I'd wager that Khan can return the capital investment in less than 10 years without a problem and be sitting on a goldmine in terms of the inflated worth of the property at that time. 

MSG rakes in over 100 million in gross revenue annually. There is no reason why that model cannot apply to Wembley. And it's more than 4 times the capacity!

So endless that the stadium sits empty 11 months of the year, while MSG (an indoor arena) has events most nights of the year.

This is too either keep the Jaguars playing a game in London or to move the team.

It's not Khan's fault that the current ownership of Wembley does a bad job of managing, booking, and promoting the facility. 

That will change. Just as things around Everbank Stadium have changed. 

How much money do you think 4 sold out nights of Ed Sheeran concerts and four sold-out nights of Taylor Swift concerts are bringing to the stadium ownership this spring and summer in London? 

You don't see the scope of the revenue this place is already making and what it will become under aggressive ownership whose far and away primary agenda is not just soccer.

I’m not talking about moving the Jaguars here - I’m talking about getting a bigger say on the games played there, a bigger share of the profits and maybe playing an extra game there.

Making money will be part of it too, and he’ll probably do very well out of it.

Of course it wasn't his sole aim, but he won't let potential revenue choose other venues if he can draw them to Wembley instead. I expect they will aim to book the facility much more aggressively than it has been in recent years.
