  • I think Red Bull are worse for football than the Saudi league, which essentially seems to have failed as a project.

    I don't think Saudi Arabia and its associated human rights abuses are less bad than a drink, but I think getting on board with something which is actually ruining football is worse than going to play in a shit league for the money.

  • Genuine question, I clearly don't follow closely enough, but why are red bull so bad?

    The 50+1 ownership rule is the bedrock of German football clubs. Every club allow fans to become members, RBL subverted it by only allowing a small number of Red Bull employees to become members. Plus the whole buying another club, moving it, buying promotion etc.

  • They started off the multi club model that is absolutely killing football at the moment.

    They may not be the shittest of owners out there right now but they significantly contributed to enabling all those shit owners.

    They've showed no shame, they are actively trying to fuck football more for their commercial interests.

    Like Henderson with his LGBTQ ally stuff, when the big bucks come in the principles are set aside.
