Bundesliga

SSV Markranstadt still exists. They didn’t buy a club and then change everything. They just bought the playing rights from them to play in the fifth tier of German football.

Ahh so they literally just started their own club.

Long live Bayern Munich whlist that club is the epitome of commercialization of football. Allianz Arena, Audi and Adidas are actually stockholders. Seems hypocritical.

Tbf they were outspending everyone else by a landslide all the way up to the Bundesliga. Even prior to their promotion from the second highest tier to the Bundesliga 2/3 of the transfer money was spent by Leipzig alone (16m out of 26m) while having a lower mid table Bundesliga budget to work with. Anything but promotion wasn’t really acceptable.

There is certainly something to be learned in regards to youth development, but keep in mind that this whole Red Bull structure is set up in a way that it gives them a huge advantage over other clubs due to having their own farm teams for those players to develop.

Not really. You’re talking about Bayern Munich AG, of which Bayern ev is a 75% fan-owned majority shareholder, so actually in compliance with 50+1

So because they are in compliance with that ‘rule’ they are not an highly commercialized club? Bayern resembles ‘modern’ football like no other club.

Henrichs signs until 2022.

There goes my stake in the “first youngster who reaches world class” contest. :neutral_face:

Hamburger SV are the only German club to have played every season in the Bundesliga since it’s 1963 inception.

That changes today because MGG will save Wolfsburg.

If they go down (which they won’t, cause MGG will save them), MGG will certainly land on his feet. Maybe he’ll join United and show them what a real #9 looks like. :grinning:

Check the last 3 seasons before this one. Someone following the league as closely as you do should know :slight_smile:

Actually…they’re only playing to not get drawn into the relegation play-off, no?

EDIT:

@PPB Yup. Hamburg always win the play-off. :slight_smile:

GOAT just inches wide. :expressionless:

Are you nervous? :mustafi:

Lol, no. I just want GOAT to score. :sunglasses:
