MAF - Dont like Michael? Go to hell!
Mr Al Fayed unveiled the tribute to his late friend ahead of Fulham's Premier League match against Blackpool on Sunday. He had wanted to put the statue outside London's Harrods store, which he previously owned, but could not get permission.
So Mr Al Fayed decided to erect the memoria near the football club's ground in the city's near the football club's ground in the city's southwest - to much consternation from Fulham fans. But the chairman dismissed criticism of the statue as "stupid".
"Football fans love it. If some stupid fans don't understand and appreciate such a gift they can understand and appreciate such a gift they can go to hell," he said."I don't want them to be fans.
If they don't understand and don't believe in things I believe in they can go to Chelsea, they can go believe in they can go to Chelsea, they can go to anywhere else"People will queue to come and visit it from al over the UK and it is something that I and everybody else should be proud of."
Mr Al Fayed invited Jackson to watch a Fulham match in 1999.
