The 50 Plus 1 Rule
Manage episode 364508223 series 3458359
Today’s episode covers the 50+1 Rule, which is the basis of club ownership in Germany’s Bundesliga. While most clubs around the world have a single owner in the form of eccentric billionaires, Saudi Royalty, or massive corporations, there are examples of clubs that are partially or majority owned by the public. Today we will talk about clubs that are fan-owned or influenced by prominent supporter’s trusts.
