The possibility of FTL is not a matter of "belief" (pro or con), it's a matter of science. At the moment it looks impossible but we are constantly expanding our knowledge of physics and the realms of the very large and the very small. As long as we limit ourselves to our current best theories of physics such as Special and General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and the Standard Model of subatomic particles FTL is ruled out, but these theories will certainly not be the last word anymore than Newtonian physics and classical thermodynamics was.
Lots of potentially revolutionary work on string theory, M-theory and loop quantum gravity is being done as we speak, who knows what that may reveal over the next 10-50 years?
