London, Sep 22 (IANS): Mohammed al Fayed, former owner of Craven Cottage football stadium in Fulham, has requested that Michael Jackson's statue outside the ground should be relocated to his another property.
The statue was created in 2011 as a tribute to MJ.
The statue, which was commissioned after Michael's death in 2009, was originally planned to be located outside Harrods, an upmarket department store here, but when al Fayed sold the Knightsbridge store in 2010, the statue was put up at the football ground.
The club now belongs to US billionaire Shahid Khan and the new owner has extensive plans to revamp the riverside ground in which the statue doesn't feature, reports contactmusic.com.
"The statue is not part of the riverside development of the stadium and will be returned to the former chairman in due course," said a Fulham spokesperson.
