You have no clue what you are talking about. Just stop. And you've quoted the resident delusional conspiracy theorist BTW. 

Wembley is a revenue stream for the Jaguars that helps balance the budget -  making a small market team sustainable financially on a level equal to those teams with larger markets and greater revenue. 

Many other NFL owners are now looking at these "home games" in London and the easy revenue bump they provide and they are envious of the Jags tenure and position there. 
If the league were to cater to these owners and begin having more league-wide games there, Khan will now profit from every single contest - not only those featuring his own team. 
It also places him in a more powerful position among owners and with the league in general. 

Assuming that Khan bought the stadium because he wants to move the Jags is lazy and fearful. 

I have no reason not to believe Khan and Lamping when they say they have no intention of moving the team. They've made strides every year to do exactly the opposite of that and their actions and words are still in step with that. 

Khan is a billionaire and he buys things. Now he bought a stadium in London.  No big deal.

Well thats good. But the bottom line is, as many of you have stated, khan is a businessman. And the business of the jags in jax has lost money every year. If the london game makes so much money for the franchise, its foolish to think he won't expand on that practice. 
The nfl has increased the games in london these past few years. Now it is at least fair to say if a team does move to london, it will be the jags.
