Nobody hates Leipzig, they hate RB!

But Schalke didn't lose Özil to a bigger club. They just thought he wouldn't be good enough, so he went to Bremen - not really a bigger club.

50+1 would be better if all leagues implemented this.

That 50+1 rule is looking especially attractive today...

"Premier league is pretty competitive" *Proceeds to show slide of 6 winners in over 25 years*

"Got big money to hide? Buy a football club." "Not in Germany, mate."

As an English Bundesliga fan the 50+1 rule was what got me interested in the Bundesliga

Those Spanish, British and Italian clubs are so deep in debt they should be bankrupt. All leagues should have a 50+1 rule!

There is a reason why schalke cant hold his player We say in germany "auf der ruhr ist nie ruhe" ;) (there is never peace in the ruhr)

you said a differnt team has won the premier league then showed 10000 Man United logos

In Romania private investors have ruined the biggest clubs, including the '86 Champions League winners Steaua Bucharest, that is now playing in the 4th division. Football is a passion, not a business! Against modern football and congrats to Bundesliga for having such a great rule implemented.

50 + 1 rule should exist in every single league.

Your man is like a discount tom hiddleston

Everyone seems to point out the last 6 seasons, but don't we all know the 50+1 rule was also around when Bayern wasn't winning every title?? Other leagues may have given in to greed and money, but that's no reason for the Bundesliga to follow. Bayern isn't dominating the league solely because of the 50+1 rule. Lets look at seasons 98 - 2009: 6 different Bundesliga champions during this time VS 3 different champions in the EPL. (Dortmund also won again 2 more times after this) Bayern have become a much better side with a way deeper squad than almost every other team in Europe, so they can compete in 3 different competitions without losing consistency - this is why they've consistently won the Bundesliga for 6 seasons straight and attract the best players as a result. - & a lot of this is down to the increased investment in youth systems in Germany starting in the early 2000's. Bayern's youth system produces players better than most. If the 50+1 rule is abolished, Bundesliga will turn into most other leagues: Only teams with rich foreign owners can win, nobody cares about local players and their development (or the club or fans), the national team suffers as a result, and even the club teams aren't as consistent since they keep buying and selling several players every season. - Sure this season wasn't the greatest for Bundesliga in CL, but look at every other season for the past 6 -7 years: The Bundesliga has done very well in Europe (During this same time that Bayern has been dominating this "noncompetitive" league).

If we should hate leipzig then we might as well hate City Psg Chelsea to some degree

One little mistake: Red Bull didn't buy the club, they just bought the right to start in the 5th tier. Before that they tried to get into some other clubs (St. Pauli, 1860 Munich and Fortuna Düsseldorf) but that failed due to fan and club protest

Comparing 25 years to 5 years. That's the infamous quote of cherry picking something something statistics.

50+1 Rule sounds like it was made by Seto Kaiba

I’ve only recently gotten into football and it’s things like this that I find fascinating. I also like the promotion and relegation system which would never fly in sports leagues here in the US. I appreciate how the fans are a part of the organization and not just end users for billionaires to suck dry. Plus you’ve got clubs like Union Berlin fans literally bleeding for their team.

In 2018:- People are skeptic about 50+1 rule In 2021:- This is the rule that can save football from greedy owners

The XI of Schalke players is a bit unclear. Huntelaar left, because he was too old, Höwedes was forced out by then coach Tedesco and Özil went to Werder Bremen, because he saw a brighter perspective as a young player...

Mesut Özil was a youth player at Schalke who hasn´t made many minutes for the first team. So Werder bought him were he had the oppertunity to make the breakthrought. Werder will never have enough money to outbid a Bundesliga club, unless it is a second division club.

Leipzig haven't exactly gone out and spent hundreds of millions like a PSG or a Man City. In fact if you factor in the sales of guys like Naby Keita, Oliver Burke, Bruma etc then they haven't really spent all that much. they've been quite suave in the transfer market identifying young players for the future at low prices. They also use their feeder clubs well. Tyler Adams has come in from New York Red Bulls and they've brought in some really good players from Salzburg. Even Bernardo began his career at Red Bull Brazil, then moved on to Salzburg then Leipzeg. They're by far the most equipped team to topple Bayern and they will probably do it spending a fraction of what Bayern do.

Now rewatching this video after all the recent protests at Hannover, Bayern, Union Berlin, Dortmund & Monchengladbach. I suspect YT trying to inform us of the 50+1 rule, which needs to stay.

And that's why German clubs are not in this new and ridiculous European super league (yet).

Who is here after RB Leipzig reached semi finals in Champiom League

More teams should implement this rule. Football is not only money and success, football is tradition and joy. I’m sad a lot of people ruin it because of money.

Should be 50% +1...... also check out the Brazilian league where pretty much all teams are owned by the fans.

I guess we have our answer

when he said shalke amongst the best clubs in the beginning I almost died 🤣

Scrapping the 50+1 rule is not the way to stop clubs from losing their best players to better paying ones. Fairer system of sharing the TV money and capping the professional footballers earnings worldwide is.

The rule should stay... maybe tweaked a little... but I don't want our football culture ruined by foreign investors... Plus at least Leipzig doesnt just throw their money around and buys star after star... they have a great youth development system and a good eye for talent.

Here in Brazil, Red Bull has recently bought a club called Bragantino, from the city of Bragança Paulista. Bragantino is a very traditional club in Brazilian football and even though they've never been a top club here, they still had their fans in Bragança Paulista and some neighbor cities. They got promoted to Brasileirão Série A (the first division of Brazil) last season, but Red Bull changed their club badge, the kits and the name from Clube Atlético Bragantino to Red Bull Bragantino. Their fans are really divided about this, some of them are really angry saying they killed the traditions of the club, but some are happy because Red Bull possibilitated them to get promoted to the first division after 22 years. Now in the season 2020 we're gonna see what's gonna happen

Many fans, especially from outside Germany, seem to think that the Bundesliga only has 1 big club (FC Bayern) when actually there are many other big clubs like Schalke, Dortmund, Bremen, Stuttgart and HSV who could also be challenging Bayern Munich if it wasn't for restrictions. The fans should always have a sizeable share of control of their club but they should also accept that their clubs needs more money from external sources which can help them compete domestically and in Europe

2:06 Spurs fans rn

I like the rule, its basically saying we put the club and its fans first. That’s special and it keeps it pure, it also gives the clubs a chance to develop youngsters. There are many things to admire about the rule

Take notes premier league

Never heard of this rule till this video, I like it. Bring it to the BPL 👊👍

Read the book "Soccernomics" if you want to know more. The billionaires buying clubs will most likely, never turn a profit. The clubs are like supercars to be shown off as a status symbol. However, ticket prices would go sky high if not for the 50+1 rule.

Great explanation allround, but I've left without an understanding how the rule makes the league less competitive internally and externally. Obviously externally it's limited due to not using money to capture the top talent, but why has it's implementation left bayern munich at the top for 5 straight years?

German people. Most clever, fair and organized people in Europe. Love Germany.

Who is here after the fall of scumleague?

This channel is brilliant.

Woah chill dude that beginning.... if the kit is nice it should not matter which nation

1:21 Add Manchester United Private Limited to the list

Ok but the Bundesliga is actually growing. The table rn is fire.

I get why people defend the 50+1 rule and I think it is a crude version of how clubs should be run. Football clubs aren't just businesses and their fans aren't just consumers. Having said that Bayern are sitting pretty for their 10th straight title and I think they are the real benefactors of the 50+1. The way they predate on every other team in the league is very reminiscent of Man Utd in the 90s. Any young player at Dortmund or Gladbach knows if they run down their contact Bayern will come knocking. This is extremely damaging to the competition in the league, not only are Bayern fortifying their position at the top, they are undermining their rivals by taking their best players and in many cases there's no transfer fee involved or if there is it's a derisory figure because it's clear the player will just leave on a free if not sold. It's extremely predatory and ultimately it's going to kill the league. I think it's lazy to say you can't hold owners to account without a 50+1 rule.

Why am I becoming addicted to video about football leagues. I don't even have a favorite team in eaurope.

What was not touched upon is the good that Red Bull’s investment has done for the chronically under developed East German sides. Finally they have given the area a squad that they can be proud of!

Jeremy Corbyn said this rule should be brought into England and everyone attacked him

I watched this video nearly a year ago and coming back to watch it I still didn't understand the rule

The rule doesn't exist in the Portuguese league, but it is in the statutes of most Portuguese clubs. However, in Portugal most clubs have an associated Anonymous Sports Society (SAD) which manages assets and has nearly full control over the first team in a club, and that can be taken over by buying shares. What ends up happening is that investors can take control of the first team, ripping the club apart. This has happened with "smaller clubs" (one of which is actually an historic club in Portuguese football) like Belenenses, Cova da Piedade and others that actually went bankrupt over SAD's decisions that ultimately were way over the club's capacity to handle. For a number of years investment societies (such as Abramovich's or Jorge Mendes's) have tried to boost smaller clubs in the Portuguese league in order to get profit, but all that ends up happening is that those clubs are ripped apart and end up fighting for survival. My hometown club (Beira-Mar) has gone all the way down to the lowest tier in regional football due to a succession of poor investment decisions made by people who did not care about the club at all, but managed to acquire majority in the SAD, and basically moved on whenever things weren't going the way they had expected. Right now, there's a team that is performing quite well, having just gone up from the 2nd tier to the 1st tier, Famalicão, and they've had a massive boost, with Atlético Madrid's boss Behind them. Whenever it all ends, the club might just see its end, as it is nearly impossible for these clubs to bounce back from these periods.

Mmmmm... You know where I’m going..... Millwall vs RB Leipzig!

if the fact have said the tradition hold the investor money, hold your league growth (better player make league more competitve and make a local talent get more challenge), and even hold the other team to compete with bayern what the point of keeping it ? why jealous and hate to leipzig ? hate that system

1:48 well that ended quickly

It has pros and cons. But football is not a recreation sport anymore. It's a profitable business venture that's why German football has to stop resisting change. And, start building their league to compete with likes of England , Italy and Spain.

Me: *sees thumbnail* “51. Duh.”

Love this rule!, we could do with it at Newcastle 🤦🏻‍♂️

If the 50 + 1 rule was in force in the EFL city would be in league 2 and nobody would be able to come close to Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool

Greeting from Wales

Well, in my opinion the reason why bayern can secure title after title is because TV money is distributed unequally, unlike in the Premier league, they have millions in advantage which is stacking up to an even bigger advantage over such a long time.

1:51 the good ol’ days of Manchester United😔

And how does Wolfsburg operate with Volkswagen?

wow I feel so young I cant believe Blackburn was competing for titles at some point

3:29 oh my god...this sounds horrible :D

how do you hate rb leipzig for spending good money on efficient recruitment but not bayern for basically buying the league's best players?

Honestly, the Bundesliga should get rid of the 50+1 rule and go back to what we previously had. It’s only exists for 21 years but Bayern still won more league titles than they did before the 50+1 rule existed.

50+1 rule is the secret for a better world w/ opps to everyone. I am watching everything I can and working on my PhD thesis about it. I have never seen a better comment session in Football than when talking about the 50+1. Trust me, I love football hahaha

3 lions 1 world cup german eagle 4 world cups see the difference

yowwwwww is it just me or does the dude got a hickey on his neck on the 50th second

How was chelsea or man city doing before the money came in!? Why Leipzig is different!? It's not only the money,the had a plan to make a great team.

2:21 I stand corrected, I didnt realize they were mostly homegrown.

Pretty piss poor reasoning in this video to scrap the 50+1 rule imo.

This is one of those times when the KZfaq algorithm actually teaches you something very useful.

I had forgotten how ridiculously dominant Man Utd were under Ferguson until I saw that graphic. 13 league titles in a 20 year period... of those 7 they didn't win 2012 was lost on goal difference and 2010, 1998 & 1995 were all lost by 1 point... Talk about utter domination. Now look at them, 0 in 7, nowhere near the top and they don't look close.

In the 25 seasons he’s shown there 6 different teams have won the Premier League. If you compare that to the Bundesliga 6 different teams have won that as well.

The 50+1 Rule doesn’t apply to Hoffenheim, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg

They didnt buy the SSV Makranstädt. The got their licencs and The SSV Makranstädt got into the 7. Leaque

coming here after esl proposal.

Love the intro

It seems a big money club’s success is guaranteed, not really, when they started losing greedy owners and plastic fans who are like gold diggers will leave the club and abandon the home ground like an empty industrial city.

As a German-Englishman, it is NOT a crime to wear Deutscher Fußball Bund Trikots........and, not everyone hates Leipzig. As you mentioned, where they were to where they now are is simply stunning. They certainly DID kick the Lederhosen off my Bayern München.

1:00 There was a joke that another reason for Cardiff changing from blue to red was because 'Bluebirds' sounds like slang for 'penis' in Hokkien, a language spoken in the owner's native Malaysia

Me who got a redbull add on the video without it even started

3:54 I'm done (native German here) no offense but its just so funny

2020 : UCL semifinals

Weird side angles

Oh yes, we enjoyed this video Good job guys

Lol to kick a trusted chairmen out

I’m only watching this so it can get out of my recommended

Other major leagues* the Swedish Allsvenskan is the same at the very least, 51% tho

It is PL's lucrative TV rights and fair sharing of money among the 20 clubs that makes the PL more competitive than Bundesliga. Not ownership structure. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also fan owned and have no problems buying anyone they want to.

Yeah, I don't like 'em either.

Such an underrated account ngl 😍

More competition? Last I checked the other major leagues have 2-3 clubs at the most that ever have a chance outside the EPL

50+1 rule: Exists City, PSG, Chelsea:😐

Respect for Bundesliga for implementing this

Average match attendance graphic from 2011/2012 season for a video making a point in 2018? Are those numbers still relativity correct?

3:29 you said it completely wrong 😂

After this explanation I Am a Red Bull Leipzig supporter now. Thanks.
