Thought as much, similar to the KC, The FA don't actually "own" it, WNSL do, had Sport England and Central Government funding, valued at over £1bn (well over), can't see this being legally (or morally) right.

They have to pay back £127m, but selling Wembley shows the "class" of the FA Am sure the remainder will be divided equally between the relevant "good causes"...

Don't know what the fuss is. First if Khan buys it he will surely want will want to see it being used for more than a handful of NFL games. And if he doesn't want the CC final its not as if that's the end of the competition, there are other venues around the country and they managed well enough when Wembley was being rebuilt.

The 'new' Wembley Stadium may be pretty soulless and the area around it a cultural desert but it's the home of the Challenge Cup final and the competition and the sport in general will be poorer should it move to a new location. When you win a semi final you sing about going to Wembley, not about going to a final.



Hopefully a potential new owner will not mean the final has to move.

THe whole point of selling it is due to the financial cost of servicing the debt. Hence, with the sale proceed s they would pay off the debt

The FA have been totally useless if they haven't managed to service the debts since Wembley way completed and subsequent land sales were made. I was at Wembley about 8 weeks ago, the areas around it are a building site, the FA owned most of that land.
