So we are clear, the first reason Bundesliga resumed was money. Second, money and third also money.

They were facing financial crisis chiefly cos of their 50 + 1 law and that was the basis of the decision. Just so we're on the same page.

I feel like I'm a poster boy for those investors (now to be called disaster capitalists) who've been looking to swoop in on the German league since 1998.
But the reality is that actions have consequences however enjoyable they may seem at first

For those not in the know, the 50 + 1 rule is the law that ensures clubs are not allowed to sell major stakes to foreign investors, and therefore keeps the club ownership within the club fans and members.

As a footballing theorem it makes fantastic sense and the German league has thrived in terms of it's fan culture thanks to this. Financially, however, not so much. They are feeling the brunt of this, now more than ever.

Because, the honest truth is that were German clubs able to sell majority stakes, they would have had rich backers ready to step in and close up the financial gap during this crisis

It's interesting to see how the German Fa will react given the new challenge that they now find themselves.

Its easy to make decisions when not confronted with some harsh realities such as this. But now that we find ourselves here, where do we go?
