He doesn't own it, they wouldn't sell to him.

The FA would but since it was partly funded with government grants the British government said they might try to block the sale. Khan withdrew the offer before it got to that point.

The only thing I'll add is I don't know how much say Shad has on the London schedule. Honestly not sure the process. Does he work with the NFL to come up with good matchups or does the NFL basically dictate who we will play and when. Not sure how it works.

As others have said, the Wembley deal fell through. Regardless, they fill that one game up much more easily than Jacksonville fills up our 7 games. They dont need the Steelers to show up to fill up Wembley. I have to think Indy in London and Steelers in Jax will have more combined fans at those two games than Steelers in London and Indy in Jax.

It's been divisional games lately, right?
I'll say thumbtacks.
If we play two, the roadie might be an inter-conference game. GB has yet to play in London, and no home team likes to give up their game with the pack because they travel so well. GB may be ok with losing a Jags game because it would be the equivalent of a cupcake game for them. It would sell like hotcakes (or better, curry?) in London, too.
