Seems the FA are determined to sell Wembley. Thoughts? Get rid? Terrible atmosphere? Not what it was. Or, keep it? Home of football, don't sell off the family silver?
Why on earth would they sell it to an American (Fulham owner) who wants to use it to grow American Football in this country? I can't stand the game but why would the English FA want to strengthen American Football in this country? Why let the NFL park their tanks on the lawn of English Football? Let Khan build his own stadium if he's that desperate to grow the NFL. It would cost a billion to buy land and build a 90000 seater stadium from scratch in London. Why are they doing it?
The money will go back to grassroots football, we are told...
If you're going to sell it, why not open it up to the open market? Something stinks about the deal. It feels like Khan is getting an awful lot for less than it cost to build.......... The debt the FA owe for building it will soon be paid off. It's a win-win for whoever owns in the future. Why is the FA selling now? It doesn't have to. Madness.
Part of the deal will force England to carry on playing there and for FA Cups/Play offs to be staged there etc so we're still going to have to go to the bleddy place!!!
Weirdly, I've learnt that the FA never used to 'own' the old classic Wembley anyway and just leased it.
