It is surely entirely understandable for an employee to expect repercussions if he criticises him employer to tens of thousands of followers on twitter?Re "if he doesn't need the money, he should resign so he can say what he likes", I take it that means he is due some criticism if he opts for the money and keeps quiet?If comments like 'this isn't good enough' is a far as he went, then maybe a quiet word in his ear would have been suffice as opposed to leaving him out of a club tour thus bringing more unwanted negativity on the club.

On the basis of his duty being to promote the club and present it in the best possible light to the "customers" the censure of a long established hero of those customers for being critical of performances is just as much a breach of duty by those censuring him. Coming down like a ton of bricks on an employee for telling the truth is not presenting the club in the best possible light. Quite the reverse. It is a petty and spiteful reaction to fair comment. Of late I have come to the conclusion that the club has a death wish the way everything is turned into a crisis.

Everyone knows the club is a shambles from top to bottom and Taylor was put in an impossible position whereby if he said all was fine at the club he'd have been ridiculed. He tells the truth and gets very publicly punished.He should resign and start blowing the whistle on the club and the arseholes who run it.Anyone know who made the decision on Taylor? was it Lambert? not that it matters, he couldn't sink any lower in my estimation even if it was him.
I think first and foremost Taylor is a fan of the club and like most of us couldn't stop his frustrations from flowing on to social media. The role is best for an ex player,not ex player and supporter.

Nobody was forcing him to post criticism of the team on twitter. It's not like he was being grilled by Paxman and had to voice an opinion.I don't really understand what the club ambassador is meant to include and exclude though - ie whether the normal employer / employee analogy is valid
