From what I read there is only a proposal for £850 Million from the owner of Fulham. England would still play there and cup finals and FA would still own all the food and drink stands. No mention if the FA would need to find new HQ.

He would then look to start a new NFL Franchise, presumably the London Jaguars.

Is it even theirs to sell? didn't the taxpayer fork out a fair portion of the rebuild cost.
