I'd like to see a gigantic Colossus of Rhodes / Angel Of The North style statue standing legs spread over BMD with it's arms held out in a "Come and have a go" style.

Obviously I'd also like to see it made of an overly expensive and poisonous material completely unsuited to the exposed and wet location. As it erodes it ruins the value of the ground and turns the local environment toxic despite the immense spending. A fitting tribute to the transfer policies and managerial choices of his time here.
 
We should get one carved from ice and unveil it during the first game of the season in August. It should last about as long as our excitement at having him involved with the club did.

No, he shouldn't.

But he's more deserving of a stand than 'Mr Everton' who has managed our decline whilst keeping a large swathe of arse sniffers onside.

It's disappointing because a Kenwright stand is inevitable. I'll either have to sit in it or look at it. To be constantly reminded of that absolute horror show of a man will be nauseating.

We have far, FAR more deserving people from our history than Kenwright.

Look at what we have now. The HK Stand. Fair one. The Sir Phil Carter Stand. Again, fair enough. The Bill Kenwright Stand? Ludicrous.

He's achieved absolutely nothing. Tosspot.
 
I sometimes feel it’s a shame with modern society that people can only express one sentiment - people are unhappy with Moshiri therefore everything he does is tainted.

It’s okay to be unhappy with Moshiri for the running of the club and the signings but still acknowledge that he will (hopefully) have done a good job with the stadium.

I’m not necessarily an advocate for a statue (in my own mind statues should be reserved for the actual footballing heroes) but given he is building a stadium that should last 100+ years I absolutely think he deserves recognition for it in some way.

I also say this from a point of view of thinking we undershot on the stadium and it should have been larger than 53k but it will still be bigger and better than not having a new stadium at all.

The Harry Catterick Stand is far more deserving.
