He put this team together because he thought we'd be bad enough to finish dead last, knocking attendance down to the point where he could move the team to London... and get rid of all of us for better personnel.

It'll be two home games first. The new CBA and network deals will hose smaller markets, and ticket sales will remain low as the team sinks back into mediocrity. We'll start to get rumblings that Khan is looking into the legalities and technicalities of playing overseas full time, and working with the league to figure out salary cap tweaks and logistics of having a team based in London. Things like away games being clumped into 3-4 game stretches so the team (which will probably ditch the Jaguars moniker) isn't flying back and forth to America every week. Then the inevitable talk of TIAA Bank Field being outdated and in need of massive refurbishment or complete replacement will come up. The downtown development will continue to go nowhere, and finally Khan will come out and say that keeping the Jaguars in Jacksonville was somehow dependent upon that downtown development, then dump the property onto someone like Sleiman who'll jump at the chance to buy it all up on the cheap. With the development dead, tickets not selling, the stadium being too old to remain viable and the new CBA and TV deal being so unfavorable for smaller markets, the team is no longer viable in Jacksonville.

By 2024, this team will be based in London.

Unless everyone involved screws up and pulls a couple of late-season wins out of their [BLEEP].
