As I look at the prize money in both leagues I think I better relegate now and try to go for top place in second league next season (14 mil.) in stead of fighting for place 6, 7 or 8 in first league (6, 4, 2 mil.).
Maybe this is something to look at Scott?
Or did I miss something?

Hmmm definately something to ponder, though there is no garentee any team dropping down will get that all elusive league 2 title, i see hwer eyou are coming from.

Obviously wont change this season, and may not change the total payment for league 2 champions as it sort of simulates the chas injection promoted clubs get in any league.

What are peoples thoughts?

Looking at it as if I wasnt running the game, I would possibly keep 1st and 2nd the same to represent the bonus of moving to the top league, but then lower the amound given to 3rd-8th.

What do you guys think?

maybe some sponsorship money higher league get more

keep teams interested in staying up

relegated teams get the following

Seventh - 4 mil
Eighth - 2 mil

div two prizes are

Champions - 14 mil
Runners up - 12 mil

so the best a team could hope for cash wise would be, over the two seasons, 4mil + 14 = 18 mil.

Bear in mind this is best case scenario, thats an average of 9mil per season, which would equate to between fith/sixth in the top league. On that basis, maybe it is slightly high, but wouldnt say overly so when you consider that would be for an ideal deliberate relegation.
