I believe there was a long forum debate when these changes were announced, concluding that in sum this is a relative financial redistribution from the top to the bottom within each league; rwystyrk's numbers confirm this in an anecdotal way. This could have a small positive impact by keeping leagues more competitive in the long run. High-ranking teams have the glory of a good season finish and more training slots to compensate for poorer short-term finances.
Finishing on a high rank doesn't mean a poor short-term finance. You could associate his high rank due to a good training plan and a good strategy on the finances.
This change it spoils the comptetition. Why u want to finish 2-3-4th if it's worst than finishing 5th.
Managers will loose interest on trying to be on the higher rank, they will fight for the cup.
Another thing, you imagine a finalist of the cup and ending 5th on the competition, if he dindt have a local game on saturday, he can go divine trick and win the cup with any negative consequence, that would be a LOL.
That change also favours a divine trick to win a CUP if you manage to be on the final and finish on 5th position if oyu have the last game of the season away(and a top team can do that)
