RB Leipzig's success has sparked increasing debate over the future of 50+1. Hoffenheim executive Peter Gorlich has told ESPN FC he believes several Bundesliga clubs are waiting for the end of the 50+1 rule. The rule, which stipulates that more than 50 percent of a club must be owned by its members, has come under increasing scrutiny in recent months. Officials from several clubs have already said they feel the fight to keep it is being lost. Support has declined, with only a handful of clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, offering firm backing.
