If I were a fan of Aberdeen I would expect them not to try and operate like Chelsea, because that is a ridiculous comparison. Aren't even in the same league with the same revenue opportunities as the EPL's tv and prize money is massive. EPL teams especially have little excuse for constantly failing. Look at Newcastle and West Ham for example, both of them are top 20 clubs in the world in revenue and more valuable with a higher spending power than many continental clubs that make the CL every year. FFP doesn't keep them from competing for continental football every year, the fact that they are terrible run does.
It's harder in France for example because the league is structured to benefit the top team, it's not that FFP. The EPL for comparison distributes a lot more money to every club through tv and prize money than Ligue 1 does, so if you're Lyon your only options for revenue are through gate receipts, sponsorships, player development and sales, and performance on the field that gets you into continental football. Serie A is even worse, the league distributes f*** all to their clubs. Germany is like the EPL in that league performance gets you quite a bit of revenue, but their tv deal isn't as lucrative, still there is less excuse for a German club to not be able to be competitive if they are well run (Dortmund for example is regularly competitive).
You blame all the woes of clubs on FFP, when that is clearly not the case and never has been. FFP has faults, but as I said it's a fantasy to suggest that things were even before that because they weren't.
Actually if you could READ what I wrote, I also blamed (immensely) the CL format. But that doesn't fit your agenda so you ignore it.

The arrogance of your thoughts about the Chelsea/Aberdeen comparison is quite telling.
You already said in a previous thread that you didn't see as unfair the fact EPL teams got huge money on their TV deal. THAT also tells a lot.
As for your L1 analysis it's furiously uninformed.
L1 is one of the leagues where the profit is more distributed (and the big clubs arent happy with it). Problem is our TV deal is nothing compared to the EPL's. French money also shares a lot with amateur football.
In France, half of the TV deal goes equally to every L1 team.
1/4 is based on final ranking. 1/4 is based on 1st choice of the weekend match (usually OM because CL teams don't play most sundays).
Here is the 2019 repartition :

As often, you tried to use an argument you have zero knowledge of. Saying it benefits one team is just plain ridicuous.
And finally, you can say anything you want, the trend has been extremely clear in the last 7-8 years. Nearly no league is competitive. Even in the lower ranked teams, where the team qualifying for the CL is way too rich compared to the rest of the field.
