Message: [QUOTE="spsct, post: 2470355, member: 658"] You're exactly right. In the past Bayern and Dortmund could buy who they wanted; player costs were doable for them. Now with the private ownership outside of Germany and the monster amounts of cash given to the English clubs by SKY even these two giants are getting picked over (players and managers, like you said). They in turn cherry pick the best players from the next tier of clubs (Leverkusen, Schalke, Mönchengladbach) and they then grab our best players/managers (Mainz, Freiburg, Stuttgart). I think the German teams top to bottom are being weakened by this; but they apparently don't want to change. I think these guys would flip out if private ownership became a possibility; they've still got their knickers in a twist over RB Leipzig and their "public ownership" model. [/QUOTE]
