Dude, you missed the point. People starting at the bottom will not have problems with demotion and if so, they will join a bot league most likely.

Teams that demote from higher leagues still make most money in the lower division, thats why instant repromotion is like a walk in the park.

Right now, you are not hurt by a demotion, as the income from tickets does not suffer at all. That's why I added the numbers from last season, the demoted teams sits on top by a huge margin.

Add the additional TV and merchandise money for the playoff time, plus the surplus from players sold, a demoted team has a very good chance to promote again, because it starts with a decent cash reserve. I don't have the time to dig out some stats, but I guess that a very high percentage of teams demoted (maybe this applies only for micros), promotes the very next season.
