Most Dortmund fans understand that if they have a top player he’s probably gonna leave for Bayern, or one of the big Euro super powers eventually. They know that Haaland is only gonna be there a few years.I know it's a little different in Germany as I believe that with a few exceptions that clubs are 51% owned by their fans but do the fans of Borussia Dortmund constantly criticise the transfer policy of Dortmund for not spending enough money in the transfer market .
In the last 10 years according to transfermarket.com , Dortmund have not spent more than £27.45 million on any player, the most was for Hummels when he came back from Munich, yet they have uncovered some absolute gems at bargain prices.
Wonder what the reaction would be here if Levy had purchased Ousmane Dembélé for £13.5 mil. and then the next season as Dortmund did sold him for £112.5 mil. , would Levy be praised or slaughtered for no ambition.
But they also know that the club has a a plan, which is bringing in the best young players in Europe, and if the stars align they’ll keep enough of them together to win something.
I’d have no problem with us acting similarly, it’s better than not being a selling or buying club that we turned into in before last summer.
