Man City chairman exposes how the club will honor Sergio Aguero’s legacy and that of three other players.
In his yearly end-of-season interview, looking back at the past nine months, Al Mubarak conversed about the club’s future intentions to erect a statue to honor lately departed club legends Sergio Agüero, Vincent Kompany, and David Silva.
“It’s the least we can do,” he began, “Throughout the last couple of years, if you look at everything we’ve achieved and if you look at the players that have been legends for this club, it was always in the back of our minds that we have a responsibility for the generations to come.”
Khaldoon continued; “David Silva, Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany, Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta. These are players that have given incredible contributions.”
While the chairman noted a handful of names that will go down in Manchester City history forever, three particular names stood out to him.

“When you look at Silva, Vincent and Sergio particularly, I think their influence on this club and on English football is unquestionable and therefore, having statues respecting their contributions is completely well-deserved for them and for our community and our fan base.”
And although the Abu Dhabi body only took the club over in 2008, Al Mubarak was ready to recognize the participation of the legends who came before him, and the rest of the more recently named club executives.
“I think for the next 50 to a hundred years, people will look back at these players in the same way we look back at some of the other greats – Colin Bell, Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee,” the chairman exclaimed.
“Who, by the way, we are thinking right now of how best to show our respect and appreciation for what they have contributed.”
“This ownership group was not part of that era, but, having said that, it’s such a critical part of our history and it needs to be immortalised. I think these are things that we are now discussing. It’s a no brainer and it’s absolutely the right thing to do.”
