You've essentially just set up a situation where they players will look at it as playing 16 road games. The players will view their 4 London "home" games as being just another set of road games. Sure, they may not have to physically travel during the 4-week bloc of "home" games but they will still be away from family, living out of hotels, etc, etc. They'll absolutely despise it.I'm pretty sure the league is more then capable of making this work, i've laid out the logistics before but i can do so again here.
The team in london would need to be a part of the AFCE. Shortest flights to london for the 3 teams that would play there every year.
The london team's schedule would be broken up into blocks of 4 home games, followed by 4 away games. Shad would maintain a facility, or go halvsies with a team in need of a new stadium here in the us, to provide them a "homebase" for when they are staying stateside.
Your suggestion may look good logistically but will never work from a human standpoint.
EDIT: I won't even address the logistical nightmare of a situation where a London team actually makes the playoffs because they'd be lucky to win 3 games with the above scenario.
