Khan offers to buy Wembley for £800m

Now. What are the FA thinking? Selling the National football stadium to some Yank in the home he may take his gridiron team over here. What would this do beyond damage English football? This is a terrible idea and I hope it is just another bit of fake news.

If they wanted to sell, we could have taken it off their hands back in the 90s but they refused to let us have it and save the Old Wembley.

It would mean taking England games around the country. Semi finals back at neutral grounds. Final as well at a club ground. No different to how Spain do it.

Hasn't harmed them.

Can't see it happening though. Wembley is their selling point when they want to host tournaments and it has the semis and final of the next euros.

I want it to happen

Just so I can read the anguish in the Daily Mail at a Pakistani owning Wembley Stadium

Would be so worth it.

This would mean more international games at the Emirates/Old Trafford - as well as the League Cup Final and FA Cup SFs/Final.

Google Sports Arena - the new name of Wembley. Made me laugh.

Why? Is Khan planning on tearing it down? Why would they have to move just because he owns it?

Would be jokes if he buys it and then refuses to let England play there.

Because he will have it so that his Yankee gridiron team gets priority over England. Most English fans who watch NFL at Wembley only do it because it is a novelty, there won't be any fans if he kicks out England from their home.
