Lee Bowyer had harsh words for Lyle Taylor after yesterday’s game. He wasn’t pleased with his comments and said he should have kept them to himself. You get the impression that tensions are simmering beneath the surface at the club. The stakes are huge now, particularly for the players, what with the laughable contracts situation. Taylor knows that he can speak with impunity as he won’t be at Charlton next season regardless.
More evidence that Lee Bowyer truly is Duchatelet's loyal lieutenant.
LB is prepared to allow Duchatelet to kill the promotion campaign that he (LB) has sweated blood over this season, but he won't tolerate one of his best players rocking the boat by actually expressing how pissed off the dressing room is about RD shafting them.
La la la, let's all pretend that there's nothing wrong at CAFC, even long after that lie has been utterly discredited.

Allow
What should Bowyer have done about the Grant sale ?
He had Joe Mason lined up to come in, and Duchatelet blocked it at the last minute.
By 'allow' I meant accept it without protest.
Bowyer made a couple of dour sounding comments about it in an interview so I hear - the closest he has ever come to actually criticising his boss.
LB is behaving in a very professional manner from a corporate point of view. Duchatelet must be delighted he has found such an obedient employee.
But staying 'on message' seems to be more important to Bowyer than the wrecking of his promotion hopes, and surely Charlton's last ever chance to return to the Championship under this owner.
Derek Killer Hales was a true legend, record goal scorer. Lyle Taylor has had a decent first season in League one.
