Moderator Tommy Posted May 21, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just coming back from a wedding. First time I experienced a wedding in a Church, which was bewildering at times, but still an honour to be there for my friend. Party was fun as well. And first thing I did when I came home was booking Fortuna tickets for tomorrow! 95 OLE! Good night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, they do play good football. How do you feel about RB (a manufactured club albeit incredibly well run and doesn't rely on huge transfers) vs. a sugar-daddy but old club like Chelsea or ManCity vs. a club that has been run into the ground like Leeds or Parma?

I have similar feelings about sugar-daddy clubs, not anywhere near to the same degree though. I don't personally like or support the concept (I'm old school and for me, football's too commercialised as it is already), but I don't really care either because those are not German clubs, and most importantly, because all other clubs in their league have equal playing ground - as in any club can sell themselves if they want to and manage to find someone willing to take over. Which is not the case in Germany due to the 50+1 rule as you probably know, so basically some clubs are just using loopholes and the fact that ultimately, DFL doesn't give a fuck, and thus they (i.e Hoffenheim, Leipzig) are gaining an unfair advantage over the rest who are at least trying to play according to the rules. As for the way RB Leipzig are run, they might not rely on big name transfers, but their transfer balance in the last 5 years is -110 million €, that's more than any other club including Bayern, and they were playing as low as the 4th tier during that time, always spending more (without selling!) than all other clubs added together (in their respective league at the time). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What annoys me most about RB Leipzig is that it's called RB Leipzig. Even their name tastes of stale, corporate megalomania. But, as said, football in general is too far gone these days, so I can't bring myself to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can see your point, averting the 'Red Bull' label but keeping the 'RB'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
