FA Council to review Wembley sale plan
The sale of Wembley moved a step closer on Thursday after the Football Association announced plans to review the deal with the FA Council next month.
How the proposed £600million sale to Fulham and Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan would be invested back into “football community facilities” will also be presented on October 11.
Thursday’s announcement comes five months after the FA confirmed it had received an offer for the national stadium from Khan.
