Well funded and moving up consistently. That said, I'm not that confident they'll finish placing for Europe. But they are definitely not going anywhere.

Going to build a 70k stadium...

Culturally, in Germany, their very essence is generally disliked. They are not a 'grown' club, but a funded one. Going to take many years to overcome that, I think.

They can certainly buy their way to a yearly European qualifying finish but they will not be the media darlings of Germany.
