Wembley is too large to host most events. It has been cut to basically nothing. The NFL isn't going to pay him a lot to use the stadium, they'll pay the standard leasing fee.

So unless there is some unknown increase in revenue coming that the current owners were so inept, then he won't be making money. Unless the Superbowl is coming, he loses money or moves the Jags.

It's an investment...You make money over the long haul and events...If the stadium hosted a few concerts a year, a few sporting events (other than NFL games) and other things Wembley has hosted in the past, he would make a good amount of money, then compound it by a number of years...Khan knows it needs renovated, he's ok with that...Look what he's done to the stadium in Jax...He will do the renovations needed to attract events and people...I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't build something similar to Daly's Place...

Once Mr. Khan renovates the stadium, he will find activities for the stadium to host...If Mr Khan didn't think there was money to be made by buying Wembley, he wouldn't have put in a bid to do so...He is a self made multi billionaire, I think I will trust his judgment over anyone on this board
