Experts criticise Bundesliga for lack of financial disclosure: "Transparency helps you to better understand the decision-making and rationale behind clubs' behaviour"

Unlike in most other countries, German clubs fall through when it comes to informing the public of their financial performance.

That is despite UEFA highlighting transparency as a cornerstone of its Financial Fair Play regulations from 2015.

Experts say openness will lead to better business decisions and greater accountability to fans – particularly needed after the Super League fallout.

Professor believes the best way forward is that clubs' financial reporting should be done in a similar style to publicly listed companies.
