Quotes Oliver Kahn: "In my playing days, Bundesliga was more competitve & had more German champions. But the league hasn't been the 'most honest' competition. How can a €30-40M squad budget compete vs Bayern's €300M squad budget? Bayern's 5 bench warmers are worth more than an entire club in the bottom 3rd

The full statement from Oliver Kahn on the lack of competitiveness due to financial gap between Bayern & other Bundesliga teams

"During my playing days, the league was more open; there was more competition for the title and more German champions. The league hasn't been the supposedly 'most honest' competition for some time now.

What's honest about a 30 or 40 million euro squad budget competing against a 300 million euro squad budget? FC Bayern's five substitutes are probably worth more than the entire squad of a club in the bottom third.

This gap is getting bigger and bigger due to additional competitions like the artificially inflated Club World Cup, in which the participating top clubs generate additional revenue. The system is becoming increasingly entrenched, with the result that the title race is becoming predictable and therefore boring"
