Why haven't we named more of our stands after former legends?

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Because the owners are looking more to a future that brings in sophisticated international world-wide audiences rather than names from a (sadly) bygone simpler age of Oxo, bobble hats and bus conductors.

Haven’t you heard? Oxo has made a huge comeback this winter. Get with it, man.

With all of our lovely new sponsors, surely It's only a matter of time until the Tinder stand is revealed. Trouble is, they'll only let you in through the back doors.

Didnt see that one coming!

The Fonzek Stand - is a must.

A statue. For Vincent Kompany. On a horse, definitely on a horse.

The Christian Negouai Stand has a nice ring to it

Too rag-badgey. A sword would be fine, with his face cast in that ecstatic moment of glee in 2012 when basically headbutted the ball in v The Rags.

A stand or stadium should never be named after an owner or board member in my opinion.

Without Sheikh Mansour's investment, where would we be now?
9th at best?
He is the man who has put the club where it is now and I think that it would be appropriate.

More likely we would have been in administration, not 9th.

Still woudln't name a stand after an owner, and any self respecting owner should never want one named after them imho.
