It should be realized that the finances at Dortmund can be stable because of the sale of some great players, so it is indeed quite difficult for them to contribute and compete competitively there because they always sell and sell their players.
But on the other hand this is a pretty good move for their finances due to the fact they don't have to be champions to stabilize their finances and it seems even the higher-ups don't really mind that.
I think there is a good balance in Dortmund's department that they always see to it even though they don't become champions they can have decent funds when a season ends, and I think it is working well, their strategy is to buy low and sell high just like what we are doing with Cryptocurrency, there a sense of balance when the right time comes,
What is certain there is that they are good at finding young seeds there and making their young players potential which is always brought in by other clubs at a higher price.
There are so many names that they are selling for quite a high price like Haaland, Sancho, Pulisic and even Dembele being some of the players they have managed well, so even if they don't win the title they have a huge profit from the sales of their players.
