Post match phone in has existed before and during the social media age. I can't remember specific calls, but yeah, I'm sure plenty of shite has been spoken on there throughout it's existence.

Didn’t someone on this board mention someone spewing nonsense on the CWR phone in saying we should sack Robins and play 4-4-2?

Or was that just @Grendel?

Low blow, I know!

All of those upset and outraged must surely thing that Robins hasn’t a clue if he’s letting a legend and one of our best strikers go and not releasing Walker

The most bizarre one posted on here from Facebook is that Robins wanted to keep him but SISU forced his hand. Surely he’s a perfect SISU player, willing to play for a fraction of others?

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.

Yeah that's what I mean, people going on about its the younger ones in response to the guy on facebook mentioning Kyle Walker instead of Tyler, when that guy himself is retired.

The comparison was based on his ability to chip in with a few important goals. Not his goals/games ratio. Nor the level at which said goals were scored.

Love max but it’s the right call ultimately I actually seen him a couple of days ago driving a Citroen lol he won’t be short of offers will be ok at league 1 level or as mentioned he might go Abroad.

All the best Max

But isn't that part of the story, Biamou (and a couple of others, Shipley for example) have mirrored the progress of the club. We, as a club have been average at best in the Championship as has Max. It's been an exciting 4 years and 3 or 4 players have been a key part of that

…he hasn’t been a key player over the last 4 years.

He has been a backup/reserve striker during his time here, no matter how much you want to rewrite history it won’t change it.

Because it irks me. A man who scored 14 goals in 4 seasons for us being banded about as if he's jesus reincarnated.

He scored some great goals. He did great things for the family zone etc. So we applaud him, thank him and move on.

The outpouring of grief on twitter and the like is pathetic. Its like hes died or he singlehandedly took us to the champions league final.

And also, our most influential player in Kelly has signed on for another 2 seasons. That was ignored by 90% of fans to focus on the max wankathon.

Still a waste of your time. Also saying it “makes you sick” if that is indeed what you said will get peoples backs up. Them coming back here to whisper about the other kids on Twitter. All schoolboy nonsense.

The funniest thing is when they say ‘if Robbie Keane is a legend then so is Max’.

Instead of just shouting at everyone that they're wrong, take a moment and ask yourself why this is happening. Maybe it's important to have players that feel part of the club despite limited ability. Maybe that's ok. Maybe people can have their moment of feeling sad that a long-term player who gives his all and relates to the fans is leaving, why shouldn't they feel that? Why do you and others have to get so upset about this. It's comes across as mean-spirited. We are all pleased that kelly has signed but can't we feel both things?

I'm not shouting at everyone saying they're wrong. I had an opinion that he isnt a legend, gave examples of actual club legends and got virtually gang raped

We've had some legends at the club and sadly, Max is not among their number. He may not even qualify as a cult figure. He was definitely a fan favourite who knew where the net was. 1 goal in 4 games ratio isn't bad compared to the strikers we have had over the last 10 years. Robins could have appeased everyone with a Pay as You Play contract but I'm sure Max would want game time rather than sitting on the bench.
