Stop FA selling Wembley Stadium to Shahid Khan
Fulham owner Shahid Khan has made an offer, thought to be worth £900m, to buy Wembley Stadium from the Football Association.
Wembley Stadium is a national pride - the home of English football. We urge the PM and MPs to oppose actively and stop FA from selling the national stadium.
Fulham's billionaire owner Shahid Khan says he hopes a deal to buy Wembley Stadium from the Football Association will be completed in eight to 12 weeks.
Khan, who also owns NFL side Jacksonville Jaguars, has made an offer thought to be worth £900m.
It is understood he would pay £600m for the stadium and the FA will continue to run the £300m-valued Club Wembley hospitality business.
What now for FA Cup semi-finals and final? Or the other major trophy games and play-off finals? Could they stay at Wembley or will other big grounds such as Old Trafford or Emirates Stadium benefit as a result? In short, are we about to witness Wembley's status as the national stadium erode?
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Any decision about selling Wembley Stadium is the responsibility of the Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could contact the FA directly about this issue:

You could start a new petition to ask the UK Government to urge the FA not to sell Wembley Stadium.
