Quote:He is still running his billion dollar company. He is probably in Jacksonville less than you realize. He trusts his executives (Lamping, Caldwell, Bradley) to run the organization without him. 

Khan is spending more time here of late, but he still logs most of his time in IL.  Lamping was hired to oversee his ventures here as well as in London related to the sports franchises he owns. 

 

When they hired Lamping, it was a complete departure from the structure we've been accustomed to.  I thought it was an interesting hire based on his pedigree.  His track record speaks for itself.  You have to imagine that being hired to run the business side of things for this franchise and for Fulham has to be kind of a dream job for Lamping.  He and Khan could wind up being the architects of a REAL renaissance here in Jacksonville, and neither had anything to do with this city a few years ago.
