They have to move to London now, right?

Khan's not going to flee that investment Jacksonville made in the Lot J development. The Jaguars are going to remain in Jacksonville, but I think the Jaguars' presence in London will expand. l get the sense Jacksonville will have to share the Jaguars. What identity will the franchise assume? That's going to be the issue.

I think this is more a case of self-fulfilling prophecy than anything.

First, I don't see how you can acknowledge the question as any bit serious. Vic recgnizes that Khan has put a bunch of resources into the area and would be a fool to discard that. We all know that London is part of the model, and probably will still be when we are winning and selling out the local venue. ....or am I just dumping on the town too? Our fans don't travel well, you don't see seas of teal in visiting stadia, so I could easily envision at least two games a year overseas, they don't have to be home games, as long as the tickets are selling.

Dumping on the town would be to have answered "Probably not, but no idea why Khan keeps dumping his cash into a town that cannot and will not support the one gig they got going for them."  Notice the difference?

Is there any Jags fans who believe we have to share identity with London? Does anyone now, or in the future, automatically think of London whenever they hear of the Jaguars football team?

This is nothing more than Vic attempting to paint a picture of this franchise being dependent upon London keeping it afloat and relevant. I like some of Vic’s takes on things, but it’s obvious he holds Jacksonville in disdain.
