They seem to be progressive with regard to football but it's difficult to get away from the idea it's all a big show for the brand. The RB bit is sneaky and they've been slippery with the ownership rules. What they did at Salzburg was shabby too.

I found myself wondering how I would feel if they came in for us. I guess most of us have had enough of rebrand stuff over the last few years and it would probably not go down well. However, despite the negativity from a lot of fans from other Bundesliga there are some interesting positive points. ie No player in the team that beat Spurs in the CL cost over £20m and they brought a successful side to an area of Germany that was a bit of a footballing desert.
I'm not sure how I would feel given our recent history but as I have said, an interesting article.

The problem with this business model is it relies on selling the best players, and they will start this evening's match without their star attraction, who has just moved to Chelsea. Nagelsmann is a top manager though, and he will move on to bigger things.
I think that would be it for me. I'd have to walk away.
I think it depends on where you are on how much resistance you will get. If it was 20 years ago I'm. Sure more people would welcome it, rather than now when we have had a bit of success.
???? So Atletico is not an elite team. We are talking about a team in the semi-final of the CL. Not sure where you are coming from here.
Athletico Madrid are very effective over two-leg knockout games, but they rarely win league titles and European trophies. I would say Leipzig and Athletico are quite evenly matched, but for whatever reason they are not quite at the next level. They both have top managers though who give their teams an organisational edge, but for pure talent you need to look elsewhere.
