Fine in principle but easily got round like RBL did by only allowing 17% of members, all pro RB, to vote

Posted about the 50+1 rule earlier in the week. Here's a brief video (8 mins) looking at this and fan activism in Germany:

Anyone who thinks some foreign gazilionaire owning their club rather than fans is a glory hunting dullard

Not really specific to the 50+1 rule, however, I’ve watched way more German games this year than before and what an amazing matchday they have.
every game has been exciting, the atmosphere in the stadiums is superb.
It reallyhas made the EPL look like a pile of dross.
Like many German Bears on the forum have been saying for years and years and years, the Germans do many things right and want everyone to enjoy their football.
Also makes Spain look like a pile of dross as well to be honest.
