Why should I avoid relegation?

Subject: Why should I avoid relegation? Thu Nov 27, 2008 3:50 pm

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?

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.

That's precisely what I was thinking. The money situation is not really an issue. The only potential issue would then be the amount of ab's potentially gained after being relegated. I don't consider this an issue either, as all clubs are fairly equal skill-wise in AFM.
