It seems that for several months the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the F A, Martin Glenn, has been in talks with Shahid Khan who wants to buy the Wembley Football Stadium and its operating activities, for a Billion US Dollars !
How long would Wembley survive as a renowned center of football when the new owners find a better return with another type of operation ?
If the F A sell the renowned Wembley stadium they are in fact selling the Crown Jewels of English Football !
At the same time is it not also an admission that the Executives of the F A do not know how to make a profit from running a Football Stadium ? Do they not know anyone who could be consulted for advice ?
Even if selling Wembley solves all their financial problems, the sales price must be justified ! Is it too low ? Where would the National England team play its international games and at what cost ?
The Football Association should remember the fate of the famous old White City stadium which was built to host the 1908 Olympic Games. It was demolished in 1985 and it now houses part of the BBC and a Commercial center !
