Max (18 Viewers)

[Adge]

I think people need to take emotions out of selling and letting go a player.

Max has been a great servant for the club. This work outside football in the community shows what a great guy he is.

He has scored some amazing goals and important goals. But we cant keep living in the past.

At the end fo the day he has been paid for his services and now it times to move on.

Thank you Max for all the memories and I wish you well at your next club.

Don’t buy this great servant cobblers at all. He was here for 3-4 years, was injured during that period and as you alluded too-was paid for his services.
If you want an example of a “great servant” look no further than Oggy or Brian Borrows et al.

Were Oggy and Brian Borrows playing for free then?

Yeah but they only won one trophy in their 20 years at the club.

If he defended awful refereeing decisions you'd love him

and what a day out that was.....PUSB

No-but lasted some 12-14 years at the club. That being the definition of longevity and good service.

If the news is true, I fully wish him well and hope he enjoys some success at League One or possibly more sensibly League Two, has always seemed like a really nice bloke and I don't think his attitude or integrity can be questioned, which is all you can ask for in your workplace.

That said, I feel like I live on a different planet to what feels like 99% of our fanbase (I know it's just Social Media distorting it). Some of the tributes are like Messi has left us. Just seen the lad who runs Sky Blue Extra describe him as his favourite player for 5 or 10 years. I worry a little for fans of the next club who sign him who are going to see fans adoring him and gonna think they've got a significantly better acquisition than they have.

tbf I've got no problem with that. he tries hard, he's a success story, and he seems a decent bloke. Your favourite player doesn't mean that you think they're any good! I quite like Shipley based on the fact he's come with us from League Two after coming through the academy, but I'm not about to claim he's at the same level as O'Hare....

Yeah, fair enough. Just think choosing your favourite player over potentially a decade because they 'work hard' is a bit odd. Probably more my problem than theirs to be honest, shouldn't really have to justify why you think someone is your favourite player, but my brain struggles to understand how someone quite so limited can be loved for working pretty hard. I've never watched Jamie Allen and thought he's giving any less than 100% but if someone told me he was their favourite player of the last 5 - 10 years I'd be slightly bemused, and he's a better player.

Said all along that I would keep him for one more season but the way some are talking it’s treasonous for him to ever be let go. Our fans are bizarre.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why don’t we offer Max a new contract as Sky Blue Sam. That way you can all hug him every week... move on, he’s not good enough to take us forward.. I’m looking forward to who Robins has lined up to replace him...

Now that’s funny!!

I love Max and only hope the best for him but we have to improve every year

All clubs have fans with diverse opinions
This is going to be a difficult window for many out of contract players but I don't think Max will be short of options
Max is a very decent man which in the long run always trumps how good a player someone is
We can all think of examples of brilliant players who are 10th rate human beings
Max is a first rate human being and an honest player who gives everything within his limitations
I suspect Max and Robins have talked things over and Max has been advised to look for a club

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Godden next please! Slowest striker we've ever had.

Not sure if your a wum or just plain stupid

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Novel thought - maybe the plan is to improve the team. Instead of Max as 4th choice it might be Godden next season?

 

[rexo87]

Max is someone who has been with us from our very bottom to where we are now. A lot of our younger fans haven’t ever known success like the last 3/4 years so any player who has been on that journey is going to be regarded highly. At to that the fact he interacts with the fans superbly it’s easy to see why younger fans have a deep affection to him. I don’t see the problem with this at all and why people have to get their arse in a twist because people like Max i don’t know. He has also scored hugely important and often ridiculously good goals for us. Yes, to improve Robins needs to be ruthless and we have to upgrade on the likes of Max but there is absolutely nothing wrong with being sad to see him go

Despite my playing silly buggers talking about testimonials earlier in the thread you are right.

Lots of jokes being taken literally I feel.

We get it, you love Walker. But on what basis?

Hopefully. Neither Godden or Walker match our ambition.

Luckily the man making the decision will take the emotion out of it.

It’s lucky Facebook etc wasn’t about when we sold Robbie Keane, Dion Dublin or Terry Gibson it would have been Coventry on sea with all the tears.

Exactly. I'd certainly have one or two of them within the squad, rather that than a bad apple who is a slightly better player.

Is Shipley regarded highly?

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Up there with John Gayle and Gary Bannister

Gary Bannister was a good player, as Biamou has been for the levels he has played at.

100% correct. Imagine berating a generation of fans rating a player who played a big part on what can be considered a revival.

 

[skybluesam66]

he is very much similar to Mo Konjic
Limited ability
100% effort
loves and would die for the club
Fan favourite

I personally would keep him in the squad for another year, but if that stops us bringing somebody else in, then probably not

 

[Evo1883]

The fact that a single vote went NO should concern us , who are these people

A real worry 15 goals could make a real difference next season and people would keep a bloke that would get you 6 or 7 at best.

I think he’ll prove to be a great signing. He makes intelligent runs and I think he will hit double figures if he can stay injury free
