富勒姆球馆外被拆除的迈克尔杰克逊雕像目前有了归宿！

它将被永久安置在曼彻斯特的国家足球博物馆里。

该雕像由亿万富翁、富勒姆原拥有者穆罕默德•法耶德打造，以纪念他的朋友迈克尔，但却招致部分球迷抨击MJ的雕像与足球主题完全不搭。

富勒姆被转卖后，雕像被拆除，现在将捐给博物馆。法耶德表示满意。



The Michael Jackson statue that so divided opinion among Fulham fans before it was removed by new owner Shahid Khan is to find a permanent home at Manchester’s National Football Museum.
The sculpture has been in a warehouse owned by former owner Mohamed Al Fayed, a close friend of Jackson, since it was taken down last September from its prominent Thames-side location at Craven Cottage.

Fayed commissioned the statue to stand outside Harrods after Jackson died in 2009. But after selling the store, he switched the site to Fulham, where the King of Pop watched one game as the chairman’s guest in 1999.

The National Football Museum approached Al Fayed about a loan after it was removed from Craven Cottage, and once contracts have been agreed, the 7ft 6in memorial is due to occupy a showcase position near the entrance to the museum in the distinctive Urbis Building.

Fayed had other options, including an unlikely sale to former Fulham manager Martin Jol. The Dutchman has an eclectic art collection and made it clear he was prepared to pay ￡20,000 to have Jackson in his garden. But preliminary talks stopped after Jol was sacked last December.

Fayed said: ‘The National Football Museum is a splendid institution. The statue means a great deal to me and my family. But on reflection, I decided it should go to a place where it can be enjoyed by the greatest amount of people for ever. I think Michael would have approved of the choice. Like football itself, he entertained the world.’

An NFM spokeswoman said: ‘The story behind the statue and its relationship with Fulham would certainly make for a thought-provoking addition. We are very grateful to Mr Al Fayed for offering to donate this important item.’

这样很好，每支球队几乎都有百年历史，老实说MJ对人家的球队和俱乐部有啥贡献？确实是不搭的。

《每日邮报》富勒姆球场外的杰克逊雕像终于找到家了！雕像所有者法耶德将它租借给了英国国家足球博物馆用以展示。杰克逊雕像此前伫立在克拉文农场球场前，由于球迷意见分歧，去年九月球队新老板沙希德•可汗把雕像移走。之后流行巨星的雕像就一直呆在法耶德的仓库里，直到最近被国家足球博物馆接收。

　　法耶德是杰克逊的密友，2009年杰克逊去世，法耶德把雕像放在了哈罗兹百货商店的门口。自己的店铺卖掉后，他又把雕像摆在了富勒姆主场克拉文农场球场外靠近泰晤士河的一侧，以此纪念1999年杰克逊作为俱乐部主席的贵宾在这里观看足球比赛。

　　富勒姆前主帅马丁约尔曾出价2万英镑向法耶德收购这座雕像，但谈判刚开始就不得不因约尔家中遭洗劫而作罢。国家足球博物馆在雕像被搬离球场后开始同法耶德接触，希望租借雕像，随后合同达成，7.6英尺的雕像将会被安置在博物馆入口附近。

　　法耶德说：“国家足球博物馆是一个出色的机构，这座雕像对我和我的家人有很大意义。经过再三考虑，我认为它应该被放在一个能够展示给更多人的地方。迈克也会同意我的选择的，就像足球一样，迈克杰克逊也给世界带来了欢乐。”

　　国家足球博物馆的发言人称很感激法耶德拿出了如此重要的物品，这座雕像背后的故事和它与富勒姆球队之间的联系都为它添加了更多内涵。
