Fulham chairman Mohammed Al Fayed who is also the owner of an English Premier League football club has revealed the statue of Michael Jackson outside the club's Craven Cottage.
Most of the football fans find Michael Jackson's statue to be silly and irrelevant. The are questioning its relevance. Those who have supported the club for so long find it inappropriate and ridiculous.
Al Fayed, invited Michael Jackson to the club for a game in 1999. However, he remained defiant and said the fans could go to hell if they can't appreciate the statue. He does not understand what to they find so bizarre in Michael Jackson's statue. He said the football fans don't have to believe in the things he believes. They can go to hell, go to Chelsea or go anywhere else.
Al Fayed, is proud to put a statue of his friend Michael Jackson even if some club fans don't like it and find it a useless addition to the club. This is not the first time, he is unveiling statues of loved ones. In 2005, Al Fayed, unveiled bronze statues of Lady Diana and his son Dodi Al Fayed in Harrods store titled 'Innocent Victims'.
The club members and fans are angry that he never consulted them for putting up a statue and they would have opposed it. However, Al Fayed is happy and doesn't care about the fans. He wants to cherish his friends and memories in a way he likes most.
Well, I certainly don't find anything wrong in having a statue of a legendary singer at the club. Relevance being the main question...I think the entire world knows that Al Fayed and Jackson were best friends so what is so wrong if he wants to remember his friend, a famous singer after his death by putting up a statue? People seem so bitter about everything.
