I can understand it but I wouldn't be happy if I was a Charlton fan. I'm not sure he's the type of character I want playing for us either. Link to post Share on other sites

Ayala was offered a decent contract in Jan but wanted to look round. He's been a good pro about it though. Also think the league might be introducing squad and wage caps across the board. Apart from that i have heard nothing, which is hardly surprising whats been going on 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He's presumably contracted and being paid until at least 30 June, maybe longer depending on whether or not contracts are adjusted for the current situation. I posted that when I'd thought he was only refusing to play after his contract ends, I didn't realise he was flat out refusing to return even before then, which obviously isn't on. But I think he can use fear of the virus as a reason for not returning, as the authorities had already said nobody has to return to training if they don't feel safe. They can't extend his contract without his permission. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

diggerlad07 3,689 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I love how people are saying they don't want Lyle Taylor because of his attitude and refusing to play for Charlton, yet they are all for signing Ben Gibson. Ben Gibson didn't refuse to play for Burnley but he refused to train at Burnley which for me is just as bad. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If he wasn't a Boro lad I wouldn't go near him, but having those ties with Boro I can't imagine him ever doing something that could harm the club. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,631 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I've no issue with the club signing Lyle Taylor, at least not when it comes to his attitude. He's 30, and has played one half season above League One level, he'll probably never get a bigger move than his next one, the only chance of him moving beyond that is giving his all.

Snowblind 1,734 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Why are people saying Taylor is a disgrace? Do you go to work during a pandemic of a deadly virus without payment...? Doubt it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If we can sell Fry for any kind of inflated fee and then put it towards perm deals for Gibson and Moukoudi, it sounds like smart business. Both much better players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's the insinuation from various quarters - @nunthorpered mentioned it yesterday, and some journalists have started to pick up on it too. They needed to raise £700k by the end of last week, but each takeover fell by the wayside, mainly due to the make up of the debts at the club and how toxic their finances have become. It seems Taylor, Solly, etc have told the club they won't play and won't extend their deals to see out the season when they're not getting paid to do so. There's far more to it that meets the eye, and it's expected to come out into the open in the coming days. Charlton are in deep, deep trouble. Link to post Share on other sites

They have been going through some major issues between their owner & their chairman, so it adds up. No concrete evidence yet. Link to post Share on other sites
