THE KEY QUESTIONS

Why does Khan want to buy Wembley? Jacksonville Jaguars have already established a strong NFL presence in London through regularseason matches being played at Wembley in front of sell-out crowds and have “home” matches scheduled at least through to 2020. With Twickenham last year and Tottenham’s new stadium also set to host NFL matches when it opens as part of a 10-year agreement, it seems a matter of when, not if, a franchise comes to London – and Khan’s proposed Wembley purchase would put the Jaguars in pole position. Where would England play? Wembley will still be known as the national stadium despite any sale. While the national stadium was being redeveloped, the Three Lions went on a popular tour including venues in the North-east, plus Villa Park, Elland Road, St Mary’s, Leicester, Derby, West Ham and even Ipswich. Another successful road trip is perhaps long overdue. What would the FA do with all that money? Well, according to Khan, it would allow the FA to “focus on its core mission of developing players with the best player developers and facilities anywhere in the game” – which should go down well on Hackney Marshes... What does it mean for Tottenham’s new stadium? Spurs chairman Daniel Levy signed a 10-year deal with the NFL for two matches a year at the club’s new 62,000-seater stadium. Fortunately for them, even if Jacksonville set up home at Wembley, it is not thought this would prevent further matches being hosted at the new White Hart Lane when the initial deal expires. Does this mean Fulham are set for a new home if the deal goes through? Highly unlikely. In a lengthy statement on the club’s website, Khan made it clear he remains committed to redeveloping Craven Cottage rather than uprooting the club lock, stock and barrel to Brent. He said: “No less attention will be paid to developing players and fielding a squad that will win with frequency and always make you proud.”
