I like Max on a personal level. He's a good guy and there is no doubting that he's really bought into the club and given his all on the pitch, and from that respect I'm sad to see him go. However, he's not Championship standard and I think it shows good ambition from the club to move him on and look to bring in someone better. It would have been very easy to sit on their hands, keep him on a relatively low wages and make do, but the ruthless streak shows that we're not a club who value sentimentality over progress. I hope he finds a decent club where he gets to play every week, and it's shame that he didn't get one last game in front of the fans given how popular a figure he was, but it's time to move on.
And no, he's not a club 'legend' (although I'm sure he'll be invited to future Legends Days) but he's a cult hero and has written his name into the CCFC history books with some crucial goals over the years.
