But there is no legitimate reason for preventing an owner from using cash to improve their squad, other than to protect the top clubs and give more frugal owners an excuse to justify their lack of investment. That's the issue and it's mind boggling why any intellectually honest person would support this aspect of the rule.
Then why was FFP voted yes by every club other than City and PSG

QPR didn't, I'm sure there are others. And besides, I already told you why: protectionism or to give a frugal owner an excuse for supporters as to why they can't move forward.
The fact that you can't address the issue without deflecting shows how weak your position is.
Where would Chelsea be if FFP had been in place 15 years ago? They'd still be a mid table side with little hope of ever breaking into the upper echelon, and the BPL would be a less interesting place for that. Sure, that would be good for Manchester United, more trophies for you, but it would be bad for the league. There has to be some modicum of uncertainty and hope for a club that they too can one day be a top side. You've taken that away from most supporters.
You can protect clubs from excessive debt and still allow for owners to spend their own money to improve their positions but that's not what FFP was ever about.
