Not content with just owning London’s oldest stadium in one of its nicest areas, Khan wants to buy one of London’s newest in one of its grottiest.

Sounds like it will happen and the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team will be moving to London

Does this make sense for the FA though?
It secures some short term funding - which they are promising to grass roots. See any twitter thread on the subject to realise how much traction the promise holds.
Wembley is a profitable enterprise. There is still a debt mountain from its building, but it is being paid from the profits.
By not selling today, the FA have a greater income tomorrow. That adds up in my book

Khan got Ryan Sessegnon. He can do what he wants.
