debundesliga1-6, Exercise 2: Problems after reunification

Model answer:

1. Players left for better pay in the West, so clubs lost their best squads.
2. Finances: eastern clubs had less money, smaller local economies and less sponsorship.
3. Ownership and facilities: changes in how clubs were owned and funded, and ageing stadiums, created difficulties.

Other acceptable problems: relegation and years in lower divisions, a fall in crowds, and a weaker place in the league's television and sponsorship income. Details should be checked.
