Quote:Thing is, Khan has been very fait towards the city so far. He hasn't asked them to make concessions they haven't already agreed to, all the expansions to the stadium in the past few years have been within the established contracts between the Jaguars and the city. Khan has even gone as far as agreeing to cover the costs of any budget overruns on the stadium improvements. The man has shown himself to be not just a shrewd businessman but a fair one as well and it's why I have very little patience for any criticism of Khan.

 

As for the London game; I don't think we have much to fear of any team taking that away from us. No team in the NFL seems to want to play in London that bad, most of them just play there to get some kind of benefit or because they don't have much to lose from moving a home game to London. 

I agree about Khan, he isn't Spanos or Kroenke who were gunning to leave. I think he doesn't mind keeping the Jaguars in J-ville at all, and would probably prefer that. But that being said, when another team starts talking about going to London if their stadium demands aren't met, thats when we will see how committed he really is. He wants more London 'home' games for money and market, and I am okay with it as it buys us more time. Threaten that golden goose tho, and we might get different treatment. In ten years Jax better be building a new stadium with a much more 'iron clad' lease if we really want the jags to stay. I would say a billion dollar penalty would be a real 'iron clad' thing at this point, but 500 million might be enough with all the relocation fees he would have to pay.
