Should the Number 9 shirt be retired for good?

As a mark of respect, should the Number 9 shirt be retired for good?
After all, Adam and Tony are true City legends in every sense of the word.

Your views.

I agree entirely!

RIP STANNO & KELLOW

No. Stanno was part of the squad when he passed away and the club made the right decision to retire it for 9 seasons. After that someone else should be given he chance to share legendary no.9 status with these two amongst others.

Not a chance, it would belittle the stanno tribute if we double retire it.

Its a no from me as well. The Stanno retirement is totally understandable, but Tony wouldnt have wanted the shirt he represented so well by becoming our record goalscorer totally done away with.

I think 9 seasons is long enough, new legends will come along in time, for us to remember and reminise over.

This is why I asked for views, and I agree with what you are saying. My heart is saying yes and my head is saying no....May be a knee jerk reaction on my behalf, but in my defence, Tony Kellow (and Alan Beer) were my boyhood hero's.

I think shirt retirements are totally sentimental and the answer should always be no. Life goes on even after the worst bereavements.
