Mac the Knife Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Shad Khan In Deal to Buy Wembley Stadium. Just when you thought the NFL Franchise Merry Go Round had stopped for a while... new speculation emerges. It seems unlikely to me, but has Khan given up on Jacksonville and is he willing to take the London plunge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krz Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Maybe it’s just a back up in case they stop making the playoffs for awhile, or just a property investment. (Just dreaming) Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just dreaming) I'd say it's more related to this. The English national team is actually playing games away from Wembley and would want to make up the difference on the money they still owe on the stadium. It could also be possible that if Fulham decides to upgrade Craven Cottage he'd be able to slot them straight into Wembley for a year without dealing with a bunch of red tape on the way there. Somehow if the NFL let a team move to London they'd probably want them to play at Tottenham since they have the field ready to go throughout the year due to the sliding turf being installed there.

The FA is set to pay off the Wembley debt by 2024, or just 17 years after opening. That's pretty good even after converting 5,000 Club Seats into general seating w/o access due to a drop in demand last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OaklandIsBack Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If any sport was going to have an overseas team football would make the most sense. Any other sport would be a scheduling nightmare The Jags would have to hit on every draft pick, no free agent is signing up to live in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If they ever did move to London the new logo should just be Shad Khan's mustache, nothing else. Tally-Ho, off to Wembley we go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I probably have next-to-nothing in common with most NFL players, so you're likely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Toronto Wolfpack are providing that it can work. I'd imagine the jags would play in the us during the non-bye weeks, and have teams come to them when they have a bye week after.

To most people, a high paying jorb in a city like London would be a dream come true.
