Promotion Push

“Hated or adored but never ignored” rings especially true in this week’s episode as Lyle Taylor steps onto the stage. Charlton fans have long held strong opinions about his departure, and now Lyle sets the record straight, finally sharing his reasons for parting ways with the Addicks. He also opens up about his outspoken views on the BLM organisation and the backlash he faced for refusing to take the knee. From teammates holding secret meetings about how to handle his attitude, to winding up opponents until Adebayo Akinfenwa was ready to explode, Lyle reflects honestly on his early career and admits he wasn’t always the ideal teammate but explains how much he’s learned along the way. After leaving Charlton, Lyle made the move to Nottingham Forest, where he crossed paths with everyone’s favourite football club owner, Mr. Marinakis. While he hit new heights in the Championship and played a role in Forest’s promotion push, his time there eventually came to a sour end. 🌏Get an exclusive NordVPN deal here → https://nordvpn.com/cosh This is risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee!
