BMG — Financial Stability Score
Gladbach ist das Warnsignal der Liga: Ein Traditionsclub mit CL-Geschichte (2020-21), der in drei Jahren sportlich und finanziell abgestürzt ist. PK-Quote 57,4% zeigt: Die Gehälter der Spitzenzeiten wurden nicht schnell genug abgebaut. Verbindlichkeiten über 50% signalisieren strukturelle Überschuldung.
