What I just have to say about this is that, maybe that's what the club management but it sounds and looks very absurd, selling of their players is the business now as we can see, how will a club be comfortable with only qualifying for champions League alone by just maintaining the top in their league without sliding of the position every season just because they want be in the champions League, they might have a financial advisor that brought this idea of being comfortable with selling their stars every season lol, will this pattern help, a club that has not won trophy for those number of years and still doing nothing to win, if thats there choice then we have no say.
Dortmund is a renowned team in the Bundesliga. This team is even capable of playing well in the Champions league platform . Dortmund qualified for the quarter- finals of the Champions league last season. Dortmund has proven that they have the ability to challenge big teams. Dortmund has a great bonding among the players and a great match strategy. But even then the team is far behind in the competition for the title. If Dortmund refrains from selling their players in the 2nd /3rd season and spends some money to strengthen the team a little more, then I believe they will be able to challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. But Dortmund management has no interest in it.
