The new FA rules should increase the number of players on the market, thereby decreasing inflation, no?

fewer players = higher prices for all players, not only <60k

i dont think the decrease will be significant yeah the ones closer to 60k salary will be more expensive, but it shouldnt affect price for those with salaries till 30k, but time will only show that

So what were you doing if not tanking? Those 10m couldn't magically appear in your budget. If you're collecting money for seasons, than you're tanking, that's at least how we in Serbia think of tanking, you don't have to relegate or have minimal salary. I have tanked in DI for several seasons with 200k+ weekly incomes.
Maybe the correct term is hoarding money, but it doesn't matter. If you're collecting money, you should be penalized, so that new managers would have a chance to catch up quicker.

Can you train and be competitive in 1 league of Serbia for the title? Hmm, I guess not.

You can, KK Mordor won some of his titles while he trained players. There is also this new GS rule that can help managers who train and are competitive for the trophy.

I expect to have around 30m in about 4-5 seasons, so this would impact me as well, and I'll have to change my plans a little. We will just have to rely on our knowledge of strategy, training and tactics in order to win, and not so much in the knowledge of making money. It will improve the competitiveness and it will be more challenging, so I completely support this idea and can't wait until it's implemented!

The new prerequisites are: at least 60 skill points and a salary no higher than $60 000"

I don't get why they did that. Why not just FA everyone above 60 TSP? Teams will still have the same number of players, but since less high level players are available, not only will the price of these players go up, but top level teams will start looking at less skilled alternatives which would raise low salary player prices as well.

Also this new luxury tax could actually end up benefiting teams with the most money. Teams that currently have huge amounts of money (ie 30 million) may have a permanent advantage over other teams because the new tax could make it impossible for other teams to get that kind of money. The mega-rich teams could use some of their money to buy a team of world class players and excellent trainees to avoid the tax, but essentially, if you take into account the value of their assets (ie their players), they would have the same amount of money, as long as they didn't dramatically overpay or buy old, skill dropping players.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I would support docking teams for getting relegated; more for 8th place finishers and less for relegation series losers. And of course teams wouldn't get penalized for getting relegated in their first 2/3 seasons.

If you are such an expert, you should have either spoken up earlier, or offer some advice now...

As we do not know the full details any panicking is useless.

Oh, I manage over € 250 million in assets if that somewhat helps to solidify my statements...

Yes O Bear, think you knocked it out of the park
Certainly my plan would be to invest in players
Of course that would be the plan for all bothered by tax and thus push those players to never be affordable to those that don't yet have money
