Christ that is sobering.
Another little factoid conveniently swept under the carpet is that the Fulham chairman has just applied to Wembley to play there for 10 years for the sole use of his American Football team. Given that Levy has leveraged an awful lot of finance on his ambition, and it is only ambition. Nothing is signed yet. To borrow on building the stadium with American Football money. The idea the NFL will allow two different teams to operate in London seems a bit far fetched.
Even if his much trumpeted deal was reality it is only 2 games a year.How much is that actually worth? 61k of fans buying a few cokes and burgers and a slice of the ticket revenue doesn't seem much value for basically redesigning the stadium and adding a huge cost to the building of the stadium.
It's not up to the Fulham/Jags owner. The decision lies solely with the NFL.
The same NFL who have a tied up, legally binding deal to play a minimum of two regular season games for 10 years at WHL from 2018 (subject to planning permission), who are, according to the word on the street, increasingly disillusioned with Wembley and, again rumoured, to be negotiating with Twickenham to play 2 game for 10 years there from 2018.
