Steilcast - A show about the Bundesliga & all things German football

How to fix the broken Bundesliga - A discussion with Musa Okwonga & Christoph Biermann

Episode notes

The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein is joined by Christoph Biermann and Musa Okwonga as they attempt to identify the problems with the Bundesliga and the best solutions to fix it

Bayern Munich have won eight titles in a row so how do we make the league more equitable without diluting the quality at the top end?  

Should the Bundesliga be making a better effort to market itself globally? Is it time for German football fans to let go of the 50+1 rule and embrace outside investment?  

And of course no discussion about the future of football is complete without thoughts turning to the potential advent of a European Super League
