    It's never been a secret that Khan wants an NFL franchise in London, hence his deal to play Jaguars' games at Wembley until 2016. The next one on October 25th was mentioned in the 'Unlucky 13 for Kit' thread. Mute point whether he or his advisers thought the Craven Cottage pitch could be adapted for the NFL before he bought the Club - he clearly knows now it can't. That I fear may be an issue for the owner.

    English 'soccer' is the sacrificial lamb to American 'football's' cash cow. Pretty sure Khan's vision was always to enhance his investment by combining the two sports at a single venue. So .. who knows!?

    Mind you, in the world of business caveat emptor rules; MAF pulled the wool over Khan's eyes, good luck to him with Daniel Levy.

    I just can't see any substance in this it makes no sense at all, he would have to take a massive hit on Fulham after only two years and Spurs will cost half his fortune. He must have known our ground was never the best in London for massive NFL games plus didn't they only a year ago spend 100's of millions on the stadium in Jacksonville including the larges screen in the world??? This all before the argument of whether a full time London franchise is viable which is very much doubted by many in the NFL.

    I have a problem with the word "vision", in that, the word implies strategic actions to achieve a goal.
    But we are still pussy-footting around, in so many ways.

    I still don't think there is a 10 year plan. Apart from being a financial sustainable club.
