Fulham have confirmed that the Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage will be removed from the ground following a negative response to the tribute from supporters.
The statue was put in place by former owner Mohamed Al Fayed following the death of the American singer in 2009.
A statement on the club's official website from new owner Shahid Khan said: "Craven Cottage means the world to generations of Fulham supporters, and I have heard from many of them over the past two months.
"Our supporters' views on the statue have been made clear. I respect Mr Al Fayed and know he had good intentions in paying an individual tribute. However, the removal of the statue is the right thing for Fulham Football Club."
It has been claimed that the statue will be given back to Al Fayed.
