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.

What is everyone’s favourite team in the top 5 leagues? in c/main@soccer.forum

Premier League - None

La Liga - None

Ligue 1 - None

Bundesliga - Dortmund (have a soft spot for their commitment to youth development and exciting style of play)

Serie A - Inter (my team)

Between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which team had the better decade? (2009-2019) in c/main@soccer.forum

Barca slightly edged them out for that period, but Madrid are still the biggest and most successful club in the history of football.

I say slightly because in the grand view of things domestic titles are just not as important as UCL wins. Think about AC Milan and Juventus. Globally, Milan are way more famous because they did well in Europe even though Juve are way ahead of them domestically.
