I thought RB Leipzig was the only plastic club

No Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Leverkusen are the 4 plastic clubs.

I am not German so maybe I am missing something but I can’t really see the equivalence between Wolfsburg and Leverkusen against Hoffenheim and Leipzig. The former were initiated as clubs for the workers of the companies about 100 years ago, the latter two were bought by SAP and RB, respectively. I don’t think it makes sense to see Wolfsburg and Leverkusen in the same light given that their history is deeply intertwined with the corporations that own them, the people of those corporations and the cities they are in.

It’s absolutely normal to me that Wolfsburg and Bayer are owned by their respective Groups, even with the German rule of ownership.

Edit: obviously this ultra message from OP is horrendous and i’m not defending it all btw

I see what you're saying, but intuitively it strikes me as a form of recency bias. One has a hundred-odd years of history, the other doesn't.
