The summer transfer window is now officially open. It is one of the most exciting times of the year, with the business done over the next two months providing the backbone for a season ending in success or despair. For today’s newsletter, we take every single Bundesliga club under the lens, identifying the one problem…

VfL Wolfsburg are far from the neutral’s choice in the Bundesliga. The North German outfit are constantly criticized for their mediocre fanbase, mocked for their plastic atmosphere and half-empty stadium, and scorned for their controversial circumvention of the 50+1 rule with long-time sponsor Volkswagen.   While a stunning league title, a maiden pokal triumph, and…

The 2022/23 Bundesliga season is finally back upon us, a full 68 days since the last kick of the ball.
