Stand and statue: I disagree.
Renaming the stadium: I disagree.
Comparable to Wolves and Bull or Bournemouth and Fletcher: I disagree.

I'd recognise him making his home in south Wales is another reason to remember him with stand or statue.

But I'd love to know where you got the idea I was one of his biggest critics from. I've been on here decades so plenty of posts to send me to remind me what I said.
Why isnt it comparable to Bull? Both played 400+ games for their clubs. Whitts played just 61 fewer games for us than Bull did for Wolves. Yes Bull scored more goals but he was a striker. Can stands only be named after strikers? Add their assists and I doubt Whitts would be far behind him.
