i think ive overshot with the numbers but believe the principle can still work.

the purpose is to help distribute cash in the game more equally - id like to see a way to force the top teams to have to spend more each week as at the moment the margin for error is much higher than a team fighting to stay up in l.3 for example.

We should all make decisions and have success / failure relative to one another no matter which division we are in.

i think this will happen in time ;)

In germany the i leagues pays a lot salaries in comparison to the second league, just the top teams in the second league are nearly equal to the midfield of the first league ... I hope you could understand that.

exactly. As players will get trained further and further, higher division teams will need more expensive players to compete. When you look at it I had a good chance for the championship in Belgium last year, with players averaging 5,5k wages. In a few seasons division I teams probably need 10k or more on average wages per player to be able to compete, and a few seasons later it will be 20k...
Eventually all will level out and only teams that can succesfully manage income/costs will be able to stay competitive.

Here I'm ;)

I dunno if the BBs really want to reduce the money gap between the divisions because to do that it will be enough to reduce the amount of the TV live. The problem of the difference among the divisions will appear better in a few season and in order to not hurry to change suddenly this system, it should be better to think seriously about this matter from now. I don't have any idea yet...
Of course I should see an advantage playing in the top division, I'm playing to another browsing game where if you wanna stay in the first division you must spend a lot of money but in that game a lot of teams prefer to play in second or third division earning a lot of money climbing the divisions only when they are really rich. This system is not so good cause it's simply not funny. The only solution is to cut the entrances coming from TV bring its to the same level for all the divisions (100k/TV for example) reducing a little bit the "power" of the top teams cause they will have higher salaries with the same entrances, imho

Feel free to add or rip apart my brainwave!

I've got to agree with some others here. If you (or in fact the BBs) want to reduce the gaps between the divs there are easier ways to do that, sponsor money, attendance figures and so on.

This kind of different wages for different divs will only be confusing. At last when you are on the transfer market.

Lowering wages will only mean that managers start to use even better players and then they will also (perhaps) have some problems with spending. This wouldn't be the case only if wages were so little compared to income that those wouldn't matter and no team could overspend. I don't think that would be cool.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was (again) thinking this wage increase the other way around.

The BBs have spent the past few seasons making the gaps between the divisions wider.

My guess is that they probably don't want to narrow them.

That's true but probably there will be a day when they will think there is enough gap and that day what they will do to reduce the gap or at least to keep the gap?

Anyway I think the same that Juice, BBs don't want to do that now, even if it could be better to start to think about it ;)

Then why suddenly make a huge adjustment on season ticket holder growth? This impacts the attendence which should be the biggest factor between the top and bottom teams.

The STH for top division champions was out of line - it was giving them a promotion bonus when they in fact did not promote.

It wasn't a philosophical change, it was fixing a bug.
