Wolfsburg are owned by Volkswagen and Juventus by the Agnelli Family who founded Fiat. I think teams like Wolfsburg and Bayer still have 51% supporter ownership. I could be wrong shout that though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong shout that though. I believe 75% of Bayern is owned by a spin off company, with the rest owned by Adidas, Audi and Allianz. Whatever is the case someone in Germany needs to win the Bundesliga instead of Bayern as it is very dull seeing the same teams winning the same league titles in most leagues in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2020 Apparently he's always had a bit of a soft spot for Blues. He would prefer to play for them if he came to England. Time to move on I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their club record signing cost €30m (Naby Keita) and he's their only signing over €20m. They have really good scouting and manage to snap up players before they make their big move, getting them for €10m-€15m and often much less than that. Only season where they spent a lot of money without also selling for a lot was in 16/17 when they were newly promoted to the Bundesliga. Boo! newly promoted club spending lots of money, boo! Yeah they are spending Red Bull money and I get why German fans don't like it due to the 51% rule they are cheating against. But it's not as if English clubs are spending their own money, it's loans from owners, banks and a comically inflated TV deal. £30m would be a club record for RB Leipzig, just as it would for us. Plastic club or not it's not as if they are spending money willy nilly. For your TV deal comment ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Direct streaming for premier league games with full match replays available world wide. Charge per game or whatever. This is hardly a moonshot. Just a modern entertainment service. Hell go buy the tech off NBC who already did this for the USA last year and what a fantastic service it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yeah, that’s probably why clubs keep getting bought, once direct streaming comes in the club revenues go through the roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are to believe the rumours... - Werder would like to sell him to us as we have offered a fee they are happy with - Rashica wants to play in the Champions League - Leipzig are interested but have yet to have a bid accepted - Rashica is taking his time. If Leipzig refuse to increase their offer then we have a good chance of signing him. - Rashica isn't playing in Werder's friendly games as they anticipate a sale soon. Pretty much sums it up I think based on the rumours. How true it is is anyone's guess. Edited August 19, 2020 by PieFacE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Surely with Leipzig out of CL now they'll make a decision on how seriously they want him? He's not playing in Bremen's warm up games so can't believe this is going to run for weeks. The danger then is he'll be miles off fitness and everyone will be disappointed if he signs and is miles off the pace in his first few games. Anyway still think we've got a decent chance of getting him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of the McGinn thread he won’t be the only one rocking a body like a dropped lasagne. All the same I’d still like Rashica in, two weeks of hard beasting & he’d be good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
