Well I could write a novel about this and thought I'd comment again as it seems to be a hot topic on the forum these days.
I did do a FAQ on the wage system but a lot of managers are still clinging to the notion that it's a punishment for top teams. The other big misconception is that it stops the top teams breaking away, it doesn't really do that.
It stops top teams breaking away at a disproportionate rate IF there is high inflation. Make no mistake they'll be getting the rep, the prize money and the ability to build a stadium (tried to get stadium changes in but no luck).
I also read a lot of 'top teams will have higher wages' they will IF they auto extend. Too many are thinking of the old economy and placing values on players that won't wash in the new economy. The most successful managers will be the ones that don't auto extend and get market wage smack on all the time.
The main concern on the forums seems to be that there are going to be top teams and the argument goes that to prevent this happening then prize money should be cut back.
This won't work though if you give everyone less cash then cash increases in value, so in a bizarre twist you actually could increase the value of the prize money being offered.
I think my main worry though is the nature of the complaints, still most managers seem to be preoccupied with rank or being no.1.
Maybe SI haven't done enough to bring a focus onto the FA leagues, that's the game. So why be concerned with what the Gold Cup winner is doing if your in Division 4, your only concern should be Division 4.
You have the same cash as everyone in that Division and should you get promoted then you'll have enough cash and an economic environment to easily improve your team to compete at this new level.

Jak, what are your thoughts on investment. I've sunk a little cash into my Stadium to cover me upto Level 5. Im doing well in my league, looking for around a 5th-7th place finish.
Would you buy a new player with the money coming in, or invest in a 5* YA?
Or perhaps a third option, do nothing and hope for similar achievement in Second season and get a BIGGER star?

It's a gamble m8. If the economy starts to heat up then players will increase in price a lot so opportunity will be slim.
If on the other hand it remains fairly slow then I think your far better off taking a low wage team as far as you can and then investing in the right player.
5* YA it depends where and how many others there are, Brazil and no academies there already then yeah fill your boots!
Stadiums not much you can do on them until rep 10-12 and then not much until you've secured and holding rep 14.
