Got pointed to this article from a few months back re the state of the domestic game across europe. The Bundesliga is now the most profitable league in the world.

Welcoming their British rivals with witty avolt-face self-deprecation on the subject of WWII. Probably.



The EPL really is a cesspit of greed. Time they came in for a bit more of the abuse normally reserved for banking and oil to be honest.

I like the German member-based equity model. I like their culture and standing room stadiums. That 24,000 seater stand is immense. The atmosphere generated at Bundesliga games looks awe-inspiring and that’s just on TV.

What the EPL has morphed into has nothing on it.
