Wouldn’t have had SISU’s nonsense with their rules.
Problem with that method is all it has done has maintained the status Quo, Bayern Munich and occasionally Dortmund are going to win that league.
RB Leipzig have been decent but that’s only because Red Bull have fudged the membership criteria
Not necessarily, like i said Red Bull have made a system where they price out normal fans, it’s all their mates in the 51%Wouldn’t have had SISU’s nonsense with their rules.
If anything it promotes keeping the same teams At the top.I don’t really get the obsession with the German model it’s no better in reality than here

no rich individual are going to spend all their money knowing they’re the minority owner
there are exceptions (hoffenheim) but rarely do you not see Bayern at the top

They all just bend the rules the same as clubs here, season ticket prices are well below ours, how can they afford to be paying £100k a week to players?If anything it promotes keeping the same teams At the top.

Derby have now rejected four bids from Millwall for Sibley, the latest being 450k. He burst onto the scene two years ago but on the bench this season despite their woes
The German model is great from a fan perspective. Having that involvement on board level means they get cheap tickets, standing areas, beer in the stands, cheap travel etc. etc. etc.
Apart from that though their game is no more healthy than ours.
Yeah but unless you’ve got an unlimited funded sponsor like Allianz you have a ceiling.The Germans have tried to keep the game at least vaguely attached to its roots instead of whoring out to the highest bidder and going ‘whoops’ when a club gets itself into trouble.
At least ticket prices there remain affordable for the average person
He can do much better than them anyway
Don’t know about that or you’d expect bigger clubs to be in for him given the fee
A sizeable proportion on here have alluded to there being agendas against us in the past.My fav part of the statement is 11. Does the EFL have a vendetta against Derby County?
The fact Derby fans seam to think they are being treated worse then anyone ever before is laughable
Thats my employer! Wouldnt say unlimited funds....extremely risk averse. Reputation and brand is everything.Yeah but unless you’ve got an unlimited funded sponsor like Allianz you have a ceiling.
Unlimited was a bit exaggerated haha! Isn’t their deal with Bayern the biggest commercial deal in the world?Thats my employer! Wouldnt say unlimited funds....extremely risk averse. Reputation and brand is everything.

Correct by the German league is more like a glamorous Scottish league. Outside of Bayern and Dortmund the next lot of teams aren’t great,The top flight itself isn’t really a closed shop of the same teams going up and down which for me adds to the interest. In the second tier you’ve got a who’s who of big clubs as well.
You don’t get anywhere in the English game without a tycoon either
I think things like this is what is screwing up the admin process. Looks like Morris has dumped the club and it’s football related debts which he helped create but hanging on to Pride Park for example which could and would be profitable.I see that Pride Park is owned by another of Morris's companies that isn't in admin. So anyone buying them would be broadly getting the same as buying us; the name, golden share and players.

No idea...i think the formula 1 was a few years back...Unlimited was a bit exaggerated haha! Isn’t their deal with Bayern the biggest commercial deal in the world?
The brand of Bayern is certainly a good partner
Saracens certainly wasnt a good reputational partner...we pulled plug on that one after many years.Unlimited was a bit exaggerated haha! Isn’t their deal with Bayern the biggest commercial deal in the world?

I'm sure i read somewhere that Mel Morris might be willing to sell Pride park back to the club for approx £20m, but that just makes a mockery of the £81.1m he bought it for...an amount clearly just enough (or so he thought) to dodge the financial mess he got them in to.I see that Pride Park is owned by another of Morris's companies that isn't in admin.

Heidi Klum - now there's a German model!The German model is great from a fan perspective. Having that involvement on board level means they get cheap tickets, standing areas, beer in the stands, cheap travel etc. etc. etc.

financially Hamburg and Werder Bremen are struggling. As someone said - isn’t as great as it’s cracked up to be
what frightens me about CCFC and any potential 50+1 rule is that it would end up with the Trust being on board.
I don't actually have a problem with that but there should be some regulations that enforce owners to be personally responsible for the full wages of any players bought in during their tenure if the club goes under during their ownership.
In this case then you can go nuts and back the club to the top if you're Coates but if you fuck things up like Morris then you have to pay the price over the fans.
Best thing that could happen is a squad cap at all age groups above a certain age. Stops clubs becoming loan farms and allows talent to come down the pyramid.
Would also result in lower transfer fees at this level as PL clubs would have to release a player before signing a new one if they couldn’t find a buyer and could possibly suppress wages.
By age group I'm talking about stuff like under12s under14s.This is preferred route compared to a cap on spending/wages. But I wouldn't add in a caveat of over a certain age. You can have a set amount of players on deals and that's it. New players cannot be added until one of the old squad has either been sold or had their contract annulled.
Gets talent filtering down through the leagues, improving the overall standard and could bring costs back to something respectable. Could help the national team as players are being forced to make their way in the lower leagues rather than sitting on a cushy deal playing in U23 until they're in their mid-20's.
Issue is what would that squad size be? Probably 50-60 to include allowing development of those just graduated from the academy.
