Former Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor has criticised the way the likes of Lee Charnley handled his departure from the club in 2015. Taylor left the Magpies upon the expiration of his contract after a seven-year spell at St. James’ Park.
The 37-year-old made over 100 appearances during his time at Newcastle, where he helped them win the Championship title during the 2009/10 season. However, despite his long service at the club, the circumstances in which his time on Tyneside ended has left a sour taste in the mouth.
Both he and Jonas Gutierrez were left in the dark following their final game for the club against West Ham United at home, where neither were given clarification on their futures. Speaking on BBC’s Total Sport Podcast, he earmarked Charnley as someone who will reflect on his time at Newcastle negatively due to the way he handled certain situations.
