Far from that that I will be 1st every season. My point at this story is next.
I don't like when BB punish someone who is 1st in every League, not just i I League. Clubs on 1st place in II, III... division have now less money that before, that's all.
One question, where have you seen that a club play on an opponent arena (stadium) and get half of the money from tickets, I didn't see that nowhere, did you?

I like to discuss about those things, I don't see something bad in this, just want to hear some other opinions.

Dont you get a nice attendance boost the next season if you are DI. winner?

No.

actualy, you can earn more money as title holder than finalist. When 2nd i couldnt go over cca 605k-610k. When 1st i could reach 620k+.

Its not a big difference in my case, some thousand $. It depends on your Fan Survey.

Im ok with this change.

In my country a lot of times, the winner of season X, in season X+1 win again. And won also cups.

Two times C.S Larrañaga won 6 consectuvies trophies. This team after all get bored of winning all and abandon the game

One time Aprendices insuficientes won 4 consecutives trophies. This team after this row, get bored and abandon the game

In this moment its happening again. The last winner ( Tavolara) its on a 3 trophies row, will he continue this line? All seems that YES.

So punishing a little the first position in my country, seems to be a good new.

You know what is the new award when you're good during the season and finish 1st? BB took from your 4 games 17% of money.

It isn't right. It's only 10% per one game for team with HCA in every round, which plays 5 matches in PO.

Before change:
1st in RS:
2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 1/3 + 2/3 = 3,00 x full incomes

4th in RS:
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 2,00 x full incomes

After change:
All teams: 5x 1/2 = 2,50 x full incomes

So You lost only 0,5 of full income, it's 0,5 x 650k = 325k overall and only 65k per match.
Please note that You can gain more in B3.
And please note, that previous system was very unfair for teams, which finished 3-4 in league. It was painfull for low ranked teams if they tried to win play-offs, so very often they tanked in PO. Now economical situation in play-offs is the same for every team (and it's fair, there is nothing wrong with equal incomes), however high ranked teams still have tactical advantage (HCA). Play-offs will be more interesting.

Then you got money for promotion, and what happen when some of us in 1st League win it, we all got a big 0.

But You win title. It's goal for all other teams, not money.
And after winning of title Your fans are happier in next season so You can gain more money from tickets.
You still have advantage in comparition to other teams in league. And please note, that promotion bonus is created to help new teams to fight in higher league with better opponents. If You win title You still play in the same league, so promotion bonus isn't needed.

So won't we now be seeing teams happier to place 6th & 7th than 5th,

I don't think so. In competitive league you can be relegated. Then Your incomes in next season will decrease by 40%. In fact relegation series very often are more interesting than play-offs ;-) I saw many times situation when salaries of teams, which fight in relegation are two times higher than salaries of teams which fight for title ;-) Because defeat in relegation is moooooooooooore painful for club than defeat in finals.

Thanks for that summary.

Coming back to a point I raised before - from a sportsmanship and excitement point of view, it might be better to remove income from the Sunday Night decision game. Plenty teams simply tank game 2 go get the extra money (for free, if the team is high oods favourite). Mind sharing a thought abuot this?

Thx for your answer, I like it.
In that way that you see it it's a nice change for really most managers, less tanking and etc. The game will be more interesting,.
I know what the new changes bring, but on my first look I've seen that 1st place loose money and I didn't like that. But on this way the game is more competitive and that's good.

As I said before, the change about the 5th place is excellent.

It's good to hear some expert opinion and explanation.

Regards

I wanted to respond to the debating, but I think somebody before me said it better than I can:
