Howard Kendall RIP

[The Esk]

....love the thought of a Holy Trinity statue but nothing would be more fitting for it to be unveiled by the last remaining member.

Tough call isn't it. I guess the decision as to when rather than if must lay with Colin.

Kinell mate. We got on so well as well.

If you want to model a statue on an adequate but unspectacular parks level left back, I am your man.

I think he's just talking about the unveiling mate !

I think he's just talking about the unveiling mate !

. His 35th Everton appearance also triggered a new 12-month extension to his existing contract.

Yeah, tis. Wish I would read stuff properly sometimes. Like divorce settlements for one, ffs.

See?

Sake.

We should get @micknick to unveil it and smile into the camera. Women all over the world will see the image and become life long Evertonians

In the wake of Howard's passing and the immediate calls for stands and roads to be re-named, statues to be erected and suchlike, non of which I am against... there is another possibility that could also be considered for and to permanently honour the Holy Trinity.

What would people think about the club retiring the number 4, 6 and 8 shirts in honour of Howard, Colin Harvey and Bally in similar vein to the way ice hockey honours retired players ?

@Dario Terracotta @Khalekan @the esk @Groucho @roydo @Woolly Blue @LinekersLegs @chicoazul @davek @ijjysmith

Not for me, Block.

Do that and then someone will say let's retire the 9 in honour of Dixie.....the 5 in honour of Labby.....etc.

And who is to say no to that once the precedent had been set?

The statue is a must though, IMO.

Big Dunc in today's programme.

"When I found out the sad news ahead of our game against Manchester United, a part of me also died. Words cannot do justice to such an incredible man. Everton's greatest ever manager will simply never be forgotten. Rest in peace to a true Everton legend."

 

[Bazlar]

It's been a tough week or so for all blues. I would like to say though that the whole club and Everton family have handled this impeccably. Class, dignity, style. Be proud Evertonians. We have showed plenty this week as only we can do

 

[MACCA75]

Probably been said, but a lot of credit to the Sunderland fans for joining in with the tribute so wholeheartedly. I know Howard still has friends and family in the area, and he would have been delighted to see that.

I was 5yrs old and I live in the US when he began managing Everton so I cannot personally understand and have the connection that most of the forum has with this manager.

But I can understand tradition, leadership and pride. It truly is amazing how the Everton family comes together for their own and for that I am eternally grateful for his legacy.

I didn't notice it live, but on MOTD2 it was clear they were not just applauding but chanting "One Howard Kendall!!"

Excellent from the Sunderland fans.

 

[CrustySack]

Why has this been unpinned might I ask?

 

[allezlesbleus]

I favour the statue idea rather than numbers or even re-naming the stands. I would love it to happen sooner rather than later although I would be swayed by Harvey's preference if he wanted to wait. The iconic photo of the three of them celebrating the goal is instantly recognisable to every Blue.... To turn it into a 3D statue like Dixie's would be ace.
