They are shit outfit i you know anything about NFL. One decent season last year and thats about it.

Besides more importantly its wrong for the FA to even consider his offer thats lower than the value of wembley and not a penny of the money offered will go back into the game.

If he wants to uproot his NFL team and prevent a new franchise been offered to the uk cause there is no feckin way on gods green earth will fulham ever fill wembley then he is better off moving the team around the country there are plenty of big venues that will have guaranteed sell outs.

Maybe they could come to HP if they miss out on Wembley.

"for the FA to even consider his offer thats lower than the value of wembley and not a penny of the money offered will go back into the game."

But that is the dream result for a Tory led FA. Privatisation and to a foreign owner, perfect.

The cost to build and the value are two different things....assuming that they should be the same is not factual.

Sell it.

Give the proceeds to the upper echelons of the FA, the top Premiership players, and all the various agents, solicitors and negotiators involved.

Smoke some crack.

Forget abait it.

£161million of taxpayers and lottery money was used on building that stadium....have they the right to sell our national stadium.

How the fook the FA are bust is beyond me. We literally can't run a pissup in the brewery that is the G of B nowadays. we should kick the whole of the FA, and FIFA whilst we are on one out on their collective arses and start from scratch. Then tell the Yank to fook off.

(I copied this post from Akkers thread on terrace which I thought was about this but it's not.)

I reckon this guy will make Wembley great again.

The Tory way, build it with tax payer's cash, flog it to some foreign chap, pop the cash into your pension fund.
