This is not really a possibility for Football teams in Europe. Real Madrid won't simply move to Paris or London  |
Teams don't really move all that often. Since 1982 there have been nine team moves and five of those involve either the Raiders or Rams. While teams that move may lose some fans they also gain a lot more. A quick search shows that a ton of European Football teams have moved over the years, but many of them seem to be smaller ones. If Real Madrid moved it would cause a crazy uprising from the fans and they would lose some, but I bet they would gain a ton in their new city. When it comes to sports, winning is what matters. If the team is winning, most everything is forgiven.
