I'm wondering how Dortmund is going to perform in the Bundesliga and this time just like the last two seasons we saw from Dortmund I'm waiting to see another young talent growing up in this team like they had Haalnd and Jude Bellingham before and they sold both.
Maybe this time Dortmund will sell another young talent to mean more just like what they did in the past.
What they have done in the last season is about what they did in the seasons before as well. i mean the overall result. But when their goal is to finally overturn Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga, the result has to be much better this time and I say much better because I don't believe that Bayern will underdeliver again like they did last season. Often times when Bayern got into danger or their titles got into danger, the response was that they became much better afterwards. And it would be nothing but a surprise if they have the same chaos again. Therefore, if Dortmund wants the top of the table, there can't be any excuses in any of the games that are a must win game on paper. They have to meet the expectations then.
That's their business and how they earn money for their team. Maybe their first goal is to earn money and just be on top of the table to get the champions league ticket.
Been more than ten years since we didn't see Dortmund win the Bundesliga title and from what we can see they are not even trying hard for it.
It is not so much about their business and their choice, but about they money they have available. Borussia Dortmund is a publicly listed company and they owe justification to their shareholders. It is not always an advantage for a club to be publicly listed as we can see here because their goal was to raise money and invest it into the team back when they went public. Now it is hard to go full rogue and make a decision and say something like "we don't sell player X for 120m" because if it goes wrong their share price will suffer and shareholders want an explanation. They have now to find a good spot for their decision making processes and for now they can't compete with Bayern and, consequently, not with rich clubs from abroad.
