I believe managers should be rewarded for making playoffs. If you start handing out extra income to teams that didn't make the playoffs then you are negating a big part of the advantage of making playoffs.

I think a simple solution would be to award a certain amount of money to each team at the end of the season depending on what place they came. So 1st place gets the most, followed by second, third etc etc. That way everyone gets some income, and it also makes people try and fight for a higher standing in their league.
the question is, why most the first one get a double reward, as you said before they already get good money and have the chanche to promote or win a championship.
He also don't say, that flyling out of PO not qualify for it should be an advantage, it just shouldn't be that hard difference and personally i find them pretty big ;) Thefifth placed team looses 1,5 Mio more then my team, during the offseason.
