let say if u are a fan of modest club like Koln FC, for example. some super wealthy Arab tycoon want to buy your club, and promise to invest to the club like Chelsea, Man City (and latest example, Malaga, PSG). u'll definitely welcome that kind of investment (read 'splashing so much cash')
nah, the thing is German clubs and association have very different financial philosophies. The system by which Bundesliga clubs are regulated emphasize on strict financial rules and licensing. The German board always want to maintain control of the club.

"When clubs can spend what they want, like in the Premier League, it's very difficult for German clubs to succeed," said Antonia Hagemann, project manager with the UK-based Supporters Direct organisation, which has carried out a Uefa-funded study of club ownerships and fan involvement across Europe.
Under Bundesliga rules, members must own 50% of the shares plus one extra vote of these spin-offs. This is the so-called 50+1 model, which makes it impossible for private investors to take over a club.

Germany legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has hit out at clubs whose mega rich owners are using their wealth to make their way to the top of European football, suggesting that it is not sustainable
QUOTE
The German league has been seen as one of the most financially responsible in recent seasons, and the Bavarians' chairman is happy that Uefa president Michel Platini is implementing rules to try and make the playing field more level, insisting that the game is currently unfair.
Rummenigge told DRadio: “In the words Financial Fair Play really lies the truth. It seems obvious at the moment that there is Financial Unfair Play. And it is quite clear: we have a world in which the Arabs, Russians and Italians play a dramatic role.
“Because of their wealth they can make transfers and accordingly can improve the quality of their teams, and I think that cannot be the way of the future.”

serious contender for "goal of the season". Superb ball control followed with a bicycle kick, even better than Rooney's goal against Man City I'd say..
