Abstract

Zusammenfassung Obwohl die Bundesliga in dem potentiell attraktivsten europäischen Fußballmarkt operiert, ziehen ihre Klubs in der Champions League vor allem gegen die Konkurrenten aus der Premier League systematisch den Kürzeren. Weil Überinvestition gerade nicht durch eine Auflösung der betroffenen Klubs bestraft wird, trägt der Turnierwettbewerb im europäischen Fußball den Charakter eines „Zombierennens“. Klubverfassungen beeinflussen dabei ganz entscheidend die Möglichkeiten der Turnierteilnehmer, neue Finanzierungsquellen für den Rüstungswettlauf zu erschließen. An einem prominenten Beispiel, den „Geldspritzen“ so genannter „Patenonkel“ wird der gegenwärtige Wettbewerbsnachteil der über Vereinsverfassungen kontrollierten Bundesliga-Mannschaften detailliert herausgearbeitet.
