While I understand they did creatively skirt some of Bundesliga ownership rules you miss some VERY important points. First of all, Red Bull is one of the only businesses to actually invest in Football in the former EAST Germany. They have actually brought a competitive team that sees actually investment to East Germany. An area long neglected by the Bundesliga. And yes there are supporters that were upset with them buying the team, but there are large numbers of supporters of the team that are happy them bought them and are investing in it. Also you seem to gloss over the fact that it’s almost always the same teams in the top three and worse it’s almost always Bayern winning it all. Bayer runs rough shod over the league, buying some of the leagues best talent, even from their RIVALS ! I can’t phantom a team in the Bundesliga willing to shell out some of their best players to a rival who wins the league every year just because that team wins so often they the cash to throw around. The league had become boring from a table standpoint. Yes Red Bull did skirt the 50+1 rule. They even managed their way around the team name too. But they have brought new life to the league. Competition to the table. Investment in youth and investment in East Germany. It’s not all bad. Geh Rasenball !
