[Football] FA receive offer to sell Wembley...

[beorhthelm]

i see that papers and politicians have gone full on "its a disgrace" mode, when the FA have only received an offer.

Should not be allowed to happen. I am sure if an Englishman tried to buy the National Stadium in any other country around the world he would be told were to go. The Stadium was built with tax payers money.

Modern Britain - Everything Must Go.

I'm sure Brexit will fix that.

The same DULLARD has just been on the BBC News Channel and said “If Fulham are promoted and move to Wembley it would effectively leave just one small club from London in the Premier League in the shape of Crystal Palace”

The fact someone wants to buy the stadium suggests that they think it can generate a viable income- and that they will see a profit on their initial investment.

So on that basis the FA is losing the opportunity for long term income which would total substantially beyond what they are being offered to sell?

Unless I’ve missed something it sounds like another public, income generating asset being sold off so a private company can make money..

It wasn't tax but a Lottery grant that allowed the FA to buy he OLD stadium off a private company.

Wembley had always been in private hands. Its not a "National Asset" by anyone's definition .

Do think it would be a good use of tax payers money to put the stadium into public ownership ?

In addition to the lottery money £161 million of tax payers public money was used to fund the building of the stadium.

Which should be paid back, but it isn't a national asset in my opinion.
