I think Top Level league prize should be worth more than National Cup for 3 reasons:
-The sheer number of matches involved in league is more than twice that involved with the cup, even in Thailand...in my country it is more than 4 times!
-It would make the cup more competitive. Top clubs would play their weaker players for most cup rounds making it more likely that more lower teams will progress to late rounds. Why on earth should a top level club in a tight race for the league champion be holding their MotS for the cup since its the biggest prize at stake in a season?
-For many nations, cup winner (or runner up if winner is same as top level league champ) wins WCL qualification spot, worth a lot in terms of both G and player experience...an additional prize that should be considered in this equation

What I would suggest is this:
1) Double league prizes across the board. This means every level, every spot. Top Level champion receives 2M and so on
2) Make Cup prize worth 100,000G X (number of cup rounds). Thus Thailand cup winner would get 1.4M while USA winner gets 700,000

The average cup prize, worldwide, would probably be 700,000 G at most, making average cup plus top level league prize in a nation worth no more than 2.7M, only 8% more than existing structure...what do ya think?

IMHO price for cup should be higher for one biggest reason. This really only one chance for big money for teams from lower division. It is still in mine mind when I started in B when someone started in Top Level ,just because of more luck. Now it is also happen , some teams starts in C some in E.

PS GKO is not real life, one club has one manager not million supporters like Barcelona or Manchester United . So everybody want to win, more everybody want to have chance to win . You want to create group teams which win all the time and rest could only watching them. It is not good for this game.

Brian , stop think about yourself all the time. I know you are first US Top level, but you gonna win a cup too if you want that money

You know its not me I am thinking about here...it is other teams in my nation, actually. I make my post specifically because I DO NOT WANT "to create group teams which win all the time and rest could only watching them"...this is the situation now, which I'd like to see change. As no. 1 in top level, I don't think I should have much of an interest in the cup, really. Like you say, the cup is the only chance at big money for lower level teams and those with little or no chance to win the top level prize. Top clubs in top levels should be more focused on the league and international competition like WCL than the national cup...

Winning the double is a rare event in world football precisely because top level league prizes are worth so much more than national cup. Among the (historically) biggest leagues in the world (Spain, England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Brazil, and Argentina), only one club has ever won back to back doubles (Barcelona in 1952 & 1953) and never has a club from these leagues won the double three times in a row...
