Fears raised that Exiles investors want NFL base at training ground

FEARS have been raised that London Irish’s ailing takeover could see the club’s Hazelwood training ground turned into an NFL franchise base
-
Sources close to the club have revealed concerns that the long-term aim of proposed investors would be to pave the way for the Hazelwood facility to be sold to either the NFL itself, or a London franchise.
Jacksonville Jaguars have long been tipped to make the leap across from the US to become the first overseas NFL franchise.
Irish’s state-of-the-art Hazelwood facility has hosted NFL teams in the UK and could fit the bill for an eventual training home should a team set up full-time shop in London.
Two-time Super Bowl winner and ex-Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis numbers among the consortium of former NFL and NBA stars bidding to buy London Irish from Powerday founder Mick Crossan.
Irish have until Monday to complete the takeover or prove funds for the full 2023/24 season, or face being booted out of the league structure by the RFU.
