Stadium shambles: What the key players had to say

-

Shahid Khan Billionair­e owner of Fulham

‘I wanted to do right in a manner that strengthen­s the English game and brings people together, not divides them. I’ve concluded the outcome of a vote would be far from sufficient in expressing the broad support favoured by the FA chairman to sell Wembley. Until there is an unmistakab­le directive from the FA to close a sale, I am withdrawin­g my offer.’

What Glenn said: ‘Mr Khan expressed to us that, without stronger support from within the game, his offer is being seen as more divisive than it was anticipate­d and he has withdrawn his proposal. Wembley will continue to thrive under the ownership and directive of the FA.’
