Strange to think that he was apparently heading to Boston until we made an offer. One of those sliding doors moments where your career either drifts into regional non league, to now potentially being seen as a solid league two keeper.

He will have offers at our level.

Good interview with Max on Humberside

In summary
-He wanted to stay
-Only offered 1 year (obviously felt he deserved more )
-Hurst thinks he can get better and was always going to bring in another keeper
- Really enjoyed his time here and seems genuinely fond of the couple of years .
-Grateful for the chance at Town and no hard feelings towards Hurst or the club .
-Comes over as a decent bloke with no hard feelings .


Over to arr Paul to sign this high quality keeper he has in the pipeline then - very optimistic he has a big one lined up based on this conversation (maybe it's already done?) Max did not fancy his chances of playing ,so he must be decent .

Quoted from GrimPol


Understood what you said, however, why was only 1-year contract offered by PH. Strange one that seeing as 29 is "young" for a goalkeeper.
Perhaps PH didn't-think MC could cut it in League 1 if offered more than 1 year.


I have a feeling that hurst might want a keeper who can distribute better, he was obviously asking max to play it out to the flanks and he wasn't able to do this very successfully. I thought max was a decent keeper and dud well for us, however I was abit underwhelmed by his shot stopping last season at times and oftens he didn't seem to even try to get down to strikes which the likes of mecca in his prime would save.

Is it Hurst or Croudson’s call? Maybe Steve after coaching him has said to PH we can and need to do better….

Hurst didn't think he was good enough and neither did I . We can and will do better . We have extra Dosh sloshing around and imo the GK position needs serious investment if we are to challenge

Hurst has really shown his ruthless streak with this one , you could tell he really wanted to stay(he actually sounded quite emotional i thought)  but was told 'you will struggle to play' with the one year contract offered on assuming the same terms or reduced .

Arr Paul never leaves room for sentiment does he .

Absolutely love this from Hurst quite clearly stating he's not going to settle.

Ruthless maybe but nothing ever grows in the comfort zone. Excited to see who he brings in.

Why would you assume that?

I’m quite shocked but encouraged at how brutal Hurst has been here. Onwards and upwards.
