Taylor has spoken with a "forked tongue" all season - saying he wants to stay at Newcastle when the majority of us fans know full well he is ready to jump ship!
The day of his departure looks ever closer now he has turned down the club’s latest contract offer.
The homegrown defender was offered new and improved terms a fortnight ago, but he has rejected United’s latest approach – setting up a bargain basement transfer because he only has six months left on his contract.
The decision is not understood to be linked to Chris Hughton's dismissal, because Hughton had tried all season to get him to stay at the club without getting a result.
Taylor’s latest snub has not gone down well with Mike Ashley, who even went above the new wages cap to keep him at the club.
