The big deal fell through: on Wednesday, the Bundesliga dropped the plan to quickly reach billions for necessary future investments through a partnership with a financial investor. At an extraordinary general meeting of the DFL league association, 20 out of 36 first and second division clubs voted to continue the project. However, because eleven clubs were against and five abstained, the two-thirds majority declared necessary was missed. “The process ended today,” said the head of the DFL supervisory board, Dortmund manager Hans-Joachim Watzke.
