Changed my mind on keeping Monk now after publicly shaming Taylor. Have some class man and keep it within the club.

How you expect him to do that, Hardy? He can't no comment everything.

hard to call, i like the fact he calls it out but think he hasn't handled taylor or pontus very well. if taylor has been badly advised he should of been sold in jan with specialist left back brought in or made number one and played. Same with pontus it is right to be strong but think pontus has played last game for us and cooper could of cost us points needed for playoffs.

I like principles but think sadly they have no place in football and business now days had taylor and pontus played more we might have at least two more games left this season. also monks man management skills are lacking because he failed to inspire for end of season and lead to a massive slump which sent us from potential second place to no where near playoffs in about 8 games.

Why keep it within the club? Taylor didn't. He didn't refuse to train or play behind closed doors. He refused to wear the shirt of Leeds in public. Monk did the right thing. Go get your pay packet from a Premier League club Charlie and maybe while you have time this summer read through your new contract and see how much you are paying your agent for making you look like a spoiled brat.

Taylor is at fault in this occasion not Monk

He did right to share it, why not. Fans have a right to know. I would have sold him in jan as he wants to go. You want players who will fight for the club, he is not one of them.

Totally agree with what Mr Monk has done, CT has acted in a completely unprofessional manner. If he had bothered playing I would have said thanks and good luck to the lad but now . sod off and don't come back, Judas.

Monk would have been asked by countless journalists why Taylor wasn't playing. Would anyone have preferred him to lie to us all and say he wasn't selected because of an injury or lack of form, when we all know the truth? I know I wouldn't, we've had too many lies over the last few years at the club. I don't blame him for sharing the news. Greedy player advised by a greedier agent. That's modern football though. MM

In hindsight should have let him go in January, or even last summer

But Taylor doesn't want to be within the club

Yesterday’s decision by Taylor sums up his attitude for most of the season. I have watched a player, that when played, did not seem interested. None committal going forward, looking for the easy sideways pass on numerous occasions and pulling out of challenges when the odds were 60-40 in his favour.

The injury starting in December could be viewed as interesting timing and could also be viewed as an attempt to force a move in January. When this did not happen it took another 2 months to heal. I am no Doctor and accept that different players have different recovery rates but this was an Achilles strain (it did not snap) and should not have taken the best part of three months to recover from.

The initial damage in relationship between club and player, more likely agent, was done when Cellino played games with the Byram saga, Taylor’s future at the club as his contract ran down was only going to go one way.

I do not blame Taylor for wanting to leave for Premier League football however the same end goal could have been achieved with more dignity and grace. His actions, probably based on poor advisement, should not be condoned.

I think we will all agree that if a player moves to play at a higher level, disappointing that they would be leaving us, if they had put in reasonable effort we would wish them well. Taylor hasn't done that and has spent this season ensuring that he avoided injury. His under par performances have been noticeable and yesterday's decision to go on strike is the final straw. Premier managers will have taken note and this action could scupper any move he is hoping for. Remember Foristerri doing the same thing at the start of the season. His move never materialised. WBA have previously linked with Taylor, can't see Pulis wanting a player with no backbone. Bye Charlie, I'd like to wish you luck but I can't

Great posting by Notts filled with intelligence and articulation.

Deda, wassup? I on the other hand can wish CT luck. Bad. It'll come back around for him.
