What do people think about this?

In my opinion the firstly it's stupid to sell a building in London that cost 800 million 10 years ago for 600 million. The land and building must be worth in excess of 1 billion by now, well done FA. Secondly is the claim it's to help grassroots football, you mean the same grass roots football they've been promising to invest in for decades?

Martin Glenn is an idiot to use the example of Germany having double the 3G pitches we have, yeah they do and ours is the richest FA in the world so what exactly is the excuse for it? Also we're a smaller country and still can't adequately provide the correct number of pitches.

Thirdly the stadium is around 170 million in debt but it's paid off in 6 years and then for the next 40 years would have made us a lot of money which now is going to go to Jacksonville American Football team and Khans pockets??!!

They try and sugarcoat it but all it's doing is lining the pockets of the FA board members which I'm sure each one will get a nice bonus to ensure the transaction runs smoothly. How can we sell our national stadium for less than we built it to an Amercian Football franchise??

If the reason was given that we want to England team to play all over England again then fair enough but don't sell a massive stadium and plot of land in London for 200-300 million less than it cost you 10 years ago?? Who would do this?? We all know the FA are incompetent but something about isn't right about this, they're rushing through a fast sale to line their pockets.


Seeing as quite a chunk of taxpayers money was used as well then I'd expect us to see some benefit or be consulted. What? We won't be? Now there's a surprise but as long as the rich can line their pockets even more then who cares about the taxpayer eh? Sick of getting done over everyday by tw@ts in their mansions, the whole system in this country stinks to high heaven.
