I like Brian Clough's idea, a lot more than KRAGRA's!
The reason is simple: i don't know how is your experience with league statics, but mine says that a low position team rarely gets something... Top 3 teams always gets everything: top scorer, asassist leader, player of the year and youth player of the year, so.... Will we keep giving them more and more money? Most of these awards already exist (without payment, far enough for me), so, will we give more and more money to the strongest to increase the gap?
Global awards would be awesome, but i think the game would require some improvements that don't think would happen (such as Cup, WCC and WC stats), i like the idea, but i don't see it happening.
