The men who made the Bundesliga boring!



It’s boring as hell: Always Bayern Munich! Always the same Bundesliga champion. No other club has even the slightest chance. The mighty FC Bayern won the German league ten years in a row. But who is to blame? Bayern themselves? Their great squad? Clever management? Nope, we tell you why it’s all the fault of a few men in black and yellow. Right?

    The Bundesliga is definitely more capable of surprising than people think. People used to say Lewandowski and Haaland were in Farmer's league, now they're tearing it up in La Liga and Premier League.

    Yeah no… the moment the 50+1 rule was implied to be something negative that should be gotten rid of, I stopped taking the narration seriously. It's honestly the best thing we have about the Bundesliga, and if anything, is a model that other leagues should have followed – but unfortunately, it's too late for that at this point, the damage is done in the other leagues. Watching football is actually affordable here, and the atmosphere it creates in the stadiums is unmatched. And the thing is… yes, ideally you want your club to become champion. Every club at least dreams about that to some degree. But if you stop at that, isn't the love for the sport rather shallow?

    Football offers so much more than that. The DFB cup dramas where even one mistep will spell your doom, even for big scary Bayern. Battles against relegation, wondering whether your club will manage to hold on and hopefully improve the next season. The battle for the international spots. The derbies (admittedly, for that it's unfortunate that Hamburg and 1860 are no longer in the Bundesliga, but at least we have Schalke back this year). The championship is something to aim for, and I absolutely want Bayern to be dethroned. But the league is far from boring. Even know, we have underdogs exceeding everyone's expectations like Union Berlin in the last few years, former powerhouses suddenly stumbling like Bremen and Schalke, and honestly, that makes the Bundesliga much more fun than a league like, say, the one Spain has.

    As a long time BVB fan , this report is very sad for me, and I think bayern played a dirty game to destroy that dortmund dream team and unfortunately they succeed. I hope dortmund can do it again very soon 🙏

    Klopp was last non bayern manager to win Bundesliga.
    Since then he quit Dortmund, joined Liverpool.. Won EPL, Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup, Uefa super Cup, Club World Cup, community Shield..
    But no manager in Germany was able to beat Bayern in the league

    I hate Bayern and also admire them because, like it or not, they have built an amazing club. I think they are less to blame for their dominance of the Bundesliga than the big money clubs who don't really want to compete with them. Hoffenheim is backed by SAP, Leverkusen by Bayer, Wolfsburg by VW, etc. so there would be plenty of money for some clubs to really compete. The problem is that they don't want to.

  6. Gandalf the Grey

    I don't see the politicians who gifted Bayern München a Stadium double the size of every concurrent in a time where gate receipts were your most important income (plus it stayed that way for at least 3 decades)

    so nah, they ain't guilt, they at best have failed at changing it

    Is not all Bayern fault. Blame the clubs to have the policy of selling players and dont want to win the league with exeption of Union Berlin or Frankfurth or some other teams. But you see you forgot to mention Bayern Leverkusen or Redbull team called RB. Who owns those clubs, you? Dont be so bias.
    Union 22/23 champios!!

    Football isn't boring because few teams, or one team wins the title. The entertainment is in moments and periods of the games every weekend, every month. Every fan supporting his or her team through thick and thin. Leverkusen fans experiencing weekly or monthly moments of joy, sadness, suprise, goals, wins, losses. Koln too. Schalke too. Every team has different expectations and ideas. Academy players who grew up with you or your son, the cinderella story, so much to be entertained by. If it was that boring then only Bayern fans would go to the stadium. If one's only pointer for enjoyment is waiting to see if a different team wins the league, then you've wasted 9 months of your time watching football.

  9. A B

    We fans here in Germany are proud to have the 50+1 rule and are happy not to sell our souls to investors and oil states. Might be hard to understand for forgeiners but: tradition > money. And yet still our teams compete international and win titles.

    The solution to the problem would be less greedy and more loyal players. Bayern can‘t force anybody to sign with them. But many do, and hence Bayern can buy most of the players they want. BVB on the other hand is very good in finding and raising talents. If these guys would stay, Bayern would have it much harder to dominate. And honestly, what higher dream could you have than playing for the Gelbe Wand?! The stadium in Dortmund has by far the highest average seasonal attendance in the world, with nearly every match sold out. It‘s the greed that kills the Bundesliga and football in general. The 2. Bundesliga was spectacular last season.
