English football has sold its soul and Germany should be wary of following suit. The DFL has called for a "fundamental debate" on 50+1, and it’s a debate in which Germany's hardcore, well-organized football supporters need to ensure that they make their voices heard – loud and clear.

50+1 is at the heart of all that is admirable about German football and safeguards precisely that which English football has lost in its relentless pursuit of money. And if you don't believe me, go and find a English fan outside a Bundesliga stadium on any given match day and ask them why they're there.
