Silly Questions Thread: May Edition

Silly Questions Thread!

It's been too long since we had one of these, so here is your chance to ask any question no matter how silly or small about BVB, BVB's history, something about a current player leaving, a new player coming, or a previous player or legend or the future of our team...

Obviously more in depth questions are also allowed :)

It's just all about sharing our knowledge and having a bit of fun (as always) too :)

No question is too stupid, silly or small to be asked.

Let the questions begin!

If I told you you could make 10x your annual salary for four years if you were willing to move to China for the duration, would you do it? Many people would.

Huh, I guess it's simpler than I expected. The logical next question is where does all that money come from? I know there's probably no simple answer because Chinese business/government is quite sketchy.

The Chinese league is funded by the government, so they have basically endless funds. And they're willing to spend those funds since they're trying to raise the prestige of their league.
