Should fans really be supporting Financial Fair Play? (alien.top)

Football fans like painting new money oil clubs that are performing well as cheaters because they seem to be breaching FFP.

But on the flip side, isn't FFP designed to just keep the traditional big clubs in power given they have an advantage of higher spending power since they have more fans and make more profits to begin with?

If I were a fan of a smaller club how is that fair in a sporting sense since it will almost be impossible to catch up organically?

So do most fans like FFP? I'd like to hear from people who are not a fan of the top five to ten European super clubs (you know who they are) on this.

I think there is an element of historic clubs paying protectionism

But the flip side is reckless spending can lead to clubs becoming bankrupt, or having their assets drained. And then the knock on effects for smaller clubs of these super spenders driving even mediocre players out of everyones price range
