It was around this time yesterday afternoon when I first heard the news.
Returning to my desk, at the day-time job, I glimpsed a picture of Wembley Stadium accompanied by one of Shahid Khan, the owner of our neighbours Fulham and also the American Football team the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Trying to piece together the script that was emanating from the muted office television, I was soon aware of the fact that Khan had offered to buy Wembley Stadium for the sum of £800 million.
Since then, every man and his dog seem to have a view on whether the sale should be sanctioned.
Polls, run by a variety of news sources, seem to indicate that the public are against Wembley Stadium being sold to a private company or individual.
The possible sale, it appears, really has upset the apple-cart and disturbed the equilibrium ahead of the round of Premier League fixtures this weekend.
But, if the Football Association do decide to sell, what would the ramifications be?
Firstly, I’m sure that any sale would include clauses in the contract whereby England fixtures would remain at Wembley, as would the finals of the domestic cups and possibly those associated with the Football League play-offs, but would that be where the buck stops?
If Khan were to become the owner, it’s pretty certain that he’d want to stage many more American Football games there. Those that are played there on an, at the moment, infrequent basis, generate huge amounts of revenue.
But would Khan be content on just increasing the number of fixtures or would he want to go the whole hog and set up a London franchise?
Clearly, only the man himself knows his true plans.
Continuing, it has been suggested that as the owner of Fulham Football Club he may move our neighbours to Wembley, despite it being blatantly obvious the Craven Cottage based club doesn’t have the fan-base to support such a major and expansive upheaval.
I’m also not sure the Fulham support would welcome such a move having fought so hard for a return to Craven Cottage after a period of nomadic existence.
But there are other matters to consider, a possible sale could reinvigorate grass roots football with the Football Association pledging to direct £500 million of the cash in that direction, a move that would benefit so many.
However, perhaps the biggest concern for Chelsea supporters is that a sale to Khan and the anticipated subsequent increase in American Football fixtures, could leave Chelsea in something of a predicament.
With Stamford Bridge set to undergo a complete rebuild, Wembley had been talked about as the most likely place for Chelsea to take up temporary residence, would that plan now be conducive to the plans Khan holds for what would be his latest acquisition?
Thought provoking times methinks!
