The local radio show this afternoon was describing Khan methods. He is lobbying for more British games for the London Jaguars based in Jacksonville. He was steamed he didn't get a second REGULAR season game on the 2018 schedule. 

City Hall has NO spine whatsoever. His design is run training camp in Jacksonville and he gets to keep the property around the stadium in order to capture ANY profits Jacksonville generates in future sporting events sans Jaguars.

Why do so many fans continue to like Shad Khan? He is a terrible man terrorizing all of us with his veiled threats. The NFL owners rejected his attempts to buy the St. Louis Rams years back. He was only allowed to buy the Jaguars with the understanding the team would NOT move. While Jacksonville owes these owners a debt of appreciation, these owners who forced this pledge aren't getting any younger.

I really doubt there is anybody in town who would not buy into the idea that we can replace and/or renovate the stadium making it a domed facility for the Jaguars.

So many inaccuracies in this post.  For starters, the NFL owners did not reject Shad's attempts to buy the Rams. Stan Kroenke had the first option to buy after the original owner died. Second, Khan doesn't own the property around the stadium - the city does. 

When teams move, it's only after years of failed negotiations with their home city to build a new stadium. The conspiracy theory that Khan will just up and move after the lease is up is BS. It doesn't work that way. My guess is, before the lease is up, Kahn and the city will talk about a new stadium, or major renovations to the current one.  That's when the talk of leaving could happen - but only if the city and the team come to an impasse. But so far, the city of Jacksonville has given Khan everything he's asked for. And I pity the mayor who would allow the Jaguars to leave on his or her watch.
