#USMNT FW Terence Boyd joining RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga II. A somewhat controversial club, he'll join on a 4-year-deal, cost €2million.
A lot of people think they'll be in the Bundesliga after next season.

Not a bad move. Keep improving at a level where he knows he will get consistent playing time, and then move up a league.

A lot of Germans hate RB Leipzig because they're kind of skirting the 50+1 rule that the German FA put in place. I think the Red Bull stuff is lame. It's also curious as to what will happen if Leipzig and Salzburg ever meet up in a Champions League or something.

How are they controversial? Does anyone know?
ETA: Nevermind. I see Henderson posted why above.

What's the 50+1 rule?

Also, how are they skirting it?

The so-called "50+1" rule in the statutes of the German league association (DFL) guarantees that no investor can gain majority voting rights in a club registered as a stock company, thus giving members a crucial veto over issues such a ticket prices.
quote:
RB Leipzig doesn't break the letter of the 50+1 rule – it does have a membership scheme, and it's not registered as a stock company anyway. But it does break the spirit: becoming an RB Leipzig member will set you back €800 a year, on top of a €100 first-time registration fee (for comparison, being a member of Bayern Munich costs €60 per season). On top of that, RB Leipzig reserve the right to reject any application without justification.
As a result, more than four years into the club history, RB Leipzig have only 11 members – most of them employees of Red Bull (Bayern, for comparison, has 224,000). As the journalist Christoph Biermann wrote in a recent edition of 11 Freunde magazine: "It's hard to imagine a more blatant way in which RB Leipzig could break the 50+1 rule."
They also have the same sporting director, Ralf Rangnick, as RB Salzburg which just seems wrong to me and a lot of other people.

According to this article, he hasn't signed with a team yet.
quote:
"He has not signed any deal yet," Boyd rep Konstantin Liolios told MLSsoccer.com on Friday. "[Rapid] are thinking about going into negotiations with one of the teams, but Terrence has also still not made a decision about where he would like to go."
