They should, can I suggest naming it "The Bell End" ? Think it would be rather fitting for themHe's also on a mural outside St Andrews: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sp...ude-bellingham-mural-birmingham-city-18645026
Had a glance at their fan forum and apparently a few wanted him to have a stand named after him.
Hilarious replies

Wait....what? They actually did that?Cringe... Like when Miami Heat in 2003 retired number 23, in honour of Jordan’s retirement, despite him never playing for them.... the hell is this?
We should rename Old Trafford the "Obertan Arena" in honour of our God.Valdes maybe not, but at the very least Kleberson, Obertan and Djemba Djemba
If you put it that way, he is definitely worthy.I thought it was major cringe when I seen it.
However, Jude Bellingham was courted by most top clubs at 16, and knew he was going to be leaving Birmingham within 1-2 season. When he broke into the first team, he could have signed a tribunal and went to another club for a minimal price like £3m or even less. He gave his word to Birmingham that he wouldn't do that to them as he respect them a lot. £20-30m to a club the size of Birmingham's is massive especially with the financial troubles they are in, there was talks of points deduction next season etc. They have been in all sorts of trouble in the last few years. This money has probably saved the club and Bellingham could have easily left for a small fee which was his right but he did an honorable thing by agreeing a contract and allowing Birmingham to get a top fee for him. He had nothing to gain out of it really.
AEL, a football club in Greece, retired 24 this year after American basketballer Koby Bryant died.Wait....what? They actually did that?
, don’t get clubs retiring shirts at the best of times, even more so if it’s a 17 year oldTweet

You mean like United tried to tune down expectations for the lad when they made it known that they brought/flew in SAF and Cantona to make an impression? Don't kid yourself the media attention/hype is inevitable when European top clubs fight over the latest wonderkid. The part that's actually manageable starts when there's football to be played.Absurd from Birmingham. The eyes and pressure on Bellingham is massive now. Apparently Mason Greenwood‘s dad asked United to protect him which is why the media has had virtually no access to him. Dortmund and Birmingham are doing the opposite to a younger player. He’s a meme already.
United didn’t make any of that public. All the noises are that Bellingham has an exceptional maturity and attitude (hence why he playing men’s football at 16) so hopefully he’ll deal with it.You mean like United tried to tune down expectations for the lad when they made it known that they brought/flew in SAF and Cantona to make an impression?
