fwiw the old wembley was privately owned and no1 cared, tho i guess a difference here would be a YANK owning it which might get ppl all pissed off. personally i dont give a toss. only reason this new one is publicly owned is cos we urgently needed a new stadium and nobody else wanted to build the bluddy thing

jags are most likely moving but it might not be any time soon, for a start the nfl has deals in place with other stadiums to host minimum numbers of nfl games over the next few years (course, they could buy their way out of them..)
i expect khan has received strong assurances that there'll be an nfl team in london at some point in the near future. if the jags move doesn't work out and he doesn't wanna keep the building then he's got a virtually guaranteed buyer in the form of whoever owns the new london team. what i'm saying is that it doesn't HAVE to be the jags for his purchase to make sense, although it probably is
