They are not going to improve as a club and not going to be a desirable destination for great players if they do not change their approach. And I understand that in the end, a club has to think about money. But the problem with Dortmund is that they are only thinking about money. And they are not going to do very well with that mentality. It would have been good to even see if they actually invested that money into making a really good squad. But they don’t do that as well. The sad part is that they know this very well, but they do not want to do anything about it. They just want to keep doing what they are doing.
In general, I wonder how Borussia Dortmund manages to remain among the leaders of German football with such tactics of the annual sale of their leaders. On the other hand, after all this, it is not at all surprising that Bayern Munich has been consistently becoming Bundesliga champions year after year for the past eleven years. And even when Bayern Munich seems to be handing the title into the wrong hands, as this season, Borussia Dortmund is not able to take this title and take the decisive step.
Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga. Because they have a lot of money, they form the best squad in the Bundesliga every season. And as a result every season we see the dominance of Bayern Munich. Dortmund may have played well this season. Even then I would say that they don't have a stable squad to win the title. Also, this club forms teams with young players. Despite being able to perform well, the squad lacks experienced players. When a player becomes experienced, the Dortmund management makes money by selling him. If Dortmund's ownership changes or Dortmund gets a better sponsor. Then maybe they will form a strong squad. and will compete with Munich for the title.
While it is accurate to say that Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga for many seasons blaming their success purely on money ignores the complex dynamics of football. While having a stable financial situation can help when building a great team it does not ensure ongoing success. Dortmund, on the other hand has adopted a different strategy putting an emphasis on developing young players and encouraging a particular style of play. With Dortmund frequently pressuring Bayern and generating thrilling football this tactic has produced encouraging results. Dortmund places a strong emphasis on youth development which promotes long term sustainability even though they may not have the same financial clout. Dortmund may improve their team even further and possibly challenge Bayern dominance with the appropriate ownership and sponsorship demonstrating that success is not just based on financial strength but rather a combination of strategic planning talent development and team harmony.
