dont know much about it but I’m struggling to understand why that is less attractive than us?
the only important thing there is the money to build a team and it sounds as if they have it?
we certainly don’t (or don’t spend as if we have it)
Their a team that until 10 years ago were playing in some local regional league. They're the equivalent of one of these Isthmian League teams or something. Then they got bought by Red Bull as a PR stunt and just bought their way to the top. They're the equivalent of Chelsea or City, except if instead of some billionaire buying a mid-table PL club, they'd bought Billaricay Town FC or something. It's hardly the stuff of dreams.
Like i say, they're going about things in an interesting way and investing a lot in young players and so on, but managing a "proper" team is massively better than managing a team like that and managing in the PL even more so. I'm not saying he's nailed on to come to us, but the mere fact that he's only been at Leipzig for a year isn't automatically enough to rule him out was my point.
