Are the financial restrictions and membership rules the primary reason for Bayern being so powerful? While they probably play a role, there are other factors in play and focusing on the financial restrictions and membership rules would be an unfortunate mistake. If there is one things the aforementioned rules have created, it is a football league for football fans.
The German system isn't perfect but in a world becoming dominated by football for profit, football for fans is something worth not only seeking but also protecting. I'd much rather read articles entitled "How Can Arsenal Compete With Petro-Pounds?" versus "Gooners Out, Tourists In".
