Statues

[mcfc1894]

Because we have so many greats why don't we have the first ever football club wax works of all our amazing representatives past and present? Madame tussauds at the etihad

we could pick up that Busby statue cheap; I believe there will be a fire sale soon.

i suggested at the time that a statue of Joe Mercer & Malcolm Allison holding the trophy together at the entrance to City Square from Joe Mercer Way with the renaming of City Square to Malcolm Allison Square would be nice.

I also think maybe like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but maybe dark blue plaques on the floor around the ground with the names, ages, club apps/goals and stuff on them would be a good idea, I also think paintings and drawings on the concourses along with a properly done and artistic repainting would be nice.

There's so many players we could have a statue for that there'd always be some people who be dissappointed their favourite didn't have a statue, so plaques could be a nice alternative.

I always think if there was one statue that typified city it would be Paul Dickov sliding on his knees.

My personal opinion is that to warrant a statue, you'd have to have achieved something pretty remarkable in football, like the world cup or Champions league etc..

I don't think that many of the names listed in the previous posts meet that criteria, and it is entirely plausable that our current crop of stars will eclipse anything that has happened in the past, so I would hang fire before we started casting Paul Dickov in bronze.
