I think silence and then applause afterwards. Who decides the club?

As well as turning up in sheepskin coats, fedoras and giant cigars.

I'm seriously thinking of buying one and then throwing it towards the pitch when the minutes silence is over.

Mike C said:I think the Minute's Applause was brought in when there was fear that the silence wouldn't be observed (can't really tell if a few hundred people aren't clapping, if everyone else is) - don't think that would be an issue in this case?
Think, if done properly, a Minutes Silence can be moving and respectful rather than morbid?
This - a minutes silence is the best.
Think the team should also wear black armbands against Blackpool and Poznan (our next home game).
On a personal note RIP big Mal... what a shame you didn't live to see us break our 34 year wait for another trophy.

One minute of silence followed by applause.
My first thought was this ^^^^

If it was Joe had who so recently passed I would advocate a dignified silence. To reflect the dignity of the man.
But Big Mal, in his pomp, was a loud, brash extrovert who celebrated his own life.
Its only fitting that we do likewise and raise the roof.

My sentiments exactly. I've just nipped out of the office for a fag and was sat contemplating this for 10 mins while lots of memories were going around in my head and thought the same. Some people deserve the silence as did Joe, a reserved gentleman but then again some people deserve the brashness of applause and you can't get more brash than 'Big Mal'
On another site i've just seen the word 'Maverick' associated with him, i love that description.

Applause.
As others have said, it suits his character more than silence.
Had it been the gentler of the two, Joe Mercer, then I'd have agreed with silence. But this is one of the few occasions where applause would be a better fit IMO.
